I think Kemba is a top 10 pick. Derrick Williams is 6'9 and I doubt he'll last to #14. I'm intrigued by Brandon Knight...but we already have Lowry and Dragic.
Tristan Thompson from UT would be a great addition if he declares. He would be a legit post defender from day one. Of course drafting him would mean getting rid of the some of the current logjam at PF. I wouldn't mind the C from Oakland either, Benson.
What about both Morris brothers from Kansas? They both should be going in the first round near where our picks line up...
My dream scenerio is.. trade scola/picks/Bud to move up and draft Harrison Barnes Then get Deandre/Tyson Chandler in FA and... Lowry/Dragic Martin/Lee Barnes/Twill? Patterson/Chuck/Hill Chandler/Miller? That line-up=straight beast mode!
a) Tristan supposedly hired an agent b) No way in hell on Singler in the 1st round c) I'm anti Harrison Barnes.. not that I think he'll be a bad player/pick. Just not a huge fan. Would prefer Knight, Kemba, etc. if going guard
14th pick...if memphis would lose to the top teams i would of had more hope, but they just keep winning, even without rudy gay...
We have the assets to trade up this year. Morey has tried to do that every year. With the way everyone is saying this is a weak draft, I think this is the year Morey is able to get into the top 10, maybe top 5.
We might even get 12-13th pick. Then we can package with T-Will/Hill/Bud and move up to top 10 maybe.
if it was me ill pick Donatas Motiejunas hes a center dat has a big risk but i dont see no other choice n aldelman is gonna get replaced by jack sigma
It doesn't matter either way. This draft is going to be a crap shoot anyway. This rebuilding project has to be a multi-year plan.
Deandre is a poor defender, very questionable basketball IQ and work ethic, a vastly overrated player...
You guys need size and quickness, in my opinion. Jan Vesely and Donatas Motiejunas. You guys need also perimeter defense, but Kevin Martin is a problem in that regard. Yall need to stay away from Kemba and Jimmer. You already have that guy in Kyle.
For those wanting Singler, have you ever watched him play? I am from Maryland and follow ACC every season. Singler was bad this season shooting the ball. I believe in ACC play, he shot it like 39% and 29% for 3's. Those aren't the numbers you want from your starting 3. He struggles against players that are physical or about his height. DO NOT WANT.
we don't have the resources to evaluate talent that Morey does, all of this speculation is pointless Doesn't matter who we get, they will be great, because our front office is great at making picks.
