in a crapshoot draft like this, it isn't that big of a deal to take a risk on a potential 7-footer.
1st free agent signings, then trades, otherwise we could lose some of our precious cap space!
We've made the risks of drafting a 1st round pick almost zero. If #15 is a bust this year, he's an expiring with favorable contract terms in a trade next year.
I either want a high potential player or a player ready to play now. No guys that need to be groomed just to be backups.
here's a wild card, on the potential side: Brandon Jennings.
His stock is so low right now that his own agent is pulling him out of the selection show. He could fall to the Pistons at #15.
Now, I've never been a fan of Jennings or Mullins, but that was when they were considered top-5 picks. At #15, all bets are off.
It might allow Bynum to be included in a big man trade.
I'm fine with taking a flier on Mullins. There is such a high potential for busts this year might as well take the risk on a big man.
I wouldn't be surprised if at all if we took Jennings.
well, it was a given that he was a top-10 pick before today. His agent apparently no longer thinks so.
Mullins I think is best-case (%5 chance) Alonzo Mourning. Worst-case (%95 chance), he's darko.
Jennings is a little safer. %25 chance he's Kenny Anderson, %75 chance he's Sebastian Telfair.
Supposedly the Bucks are high on Jennings.
