Official 5th Pick Poll (Who Ya Got)

Yes

I could see it. Gunna be interesting...

I like Smart a lot. I think a lot of teams are also going with a two point set up at times. Smarts defense and hustle are off the charts. Our perimeter defense needs a lot of help and Smart could be the best defensive point in the whole draft. I don't really see the point in going after Aaron Gordon because we have Favors.

If like you said we're playing Burke & Smart together in the two point set up, and Smart is defending the opposing point. Then please tell me who Burke is going to defend?

I see so 6'3 Smart and Favors will defend Durant, James, J.Johnson, P.George and other wing stars. Great logic there dude.

I just put my vote in for Team Randle. I have a pretty limited basis for judging, but here's why I like him:

He seems to follow the mold of bulky, strong PFs who dominated college ball but had skeptics regarding how their game would translate into the NBA. Guys like Kenneth Faried, Paul Milsap, Carlos Boozer, even Draymond Green. He just comes across as an upgraded version of those guys. And a premier version of Paul Milsap is quite possibly an NBA all-star.

So... based heavily on gut feeling and light on actual knowledge, I on the Randle train.

Millsap was an NBA all-star this season ...

Depends on matchups, I would say, but you're right it could present a problem. And if you draft Smart, then what happens to Burks?

The only team we could match up OK with would be Clippers playing Paul and Collison... other than that you're left with either Burke picking up the SG or Smart picking up the SG (in which case his dominant on defense is lessen).

Randle is a question mark for me. He has the talent, but can he be effective against bigger and longer players? I'm not so sure.

Well, Randle reminds me of a more athletic Zack Randolph who has no problem being effective against bigger, longer players.

This.


Randle is being wayyyy underrated by this board.


I'm fine with it though. The same thing happened with MCW last year and I was proven right there.

Randolph can finish over longer players because he's, well, long. Randle... not so much.

Didn't you want Burke over MCW, too?

I rated both of them, but didn't like anyone else in the lottery.


Most people wrote off MCW right off the bat.

I'm actually quite happy only a handful liked Randle. It'll be that much sweeter when he starts to kill it in the NBA.
