I wasn't singling out Horford as a likely bust. I actually know very little about him. I was just using him as an example of a player who, if he was drafted by us, would become a bust just because that's our luck. Could have used anyone else as an example.
I never said that he is likely to be a bust. I think Horford is going to have a better NBA career than Noah. Mateo was probably using him as an example, but does that mean if Horford is being drafted by us, then he'll be a bust? No.
Think before what you are planning to say. Not all of us said that, that was just a demo. Geez.
You being a Gators fan, I can't blame ya, but once again, c'mon.
I think there are a couple of players to stay away of if you want a impact player.... Green and Noah... I think the guy that has the most potential to become a impact player and a guy who I feel if flying under the radar is Julian Wright. I also like Brewer. At 7 though, Horford or Hibbert would be a steal. I think the most ideal pick for this team would be Hibbert. He would actually learn from McHale. Also, going up guys like Garnett, Blount, Madsen and Smith in practice would really help him out. All of those guys are among the hardest working players in the league.
I forgot who said it but it is so true, this draft will likely make or break this franchise. We won't be a midrange team after this season. We are either going to be a playoff team or absolutly horrible.

I don't know so much about Jeff Green. Anyone know any pros and cons about him? Noah is NOT suitable for our team because we're in a desperate need for immediate help.

I always liked his athleticism and 'flashness', but he might not be NBA ready. It'll boost his stock way higher if he intend to stay in Kansas for one more year.

If we need another player in the center position, I don't see why they can't draft either of them.

i agree, Brewer and Hibbert would both be good picks at 7.
and there definately is a lot riding on this draft, whether it be what we get in trade, who we draft etc there could be a lot of ways this off-season goes and i also think we either improve to a playoff level team or we'll be right down the bottom of the standings.

He just seems to be a very well balanced player, he doesnt have an outside shot but everything else is at least consistant, although not spectacular.

NBA Comparison: John Salmons/Lamar Odom
Strengths: Versatile player whos all around ability creates mismatches for opposing teams Above average passer with great court vision to recognize open teammates Very good ball handler for his size Defensively Green does a excellent job defending players on the perimeter With his size and length he is capable of guarding a multitude of positions on the floor Unselfish player almost to a fault Shows a good post up game that Green uses to take advantage of smaller defenders Sees double teams extremely well Excellent finisher around the basket with a soft touch and springy legs Smart player who possess a high basketball IQ Moves extremely well without the ball and is a threat for backdoor alley-opps Owns tremendous body control, capable of hanging in the air and finishing after contact Decision making ability is very good, rarely does Green make mental mistakes during crucial moments in a game Excellent finisher in transition where he has the explosiveness to finish Good rebounder who does a decent job of using his arms and leaping ability to get rebounds out of position Has three point range on his jumper, an area he has improved greatly upon this year Solid attitude in his approach to the game and will be a strong locker room guy in the NBA One of those select players who possesses a feel for the game that cant be taught
Weaknesses: While improved this year, Green still isnt very comfortable shooting from the perimeter Struggles to consistently create for himself off the dribble where his moves remain undeveloped Has a tendency to force passes that arent there leading to turnovers Will need to continue to expand his comfort level in shooting from mid-range Needs to develop more of a scorers mentality at times he doesnt assert himself on offense While he possesses a great deal of small forward skills, some may consider him more of a pf Would benefit greatly by improving his overall quickness and foot speed. This would aid him greatly on defense and allow him to gain better separation from his defender offensively Defensively Green has a habit of gambling too much by reaching, leading him to pick up fouls
I never said that he is likely to be a bust. I think Horford is going to have a better NBA career than Noah. Mateo was probably using him as an example, but does that mean if Horford is being drafted by us, then he'll be a bust? No.

I was just messin' with ya, man.

That is the last thing we need. We were 10th in committing turnovers.
