Morey loves Turkey now. He shoulda loved Turkey THEN. How everyone criticized Morey big for drafting Joey Dorsey and skipping DeAndre Jordan Omer Asik was the NEXT pick after DeAndre Jordan... Maybe sometimes drafting on need, and we've always needed size and length, is the way to go
Excellent point. And we just passed on Zeller! And if we had lost seven more games last year, we could have been in position to draft Meyers.
Plumlee might've been the C to take. I've got a feeling by mid-season fans will be griping over Morey taking White over him.
Kwame Brown. Darko Milicic. Michael Olowokandi. Hasheem Thabeet. Jonathan Bender. Benoit Benjamin. Eric Montross. Uwe Blab. LaRue Martin. Chris Washburn. Yinka Dare. Acie Earl.
Right. Morey went with one of those. Instead of a: Ben Wallace Andrew Bynum Mark Eaton Vlade Divac Brad Miller Theo Ratliff Sam Dalembert Brenden Haywood etc I know the Saer Sene / Todd Fuller types are dumb reaches. There's plenty bust potential in drafting bigs. Its why I highlighted "SOMETIMES" in my post. Becaus its a 2ND ROUND risk, not a 1st round gamble. Sadly, Benoit Benjamin would a type 5 center in today's game. (Larue Martin and Ann-Margaret?)
Hell no and I hope Morey strikes out on all deals and we can start developing young guns and he will be fired for not making anything happen!
I have full trust in Morey on this one. They must have done many researches and analyses on him. If they offer 8M, they must like him very much. Besides, if they offer 5M, Chicago will match it without a doubt.
The second-year player played under 15 minutes per game last year, but averaged 3.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 0.5 steals and 1.0 blocks. $8M per for that?
More should've scrapped the PF draft theory in favor of drafting three centers, at least then you get three guys on rookie contracts or even stick with Lamb at 12 then going Zeller and Melo with the next picks. I can almost guarantee one of Zeller or Melo will be atleast as good as Asik.
