    I have said it again and again but I will repeat it that Harkless should play more (not less). Same goes with Vonleh and Alexander but at least Vonleh might be forcing the issue.

    his name sounds like the TBS censor going crazy watching Smokey and the Bandit.

    Yeah we can trade the player after we pick him. But I am not so sure of your examples. Can we trade Kaman/Hendo at that point since they are both free agents?

    And this is why it's important that we retain our pick this year - it gives us options.

    GPII has moved up a lot. It doesn't hurt he has been on the Top-10 a couple of times.

    nbadraft.net and draftexpress are still in huge disagreement - and they probably will be for a while.

    This dude looks like the next Draymond Green, DeMarre Carroll, Jimmy Butler type. Projected at the end of the 1st, and 3 and D, Jack of all trade guys are usually drafted to low (much like those 3)

    I know he's not going to get drafted, but every time I watch Kentucky, I enjoy what I see out of Alex Poythress. I would love to see us being him in this summer as a UFA to compete for a spot as our third SF.

    Ben Simmons was benched due to an academic issue apparently.

    Further highlights how stupid the minimum 1 yr college rule is. You think these guys give a shit about going to class and doing homework? It's all a farce anyway when they're about to come into millions in 6 months. The rule was instilled to prevent stupidity from GMs like John Nash (drafted HSers in 03, 04, 05, 06 in the first round).

    Similar to the Stepien rule where you can trade your draft pick 2 straight years maybe they can remove the 1 and done rule and make it so teams can't draft high school players 2 straight years. Just one option of many but I don't think there are too many stupid GMs left that would do what he did again anyways.

    Agree. I would like to see Harkless showcase more of his talent this season.

    As for Vonleh, he's a quality defender coming along nicely in Stotts' system. Dare I say it, PF of the future!
