    I meant in case we stay put at 26, if we move up, well thats a whole other range of players.

    I'm still hoping we can buy a second round draft pick and get big baby. I would love to give him a look, he could command some minutes right away. But you're right 26 is way too high for him.

    If hitting the jumper is a requirement, why the hell is Bonzi in that lineup?

    A better one:

    James
    Almond
    TMac
    Battier
    Yao

    Bonzi is a good shooter. Bonzi in general is a very good player from 15 feet and in. If he can keep off weight and contribute he is 3rd best player on our team no doubt about it.

    Yes....really, really quiet. Except for that draft camp they organized in Orlando after the regular ORL draft camp and the trip to the Treviso draft camp that both Lindsey and Morey took and that session they attended where John Lucas worked out Sean Williams and the almost daily appearancees of Morey on channel 2 saying they have deals in place to move up or down.

    Other than that, really, really quiet. :D

    EDIT...Oh, TRADE rumors....that generally requires tradeable assets. :p

    Did anyone else here Dave Revson on the NBA Draft preview show say of Almond: ~"And he's got a good nickname: Almond Joy... Almond Joy- he's got nuts!"

    :)

    His post specifically referenced hitting the open jumper. Bonzi is, at best, the 7th best player on our team in that capacity (with Almond).

    Why do you think Almond is better than Affalo? He might be avaliable #26.

    I think all this talk over Almond is almost spinning tires. Its nice, but it doesnt take you anywhere. We have no PF on the roster. The PF position should be a immediate indication on where we need to go in the draft. We have some good shooters , and no rebounders.
