What's new

Following potential 2012 draftees

Yup. I want guys to spread the floor, and I'm sorry, but Millsap just doesn't do that. When was the last time he even attempted a three? I'd much rather have a pure SF, then just stand pat with Millsap there.
One thing I love about Millsap is how he's evolved over the years as a player. Millsap went from strictly being a pf, energy guy, rebounder, no jumpshot player to having a sweet J and guard skills. Every year he seems to develop something new. Is it a stretch to say he could become a floor spacer, and develop his three point shot into a weapon in his arsenal?
How about trading our #8 to Charlotte for their 2nd rounder in '12 and their first rounder in '13?

They could pick up Davis and another stud at #8. We could pick up DMiller and give us another year to evaluate our roster and know what we need to pick up in the lottery next year.
I kinda like that idea, but let me add to that, with them drafting Kemba Walker, does that make Augustin available? I wouldn't mind adding him. Harris and Augustin could get some minutes together. It's possible Charlotte could be the worst team next year as well. I like that trade.
Do you think Miller will last to the second round?
Also, I think they gotta sweeten it a bit. It's a #8 pick in a draft that is widely considered strong.
possibly getting the #1 pick isn't sweet enough? Getting a potential superstar would be well worth it.
Has to be Barnes. In the half court, you dump the ball into Big Al, Millsap, Favors, I don't see how you can greatly improve the way you do that. Our bread and butter play is Harris dribble up, Hayward comes off the curl receives the ball and dump it into the post. It's not even the PG who does that.

On the other hand with Barnes & Hayward in the wings - we're locked in for the next 5 years! Barnes' 3pt shooting will spread the floor for our bigs big time. Double Al/Millsap/Favors and he shoots a 3pt. You don't double Al et al, and it's a free 2pt.
if we pick Marshall, our best play will be Favors slashing to the hoop for a dunk or layup instead of post up. It also helps the overall team shooting %. Marshall just makes the offense that much better and more consistent. I want to get back to pick'n roll offense. Jefferson would be decent in pick'n pop plays.
... so the only reason Miller isn't in the lotto is playing time?!?!
No. PKM has stated many times he doesn't have a scorers mentality, and defers too much. But it's a shame that in today's NBA a player with good offense and bad defense is considered a good player, while a player limited on offense but a good or great defender is considered average. To me there was nothing average about his game at Kentucky. Miller had an above average year. He is the best 4th or 5th option I've ever seen on one of the more talented teams I've seen in a while.

I jumped completely off the Barnes bandwagon after the tournament. For me there are too many red flags in his game to even justify risking the 8th pick. I'd rather take Miller with the 20th pick then Barnes with the 8th pick.
 
I am at an utter loss for words. The Spurs are going to draft Darius Miller as well. We are just ****ed in every single way possible. Zero 1st round picks; **** me.
 
It's not over yet boys. The Raptors are going to land themselves a nice little 3rd overall pick and Stern will be smiling the whole time.

I would be absolutely thrilled. As a canuck, I have a slight soft spot for the Raptors. Good announcers, nice coach, nice team. Id love to see a team of Bargnani, JV, Davis, and a player like MKG if they nailed a 2nd or 3rd pick.

Jonas and Davis.
 
Jonas and Davis.

Pretty lacklustre year for Davis. I am curious to see how a 4/5 tandem of JV and Andrea would do. They seem to superficially compliment each other well. A player like MKG would makes Toronto such a better team
