Beal or Kidd-Gilchrist?

  1. I find Bradley most a-Beal-ing

  2. There's no stupid pun that works with Kidd-Gilchrist, but I'd take him anyway

    Suppose you had to pick between them (say Robinson is not available), who would you take?

    MKG. For many of the reasons I've delineated in about 50 posts in the last week. ;)

    Can't imagine how anyone could pick MKG over Beal. Doesn't mean they are wrong though

    Poll option stupid pun suggestion--"Michael would make me happy as a Kidd on GilChrist-mas".

    That said, I'd take a chance on Beal.

    Not an easy decision for me. Yes we need everything that Beal provides, or at least what we think he brings in terms of his scoring ability.

    But there is that feeling you get when you watch MKG that says DO NOT pass on this guy. He just seems to have all the intagibles to be a leader and a winner. But to back it up on the court he needs to be able to hit a wide open shot to keep the defense honest. And I think he will.

    My choice would be MKG. I just hope another SG will be there at 11.

    B/c Beal's ceiling is a smaller, 90% Ray Allen. If for some reason he's not shooting like Ray, then he isn't bringing a ton to the table. Even if MKG never, ever improves on his jumper, he still is one of the better-passing forwards in basketball, elite in his D and motor and a big-time rebounder/garbageman. His FLOOR is probably Gerald Wallace.
