Game 46: Heat @ Pistons (3/23 7:30PM) - Page 16 - Basketball Forum : Professional and College Basketball Forums

It really grinds my gears that so many NBA GM's get away with being so terrible at drafting. Just off the top of my head, in the last few years I've said before the draft, not after and using hindsight, that I'd love to pick up DeAndre Jordan, Darrell Arthur, Glen Davis, Chandler Parsons, Dajuan Blair, and I wanted to give Jimmer a draft promise when he was a junior and nobody knew who he was and wasn't on any draft boards. That's why I have no sympathy for teams that are terrible and cry about small market, but R.C. Buford gets it down in San Antonio.

Buford is the best of the best. Just look again at this past draft, and how good Kawhi Leonard is playing.

As Riles is a Kentucky guy, you know he's champing at the bit to get one of those guys on this team.

Doron Lamb or Darius Miller may be nice. No way we're getting any of the others

Might make it easier to amnesty Mike Miller if we can nab a quality combo guard off the bench. Helps that Lamb is a knockdown shooter too.

EDIT: How bout Jae Crowder in the 2nd round too? Dude looks like he ticks all the Heat DNA boxes.

My internet shat on me when the lead went down to 9. I'm glad we held on, but **** this team is frustrating.

Crowder looks nice, but I don't know if he'll develop a 3's skillset. He's only 6-6, and not particularly athletic.

LOL, yeah, was Pfund. Totally forgot he existed, which further validates your point.

How was Turriaf in this game? I missed it. Box scores looks ok but I want to know his "intangibles". Did he help our rebounding? Interior D? Did he finish inside on O?

**Wade2Bosh** · 03-24-2012, 11:50 PM

Great in the 1st minutes he played in the 1st half. Really pulled away when he was in cause of his energy and his challenges at the rim.

Didnt really play much in the 2nd half as Spo went with UD/Bosh when thigns began going downhill on offense.

**Jace** · 03-25-2012, 04:13 AM

Yup, intangibles looked good. Created turnovers and went after loose balls.

**Wade County** · 03-25-2012, 02:45 PM

Liked the look of him. He's clearly an upgrade on Pitt and Curry....
