OK if you say so. And I guess you extend that to all posters that hate on Leonard are ignorant (which is what I took issue with) Maybe in another 6 years you can look back and reflect how calling posters ignorant for not agreeing with you was . . . well ignorant.
I hope Leonard works out... but how many "project centers with athleticism" have worked out in the NBA?
David Aldridge @daldridgetnt The Grizz will take Washington's Tony Wroten at 25, and the Pacers will take Duke's Miles Plumlee, per sources
Plumlee is going next. I'd go crazy if we can buy a pick and get PJ3 and then get Crowder in the 2nd round. Damn that'd be awesome.
PJ III might slip to the second round. If I'm Olshey, I'm gunning for 31. No guaranteed contract for Jones?! Hell yea.
31st pick is more valuable than the 3-4 picks before it for that reason. It's also great for drafting Euro's because you can pay them closer to their true value (MLE, etc.) rather than being stuck on rookie salary scale. If you want PJIII you get him in the first round, still a pretty small commitment financially.
They were looking to sell off the pick or get an Euro-stash before the draft...I'm still holding out hope that we can buy Wroten up.
