    I wish BasX would have picked a player, this sucks.

    I think he's an excellent player.

    I'm comparing him to -say - Kevin Durant, and I think he doesn't come out so well.
    </div>

    Why not? One has spectacular defense with pretty good (and largely untapped) offense, and the other has spectacular offense with apparently decent (and improving) defense.
    </div>

    I think we've seen the ceiling for Prince. Let's be realistic about the difference between these players.

    Prince doesn't have anywhere near the skills or the potential of Durant. Not even close. These are not comparable players. Would you trade Durant for Prince? C'mon.
    </div>

    Hmm- I realize I'm in the (tiny, tiny) minority here, but I've always thought Prince has terrific offensive potential. I've always wanted the Pistons to feature him more- I may be remembering this wrong, but when Rip was out early last year, he exploded, then Rip came back and he found his once-again subdued place in the offense. I can't really compare them fairly, though, since I've seen Durant far far less (if at all?) And I didn't realize he was 28- I also thought he was about 25.

    I also aways thought Prince was younger. I thought he was 25.

    Before you leave, count how many picks there are until your 4th rounder.

    Make your list that long and include one or two extra just in case.

    Good. Pick.

    That was a lame-o move, but at least you aren't saddled with a player you don't want.

    Went with Ray Allen, figured a good shooter would fill nicely with Duncan

    I'll give you Al Jefferson, Theo Ratliff, Ryan Gomes, Gerald Green and Bassy Telfair.

    And a pick.

    Since I'm stuck with KG, I figured I'd pair another crazy dude with him.
