My Randy Foye dilemma

If Miami drafts Beasley like expected, we draft the next best talent. That being Derrick Rose. Where does this put Foye? I have a hard time believing Foye will compare to Rose in his career, but he is a great player. He's not a good enough shooter to stick at the 2 all the time. What do we do?! Draft Eric Gordon to replace McCants? Take a risk on a center to be Big Al's partner?

Re: My Randy Foye dilemma

The draft this season is going to be a very difficult one for the wolves, as the best player is the same as minnys best (beasley/Al)
Then the next few guys are the same as Minnys next couple in Mayo/Rose and Foye/Mccants

Really the best case scenario would have been if Hibbert or Jordan could have improved to the point they were a definite top 5 pick and it would have been worth the risk.

Foye/Mccants have started to look very legit again recently, especially against Utah... but then i guess they would just have to go with best player available, regardless of position... and work from there

Re: My Randy Foye dilemma

You guys may want to look at a Brook Lopez....7 footer who can run the floor, block shots, make free throws, post up, and hit a 15 footer. Some mocks have him as high as #3 right now.

Re: My Randy Foye dilemma

I'm just not sold on any of the big guys this year past Beasley. Too much raw talent, and too many if's. Devon Hardin looks good, especially next to Al. I'm just not a fan of wasted picks. They piss me off.

Lopez is one that would work great, but I won't get hot for the guy until I see him play more.

What about Telfair? He's shown to have game in him still here in Minne. I would hate to let him go.

Craig Smith too. He's a great player, but he's just not getting what he deserves. An being behind Al Jefferson is a major reason. I think he is as good as gone, but I hope we get something of equal worth back for him.

Re: My Randy Foye dilemma

Wolves should trade all of their second rounders for a late first (pheonix or someone trying to cut costs) and get Andrew Ogilvy...

Im still highest on Mayo... i just think he has the biggest 'star' potential of anyone in this draft, but then Beasley and Rose are almost given performers on the nba level, and Jordan/Hibbert/Lopez fit the biggest need here

Re: My Randy Foye dilemma

I really like Mayo too. But I just worry that if we draft someone, they have to be a pure SG. Foye is already a combo guard. Mayo + Foye both don't create that much for other players. Maybe draft Rose, and trade Foye + filler for an early pick. And draft a 2-guard/center.

We'll put much thought into who we want as Wolve's fans, but McHale will **** it up.

Re: My Randy Foye dilemma

I really like Eric Gordon too.

Foye
Gordon/ McCants
Brewer
Jefferson

Then we pick-up a big guy somehow. We could make a package for a late 1st. DeVon Hardin!!!

Re: My Randy Foye dilemma

See although they are both Combo guards i think it could work with Mayo and Foye, both are bigger then the usual combo guards and dont have real trouble defending 2's..

Both can create offense for themselves, with Foye being much better at creating for team mates.

I think they would be great on the same team

Re: My Randy Foye dilemma

The more I think about Foye/Mayo, the more I like it. We'll see though. I really want a center from the draft too.

Re: My Randy Foye dilemma

Ogilvy would be solid next to Jefferson, i may be biased as an aussie but he'll be as good as bogut IMO, if we can use a few second rounders in trade to move up and grab him he would be a good solution at the 5... allowing us to take the best player available with our pick, which will likely be top 3 (and therefore no center worth taking)

Re: My Randy Foye dilemma

If you are happy with Telfair/Foye as your guards of the future than draft a big guy. If not take Mayo, or Gordon.

Re: My Randy Foye dilemma

Maybe we can trade up to the 5-10 range picks? I think Mayo's stock has dropped so much that he'll be there. A few teams might be hot for the earlier guys.
