I don't disagree, but I'm going off of nbadraft.net and DX to compile this particular list, for now.

Time for them two to update their list then. Ford already dropped Mcadoo to 22nd and C Zeller up to 12. However, I doubt either one will be in the draft.

To be a superstar wing in the NBA you HAVE to be able to get to the rim at will. Glad someone high up finally noticed Barnes' inability to do this.

*runs through the door, breathing heavy* Sorry I'm late to the game with this, but I've been saying this about Barnes game since last drafts mega thread. I'm sure he's a phenomenal kid and a gracious citizen but I guess I don't see what everyone else does in him. He seems to be a spot up shooter with average NBA athleticism. He can hit from outside, I cant discount that, but he doesn't really do much else.

That said, I've been VERY impressed with K-G, I just dont see any scenario under which we'd be in position to grab him.

I'd be ecstatic with K-G, Miller, or Lamb. Don't really like any of the other wings at all. Lamb is a SG but has superstar potential with his length and hops.

40" vertical?

All the major mock drafts have him going around #10 right now, aka about where the GS pick should land. His stock could certainly continue to rise, but even if it does, we have plenty of assets to make an attempt to move up in the draft if we have to.
 
In an ESPN insider article, Chad Ford states that he has recently polled NBA GM's and the most current climate suggests that Barnes has slipped to around 6th for most.

Behind (no order);

Davis
Drummond
PJones
Kidd-Gilchrist
JLamb

Guess that means Quincy Miller could be in our range? Interesting.

I'm less worried than most. Sure there's guys I'd rather have, but I think there's 12 players I could get real excited about ... we'll make one or two very good pick ups.

Yup, and I know it's terrible of me to hope my team doesn't make the playoffs, but damn it, I want as big a piece of the 2012 draft as possible. **** getting our asses handed to us in the first round, GET MORE TALENT!

I feel better now.

Haha, I agree.
 
I "third" this. I want to develop the young talent much more than I want to maybe pickup the 8th seed in the playoffs. That said, if we end up with 2 lottery picks I really don't see how we can reasonably keep both with the amount of ultra young talent on the team now. I'd love to package both and target a guy. Being that the draft is so deep its not far fetched to think 8/11 could net the 5th pick is it? (is that too much to give up? are we screwing them? are they screwing us? magnets, how do those work?)

That's a tough one, but I think I would rather have #8 and #11 then just #5. The drop off from fifth to eighth really isn't much. Maybe it would be in a normal draft, but this isn't a normal draft, is it?
