Following potential 2012 draftees

@PKM:
If we were to draft Marshall and Rivers (as you playfully suggested above), what would you do about our front court situation? In other words, do you agree that someone needs to be traded? Who? And, for what?

I think we would still be in need of a good shooting SF. I would think Al or Sap would be able to get us an upgrade at that spot .. no real thoughts on who, though. Actually, would really like Thaddeus Young, if at all possible.

Maybe I'm wrong, but you said shooting sf. I've never thought of Thaddeus Young as a shooter. Am I wrong? I would love to have him on the jazz though.

I agree .. I contradicted myself .. I just like Thaddeus. I think we need a PG of the future, a SG that can shoot, and a SF that can either DEFEND or shoot, preferrably both.

What about trading Al for young, Meeks, and Haws. Future first round pick? Would the 76ers do that?

I'm college bb guy more than an NBA guy. Most everyone on this board knows more than I do about salary situations, team needs, etc. I just know the individual players really well .. considering I start watching the top players in the country at around 16years old, watch how their games improve (or don't improve), how they transition from HS to college, and formulate my opinions on how they'll project to the NBA.
 
Thaddeus Young isn't a shooter, but in the 2 seasons he did attempt 3's (over 2 per game those 2 seasons, then 3 seasons of .3 attempts per game) he shots 34%. Not bad. He is super athletic and strong.
 
And in college he shot 42% from deep on 3 attempts per game. I think Philly and Collins has him playing more in the post/slashing this year.
 
His athletic #'s in combine (and from what I have seen) suggest he could guard 2,3, and 4's effecitively. Has enough quickness and mobility to be a SF, was projected as being a SF coming out of college. I think Philly just uses him as a PF because they already have too many wing players.
 
Young would have been a monster in Sloan's system with Dwill. Would have been like Brewer minus the extreme shooting defiency.
