Re: Official Lottery Bad Luck Complaining Thread
i think at 7 the 3 guys we should be looking at are Hibbert, Green and Brewer.
Noah will just be too much of a role player, we need an impact guy.
If we land outside the top 2 im all for trading this pick, especially if its number 3 (B.Wright)

Avalanche, you have taken my words out of my mind, nicely done. Sheefo, we already have discussed about why Noah is not going to be a big impact player immediately after being drafted in another thread in here. Even socco agreed.

we dont need just another hustle guy, i respect noah the way he plays because he chases be ball off the boards and gives his all, but thats why hes effective in college, not because hes overly skilled... he wont get passed being a role player in the NBA and with a number 7 pick you despirately try and avoid only getting a role player.... we need someone who can be an impact guy, a game changer.
Foye's taking holy water, along with 2 other "lucky" items to try and break the Twolves chain of bad luck, lets hope it works lol.

Re: Official Lottery Bad Luck Complaining Thread
But we don't need another roleplayer. We have too many of them. We need a big time impact player (and impact immediately). We need what Brandon Roy would have been. What Foye was supposed to be.

Re: Official Lottery Bad Luck Complaining Thread
I'm excited too, but our draft pick this year can't have that kind of season. He has to fulfill his potential immediately or it is no use to us IMO.

Re: Official Lottery Bad Luck Complaining Thread
I think signing Mike James has disrupted Foye's way to become an immediate impact player. I don't know whether it was the causation. Anyway, it is the time for Foye to start like one.

true, i dont know how many immediate impact guys there are though... a LOT of potentially star powered picks but some/most wont b ready right away, at least for what we need from them.
Brewer/Green are the most likely to contribute for us (short at the SF spot) if we slip past the top 2.

That's what I'm worried about. I keep hearing that this Brewer kid is immediately impact offense/defense (some said like a Prince or Howard type), so I'm all for that. I'm afraid of getting someone like Hibbert who looked like nothing special to me in the tournament. If we don't get a big man who's going to immediately get 14/8 or a wing who gets 16/4/4 then I don't see the point in keeping the pick, really.

unlikely on both accounts to be honest, no center outside oden will average that in their first year... and brewers offense isnt good enough at the moment to be relied upon, hes good defensively though.
im all for trading the pick if its #3 or worse
