Starting to hope for Hassan Whiteside

Morey has always made draft moves that have left fans scratching their heads. I doubt this draft will be any different. Only way he'd draft what everyone expects is if we get far higher in this draft.

A couple of points: 1) Yao is a big question mark, if not in the immediate future than definitely in the next few years considering age. 2) Les' green light. 3) Morey reiterating on many occasions on the plethora of talented players the team has in order to score a S&T. That means immediate impact players, ergo, a FA.

Don't get attached to no. 14. A good part of me thinks he'll try and pull off another Donte Greene move because of the FA market. I think it's also very possible that he trades down to get a FA. That's what I'd do, but than again, they don't pay me the big bucks to be a GM.

 

Koba nice post, but how do you trade down to get a free agent?

 

I wonder how Whiteside, Alabi, Sanders, Aldrich, Orton and Udoh compare to Marcin Gortat who was Morey's 1st free agent target last offseason?

 

First of all, Rudy Gay came out after his SOPHOMORE year.

Second, we SHALL see. We SHALL see.

Seriously, though, it really doesn't matter what he does. The fact is, you can't use his "track record" in the first round as a basis for any credible prediction of what he'll do this Thursday. That's all I'm saying.

 

He looks like Garnett when he was 19 coming out of high school.

 

You got me there but u must admit chucks shooting touch was quite improved over last season[prob cause yao was out And Stromile and Eddie were just plain head cases. RIP Eddie. Truth be told I will be happy with whatever DM does but I really think we need a mean sob defender in the middle. Someone who isnt afraid to foul kobe like they did in the old days suspension be damned.

 

No clue, just throwing stuff out there but I stick by the Greene move :grin: :grin:

 

Hassan could go in the second round, anyone think we will try to buy a pick to get him?

 

I think that is very possible. Morey will not move up into the first round for him, but he always buys early 2nd rounders

 

doubtful. There are some red flags with this guy.

 

It wouldn't be a bad idea.

 

I hope we try to buy one for him assuming he falls to round 2.

 

Time to buy a pick.

 

Jason Freidman said its doubtful they'll go for him. Shatter dreams

 

There's got to be a reason why Whiteside is dropping this much.

Like DeJuan Blair with his knees, from last years draft.

 

And that drop was proven to be for good reason!

 

Blair played well

 

Exactly.

Makes me think there is something wrong with Whiteside, physical or otherwise.

 

He has dropped to the second round now.

 

I guess sarcasm isn't picked up on a first post. My bad.
