Re: 2008 Draft Thread
Well apparently 6 rebounds in college translates to 5 offensive rebounds a game, and 10 total rebounds a game in the best league in the world
You know how it is, the better the league, the more rebounds you get.. because theres more shots going up. It doesn't matter that the game is way faster, athletic, and more talented [/sarcasm]

Re: 2008 Draft Thread
anybody like the prospect of javale mcgee? 7'6" reach, extremly good at running the floor.. off potential alone, i can see teams taking a chance on javale before hibbert or thabeet.
really tho, we in toronto do possibly need a ty smith/oj mayo slasher, before a big IMO
we don't have that second scoring threat, they are both highly capable of becoming that in the L

Re: 2008 Draft Thread
oj mayo would be absolutely perfect. a very good defender, who can score from anywhere on the court, and can play the point forward role ala brandon roy.
i hope to god colangelo does everything possible to try and get this guy. easier said than done i guess though..
bbut id be very happy with tyler smith or bill walker
as for mcgee, he is very intriguing, i dont think we can afford to pick another project big man right now though..

Re: 2008 Draft Thread
Should really lay off bigs that's over 7-2, 7-3. Not that many that can stay healthy and most of them that tall just sucks.

Even Westbrook would be good, doubt hes available. And who is Anthony Randolph, seems to be popping up on mock drafts.

Re: 2008 Draft Thread
Really keen to see how Thabeet performs.
Budinger is a guy that I'm surprised we haven't started hyping. Chase at the 2 with Moon at the 3 would make for some serious highlights. Star potential? As much as you can really ask from a guy with red hair.

Re: 2008 Draft Thread
I don't think Budinger is coming out next year. I am not too high on him though. He has the athleticism but doesn't have the handles to play shooting guard in the NBA.

Re: 2008 Draft Thread
He is a small forward. I dont see why he should stay though. Once Bayless is gone that team is woefully bad. Jennings wont help in that aspect. I can see the Nets picking him because of his shooting ability (Budinger that is)

Re: 2008 Draft Thread
SF or SG - pretty much the same on this team.
That said, we need ball better ball skills on the wing. Budinger isn't going to help there.
My mind keeps coming back to Batum. He is foreign after all;D
And Hasheem - i can't stop imagining our big line of Jose, Moon, Andrea, Bosh, and Hasheem. ridiculous but irresistibly tantalizing. plus we need a defensive, backup C (with upside).

Re: 2008 Draft Thread
Bill Walker comin up. Something tells me he's not quite good (skilled) enough for BC but ya never know. Looking forward to see if he's much more than Joey.

Re: 2008 Draft Thread
Walker with a good start in this game. Definitely not as tall as you'd like but he's powerful. Showing a pretty good perimeter jumper. 17 points at the half.

Re: 2008 Draft Thread
Beasley's going to be good. Don't really see what the big deal with Mayo is all about.

Re: 2008 Draft Thread
Mayo isnt exerting himself. Some say he isnt trying to pick up an injury, also note that the USC offense doesnt exactly work to his strenghts.
Regarding Walker, why do you guys need him? His game is so much like Joeys'
