    We wouldn't have minutes or either of these cats on our team.

    Bazz and Zeller look to be out of our draft range at this point but looking more mid first round, Ben McLemore and Marcus Smart are two guards that are intriguing.

    Especially Smart. Can handle and play pg in spurts, score and play great D. Seems like a perfect fit with Lillard and Matthews.

    Not so sure now we'll even have a pick next year. Last season, we won the equivalent of 35 games, and that put is in the #11 spot.

    Our draft pick is top 12 protected this year, and we could easily fall to #13.

    It occurs to me that one nice thing about having 5 solid starters and no good bench players is that we should have no notion of drafting for "need", because we need someone everywhere! :)

    Good shit. We should be able to keep that pick this year, and we probably won't need it the year after when we're in the playoffs.

    Outside McAdoo, Chad Ford hates this draft.

    Sounds like the same ol' shit we hear almost every year... everybody predicts the upcoming draft is going to suck in November/December, then March rolls around and they completely change their tune.

    I've always liked McAdoo's game. Kind of a hybrid 4. Reminds me of James Worthy a little bit.

    Zeller blocking the shit out of folks right now. He'll be the #1 pick. Holy shit, what a put back dunk. Fuck Shabazz and Noel, Zeller's better than both.

    Indiana's got a great team. Ollidipo can ball, too.
