Barton is going to go in the 1st round..... Jenkins may slip to the 2nd, probably at the top of the 2nd, I would not mind him though, real good shooter and POR could use better...more consistent shooters...so he is worth a look.... Another big might be good to look at a guy like Sacre or Sims...Obviously, if O'Quinn was there he would be my 1st choice... Johnson-Odom could be an off the bench gunner\scorer....
As our resident European player expert, can you tell me anything about Tornike Shengelia, Kostas Papanikolaou, Furkan Aldemir, Tomas Satoransky, or Leon Radosevic?
If Miles Plumlee is around at #40 I'd hope we'd scoop him up. 6'11.75", 252 pounds with a 40.5" max vert and superb lateral quickness for a big. Myers Leonard without the upside.
I'm nobody's expert, because I only have access to what you do - videos on YouTube and the various league sites (like ACB.com). I only know anything about Papanikolaou and Satoransky. The first one, I say draft him, because his type of player (smart, tough, good rebounder, good three point shooter, effective passer, low usage rate) has had success in the league before (I'm thinking in particular of pre-injury Garbajosa, and maybe Jonas Jerebko and possibly even young Viktor Khryapa). He's a rich man's Brian Cardinal. Except I doubt Cardinal could ever do this: [video=youtube;uDcKlLW5E_Y]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDcKlLW5E_Y[/video] He was also huge in Olympiacos's amazing Euroleague-and-Greek League winning season, despite being so young. I guarantee that he would be a solid contributor. The only worry is that he wouldn't ever come over, as Greeks rarely do. Satoransky I'm much less keen on. He's a big PG, with some athleticism (he can almost fly, for a white guy): [video=youtube;TebeBXEF8YY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TebeBXEF8YY[/video] BUT: those kind of players have NOT succeeded. Think Zoran Planinic. He's a poor man's Nando De Colo, and I'm no fan of his, either. (Although De Colo is the answer to: "what player has been a teammate of both Victor Claver and Nicolas Batum?", so somebody needs to ask him to compare them.)
Cash from the other Billionaire owner http://tracking.si.com/2012/06/29/blazers-nets-trade-tyshawn-taylor/ It makes "sense" if you look at it, Tyshawn Taylor is from Hoboken N.J., sounds like a carryover from the Wallace trade
