If Monty has his way, it's either Rivers, Zeller or Moultrie. Go figure.

i think we could do better either trading this pick or drafting someone more of need.... that said it will depend on how the draft shakes out.... a good backup 2 guard as the 6th man isnt a bad thing to have.

i hope its someone in front of us... that would make a few rumored guarantees in front of our 10th pick.

Didn't pay attention to his reach, honestly. I just think Monty really likes him because he's a lock as a solid contributor even if not a star.

Yeah, he probably won't last long. Basically what I want from this draft id Davis, Rivers/Lillard, and a center which is why I'm referencing leanord and ezeli. I'll go watch highlights of ezeli now lol.

Basically with Gordon and lilliard/rivers and whomever that big is being young and growing together, is damned unstoppable.

Let's say the squad after this year is

Vasquez/Rivers or Lilliard
Gordon/Henry
Aminu/??
Davis/Ayon
Ezeli or Leanord/Smith/Oak

Ezeli will never be more than an off the bench banger IMO.

Really don't want Rivers. I just think he has probably reached his ceiling. Dude has an NBA coach as a dad. He has had the best coaching, how much left is there for him to develop and improve?

Plus, once again, the only thing that makes him so good is that fact that he travels more than anyone else. If the refs start to call it, he won't be very good.

I think Zeller can be a solid rotation guy. Maybe this is crazy, but I think he has bigger upside than Hansbrough. I'm not 100% if I want him at 10, but I don't think he's a bad pick.

Well no. But he doesn't have nearly as much room for improvement as other players.

I don't know if anyone in the NBA travels as much as he travels.

I'd love a center too but if not I hope AD can help J-Smith on D.

would have been great if we had been able to move Kaman for a mid 20's pick. Davis, 10th pick, 25th-ish pick.
