He must change his last name to "Milicic", though.

How can they say Thornton was hurt by losing an inch when he has a 7'1" wingspan? He's even quick by the numbers compared to Young.Originally Posted by Glenn
I did see that they weren't sure how he can defend the 3 because FSU played a lot of zone. That could be a positive though as we seem to excell in the zone right now. I also think Amir and Max could dominate in a zone too with their quickness.
And I like Young too BTW.
Phil Wenneck: The man purse. You actually gonna wear that or are you just fuckin' with me?
Alan Garner: It's where I keep all my things. Get a lot of compliments on this. Plus it's not a purse, it's called a satchel. Indiana Jones wears one.

Detroit Pistons select - Thaddeus Young
I've been wanting this pick for a while. I love the kid's atheticism and length. He could be a fantastic finisher for the Pistons. Looks like he's got to bulk up a bit, though.
check out about 1:10 in when Thaddeus blows by Durant
what i really like about Thaddeus is his "explosive" athleticism (from his highlights). Tayshaun's certainly athletic, but he's more of a smooth player. i like that Thaddeus is explosive to the hole and and the rim. if his ball handling improves, he could be taking guys off the dribble and dunking strong to finish. i like.
I remember being big on Young early on when it looked like everyone else was way out of reach, and I really wanted the Pistons to grab him. I know Thornton looks like a better player, but he seems kind of like a Corliss guy, out of position at either forward spot. I know he's a lot more athletic that Corliss, but you know what I'm saying. I'm having a hard time making a decision here.
I thought that at first too, but I think he's more of an out of position guy like Harrington or Marion. Not a slow footed Corliss. can we get some clips of Thornton as well Matt?Originally Posted by Zekyl
