this wouldn't be great defensively either. charlie v cannot play sf consistently because he doesn't have the quickness to guard 3s every game. bogut has trouble with the quicker 4s but i like this better than the first.

my depth chart if i get a top pick:
mo/bell
redd/mo
patterson/simmons
bogut/charlie
oden/bogut

i think that this lineup, if coach k uses it correctly through bogut, would be great. and if he sticks to his "if you don't play defense, you'll be benched" policy, we could be a contender.
i just hate how stotts has misused bogut. i think he's gonna be great.

however, if we don't get a top 2 or so pick, i wouldn't be opposed to grabbing conley if he declares and just let mo walk or S&T him.

Simmons would start over Patterson

if he's completely rehabbed, sure.

I would assume so considering it would be a total year

well another loss tonight, and now Redd is shut down for the last 6 games. Looks like losing out is very likely now.

Well, with ATL's win tonight we've got 3rd place locked up regardless if we win or lose against CLE tomorrow. Now all we need is the lottery to go our way!

beef · 04-17-2007, 08:49 PM

hopefully this is the last time we're in this "great" of a draft position for a while. buuuut i'll still be praying for a top 2 pick :D

Who would you guys want to get if we (heaven forbid) don't get a top 2 pick?

Obviously it will all depend on our position, but who wouldn't you mind getting as a consolation prize assuming Durant and Oden are both gone?

Someone I wouldn't mind at all seeing the Bucks grab is Corey Brewer. I think he could fill out our roster perfectly. He really showed me a lot in this most recent championship run.

So who would you guys want?

Al Horford, Julian Wright, Brandon Wright

Mwkick · 04-24-2007, 10:07 PM

They would all be project players. The talent drops off so much after those 2. It would be interesting. I say trade the pick. You have the youth and the cap space to sign someone big.
I don't like any of the Florida guys other than Horford. Jimmy Kimmel said it all about Noah, "Joakim Noah has done a lot for women's basketball." And I just don't know where Brewer would play. He's not that big.
Enough rambling, if they keep the pick, draft Horford or bring in some athleticism with Brandon Wright...

Brewer can be a solid NBA player at 6'8" with long arms and a good defender, but wouldn't be a good choice at 3 or so. I like Wright after the Big 2

Mwkick · 04-24-2007, 10:32 PM

Brewer is the second coming of Tayshaun Prince. He'll have to fit in the right system...

The draft lottery is tomorrow, everybody get their good luck charms ready!

I'm seriously going to ruin a pair of shorts if we get a top 2 pick. Durant... oh how I love you Durant...

Why would we take Oden unless we got the #2 and the #1 took Durant? Bogut might never be a superstar but he's solid at center and still improving. Durant would fill our biggest need and just..be..awesome.

Either one would be amazing! I think if we got Oden, Bogut could probably make the transition to PF. I know he played there as a rookie, and even though he struggled some, I think he has the skill set to play there. And Charlie V. may be better suited at SF than PF. This would give us a very large lineup and significantly upgrade our defense.

On the flip side, Durant would be a huge scoring threat to partner up with Redd and would give us an extremely potent offense. Durant is also a pretty decent defender and would help us out somewhat with our biggest weakness, though not nearly as significantly as Oden.

Either way I'd be extremely happy.

Yeah I'd rather have oden and shift Bogut and Charlie down a spot.

Bogut plays better at his natural position of a 5 but it would be beneficial for Charlie V to play 3 b/c, like Bogut, I think thats his more natural position
