This is a very interesting pick. The reason is that he resembles Rudy Gay's abilities. Maybe not as good, but they are similar players.
I wouldn't mind moving him into the starting line up, but that means Shane Battier has to go to the bench.
Also, I doubt we are going to draft a center. Deke is coming back next year isn't he? We still have players that we waived last year we could bring back. Why draft a new center? |
Why would you move Battier to the bench for a late draft pick, 19 yr old rookie. That's just...
I don't know why but I think we'll move up and trade for Portland's pick (13th).
And we could draft a center with our 2nd round pick, so he can become the backup C when Deke retires.
