    Am I the only one who believe no one in this year's draft is noticeably better than those two?

    I know we need a center. But I'm think said center should actually be better than our current duo of crappy ones. And I can't really find them in this draft that didn't go in the top 5.

    Both of the latter have higher IQ and are willing to play/train hard.

    Jonas will be a star, not sure about Kanter.

    On the other hand we will forget about Hill and Thabeet will mostly be the biggest bust in the history of the NBA...

    I am always rooting for the small guys, but in this case I just don't see Thabeet turning around quickly...I hope I'm wrong

    I haven't given up on Hill and I never expected anything of Thabeet so his stock can only rise.

    Is Hill even a Center? He seems to play much better at PF.

    People just tend to overrate the current draft.

    Thabeet the prospect would have been drafted way before Biyombo. Hell, he still could have been the first C taken.

    Not just this year; it's a long-term trend.

    They really don't make true centers any more.
