2009 NBA Draft

Only if I'm in a "gotta get a big guy who can help now" mood. And I'm not yet, nor had I better ever be.

Do you buy the David Lee/Hansbrough comparisons?

Is he the best player on the board, GD or do you just want him?

I don't care who they Draft as long as we get a real fucking player that is logging real minutes and making a contribution in 2 or 3 years time.

Our shitty Draft record has to end at some stage - why not this year?

Or did Joe use all his Draft luck when he stumbled on to Stuckey and AA?

They are both white and hussle. Ends there. Lee is athletic and tough on the glass, uses his speed and good hands on offense, but little else. Psycho T is a guy with great moves, intelligence, and intensity on offense (I think he's NCs all time scorer), but not enough strength, size, leaping ability, or range on his shot to find much more than a niche in the league.

I dunno, I was just asking.

Probably just another bench PF for us.

I'd rather have a good PG, if that is what is there (Lawson).

If Joe sells/trades the pick, then that signals that we are not rebuilding, we're going for it now.

Right now it looks like Lawson should be available.

I'd Draft him if he's the BPA and allow Stuckey to play off the ball more often.

For 1 thing it gives you more freedom to trade Rip (don't have to sign Gordon to recover) and there is no guarantee Bynum will hang around after next season.

I'm not sure Hansburough is even a lock to stay in the NBA. To me, he looks like a solid role player with a low ceiling (like Luke Walton before his shot disappeared). I think Tyler is 2nd round material, not first round.

Most mocks have moved him up to the #17-20 range, fwiw.

That's fine. I'm just saying I wouldn't look at him until the early 2nd. I just don't see how he becomes more than a bench player. He doesn't have much foot speed and he doesn't really have the strength to be a full time center either.
