    I am not convinced he would be the best talent on the board even if he was there at #21....

    BREAKING: I was told by a trusted league source today at NBA Draft media day that Bismack Biyombo has a medical red flag with his back.

    Fine then, but he does one thing at an elite level -- rebounding -- that translates almost directly to the next level. That trumps a helluva lot of the dross that seems to compose most of the draft after the top 7.

    Andy Katz is saying that GS really wants Jimmer with their pick. That has to mean either Ellis, or Curry must go, right?

    Likely a smokescreen.

    Jimmer and Curry would be devastating if they got even a semblance of a low-post threat that could defend a bit.

    He wouldn't stay on the floor for very long if you played those sieves together.

    Devestatingly bad on defense? Yes I agree ... Even if they had a goalie type center he'd foul out in 10 minutes with all of the free trips into the lane opposing guards would get.

    how many times did we foul Tyson Chandler out against Jason Kidd, Jason Terry and JJ Barea?

    If they had been wearing the scarlet and black, I can guarantee he would have fouled out a helluva lot more than he did.

    Re: NBA Draft Thread Vol. 2

    Actually Kidd plays great help defense and understands how to funnel players in the zone that Dwayne Casey had them running, and even though neither Barea nor Terry are great defenders they at least give effort in that area and can be "pests" ... Curry doesn't try on D and Jimmer never did either at BYU and both are under 6'2". How do you think that's going to work out?

    ht
    so you think that Terry and Barea (both also 6'2" and under and "defensively questioned" throughout their careers) can be taught to give enough effort in Casey's system (granting that it's a good one), but there's no hope for Jimmer and Curry? I'm betting that if we had this question a year or two ago, you wouldn't have said that Terry/Barea were anything but horrible defensively.
