Hold on now...Zo prior to his kidney ailment was one of the quicker post players in the league. Riley always had PJ inbound the ball so that Zo could beat his man down court and set up position deep on the block.

He's not nearly that slow, that's called being paralyzed.

His ballhandling and playmaking ability appear good enough to play PG next to Wade. His athleticism and length allow him to play bigger than 6-3. What is more important to you next to Wade, shooting/scoring or playmaking? Your Rose comments made me think the former.

His moves seem really predictable.

I would want a shooter - a younger, more talented Damon Jones. Give me a guy who can shoot the lights out and keep the defense honest, not allowing them to pack it in and take away the lane from Wade & our bigs. A guy who doesn't turn the ball over a whole heck of alot, not really a great passer, but a guy who can make plays when they are there. A taller PG would be great, someone who can guard both the 1 & 2 positions effectively. Anything more than that is icing on the cake, we can get by with that type of player. (in my opinion)

[Smithian]

Jerryd Bayless would be a good one matching all those things if we're not high enough to get someone like Rose or Beasley,

[sMaK]

Beasley is the guy I want, but I don't see us having a top 5 pick.

[Smithian]

I think we'll be high enough to contend for Beasley. Even if we're in the 5 or 6 spot, we still have a chance of getting a top pick.

I just hope we don't make a trade for someone like Miller who will drag us just outside the playoffs.

[NewAgeBaller]

we just dropped from the 2nd pick to the 4th on NBADraft.net ..

[KingOfTheHeatians]

We should be back to No. 2 now.

[KingOfTheHeatians]

Appropriately.

i can see us being at best the 3rd pick by seasons end, but i dont see us beating out minnesota or seattle, even if we continue playing how we are now. they're too gud at wat they do

[Smithian]

We need a conspiracy to happen where David Stern decides Miami needs the top pick. That would be awesome.

We'd probably take some foreign player who needs three years of developing.

Just tank it. Minnesota started their tanking in the offseason so they have a head start, but Seattle might actually improve this season with Durant and Green. Don't lose hope. We do have it in us to be worse than Seattle. You can't give up. You have to believe.
