The alternative to Jay Williams
As the Ming soap Opera continues, there is a REAL possibility that Jay Williams may not be available at #2!
I must admit I would be hard pressed not to take hard looks at LAs and GoldenStates offers of Lamar and the #8 and Jamison and the #3 respectively!
However, it is obvious Jwill wants Chicago and the feeling is more than mutual.
However, IF... J will is not available at #2, where do the Bulls look if they do not deal the pick?
IMHO there are only 3 players worth considering...
1.) Caron Butler. Guy will be a 3 in the NBA but plays much like a 4 in that he has a powerful game. He has an outside shot but can create his own offense off the dribble and is a good post up guy.
The concerns are his realitive lack of size and there are some questions about his defense.
No one, however, questions his desire, tenacity or heart.
Jordan is loving this kid and experts like David Aldridge tout him as the true superstar in this draft.
True, he does play a position (sf) that isn't one of the difficult positions to fill (PG, C) however, Curry is a Center and (supposedly) J Crawford is a point.
Pg. Crawford
Sg. Rose
Sf. Butler
Pf. Chandler
C. Curry
2.) Mike Dunleavy. This will most likely be Kruase's choice. he is a smart player, a decent athlete, a good defender, shooter and passer. He isn't Kobe but he isn't just a Dell Curry clone either.
The Drawbacks are that again he is a small forward and we won't have addressed our primary needs.
3.) Yao Ming. Quite simply the kid can play. He is nimble, he is athletic, and he is .... pretty tall too...
for his rebounds alone he is worth considering.
The problem? We create a log jam in the middle and attempt to make Chandler a 3. And his outside shot (up to this point) doesn't justify that move!
Who does this board think Kruase will take if J will is off the board when we select?
