Most of the top 15 are physical specimens? No they are not! Davis, Drummond, MKG and the Jones boys are the only physical specimens in the draft. The rest are just basketball bodies...
Leonard is getting way too overrated for me at this point and he is just getting traction because he is 7'1. Like I said he may be solid but before the end of the season he wasn't even a bonafide lottery pick!
We have to take a calculated risk at the 10 spot to get a core player. We need a scorer and defender, preferably rolled into one player. I say if its a guard it has to be Rivers bc of his shooting, penetration, and ball handling abilities.
If its a big man, it has to be Drummond or Moultrie because they have the bodies to contribute sooner than later. Zeller and Leonard will never be All Star material. We've seen that type of player come in recently... Aldrich, Collison, can't remember the guy from Ohio State recently, etc. They don't pan out. Serviceable yes, difference maker and potential starter, no.
They are non lottery players and would be solid additions if picked say after the 15th pick. But for my 10 spot, I need starter material.
Sullinger is hands down better than Zeller and Leonard and most scouts are skeptical of him being starter material because of his physical limitations but some wanna draft Leonard over him if he still on the board? Cmon people, the big man spot is the hardest to draft but I'm not drafting a big man who has reached his ceiling already.
That's why Howard went before Oak bc the Howard potential was too great to not draft #1. Same with Drummond if he slips to us. We got Davis, so were playing with house money at 10. Drummond offers potential greatness if he puts it together. Zeller and Leonard offer backup players who we'll be looking to replace in the starting lineup after 2-3 years if they even show they are capable of starting for stretches at a time.
Put it this way? Kwame Brown went #1 off his skill set at the time and we know Drummond is exceptionally better at the same stage... So Drummond can't get picked 10th if he is still on the board? Zeller and Leonard don't even have the look to be on a big three billboard!
Leonard just got handled in combine workouts the other day and Royce White was the best big man that day! Cmon.
