    That's like saying Corey Brewer is the same height as Chuck Hayes, so let's stick him on the centers.

    It's a rather tedious nickname for Dion Waiters.

    Let's not get carried away watching Golden State and think we can be like them by having two good backcourt shooters. For one thing, they have probably the two BEST shooters in the league, and for another Klay Thompson is big, and for a third, they have Bogut and Fezeli ready to block shots when you beat those two off the dribble. Having a backcourt of Lillard and McCollum would be more like the Rockets with Steve Francis and Cuttino Mobley. Only without the athleticism. At best it would be the Bucks with Jennings and Ellis.

    So then don't start him. Bring him off the bench. But if he is the best player on the board when we pick, I would not pass on him unless the player we do pick is pretty damn good as well.

    But we do need another elite scorer on this team. Is he one? I don't know much about him, but if he is he should be considered IMO.

    Fair enough - you can't really go wrong with the #10. Unless he's Nolan Smith and Dieng is Kenneth Faried...

    Something to do with carrying soup to your table, as waiters do.

    I wish Lillard or McCollum, preferably both, were elite defenders so we could bundle them in the backcourt. They both can flat out stroke it.

    Did we start that name here at S2? I don't see anything else about it online.

    If he's all that, he'll be long gone by #10.

    In this thinking then we should definitely trade the 10th pick because a player who is all that won't be around that long.
