Drafting another center would show that your basically giving up on Swift, Petro, and Sene, all of which are like 19. If the Sonics dont want them, trade them, but you can't just keep drafting centers until you get the right one..
That's weird. Why does it list the Pacers having a pick outside of the top 10 when the Pacers don't have a pick outside of the top 10? The Pacers only get a draft pick iof it's top 10.

I don't, I don't think ANY GM would if they want to keep their job. Sure, they have Smith and Williams... if you get an opportunity to get a guy like Durant, that's Williams' problem... not Durant's.
I highly doubt the Hawks will have the 2nd pick anyways....they will probably want Acie Law or Joakim Noah IMO...

So, they'd have to get real lucky on May 22nd to keep the pick.
first of all, oden is going back to ohio state. second, durant is 1st pick nd noah is 2nd. law is 3rd pick

Oden is more likely to leave. He's leaving. 2. If Oden and Durant both come out, Oden will go #1. 3. Noah should not be a top 5 pick. The only team you could make a case for is Phoenix. 4. Law will go late lottery, no way in hell does he go top 7, let alone #3. The bigs will go first, as they should.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (austingriz @ Apr 3 2007, 12:14 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Hawks have a pick from the Pacers or something</div> Yes they do, which should be in the 11-12 range. It's very possible that they could land Acie Law there, and that would be a perfect pick.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (GArenas @ Apr 2 2007, 02:49 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Acie Law is a PG who could be selected high. Although Law is more of a combo guard as the hawks need a true PG, Hawks do not have an amazingly high pick this year due to them trading it to pheonix. However they still have a first rounder in the late lottery from Indiana. I think the guy for the Hawks to draft is Law however there are other options. One is Mike Conley JR. although it seems as though he may be staying. Conley's game is similar to Law's.Although it does seem as though Mike Conley JR. is staying in OSU.</div>Law will not be selected THAT high in the lottery.. and yes, Conley is definitely staying at OSU. As I said before, there aren't a lot of top-notch PGs in this draft.

Law will be a pretty good one, but not one that absolutely jumps out at you. This draft is full of good big men though, which is a big reason why it's so valuable.

LMAO at the prospect of Seattle taking another 7 footer in the draft.that would almost make them as bad as the Detroit Lions and drafting WR's
CB4AllstarThats a pretty good preview of the draft. If Kenny Lofton went in where do you think that he would go if he entered. Also these is nothing against you but what do people see in Joakim Noah? All I see him is a ok NBA player who will have a ok career. Though he will go that high I don't think he should go that high.

They would take either Julian Wright or Al Horford in that situation. - Al Horford should not slip down to 7. - Hasheem Thabeet over Spencer Hawes?..... Hasheem Thabeet in the lottery period? - I'm not so sure Sacramento would take a swingman. - Thaddeus Young can't be picked twice. - Corey Brewer should be in the lottery, probably Roy Hibbert as well.
I'd take Hibbert over Spencer.Spencer = big white guy who can score in college.and that usually = D-U-D in the NBA unless you're from europe. (although not always true)Just ask Rafael Araujo (2004 #8), Darko Millic (2003 #2), Chris Kaman (2003 #6), Nick Collison (2003 #12), Nikoloz Tskitshvili (2002 #5), Chris Mihm (2000 #7), Joel Przybilla (2000 #9), Frederick Weis (1999 #15)<-- couldn't leave him out!, Raef Lafrenz (1998 #3) and Bryant Reeves and Todd McCullough <-- like I spelled that correctly!here's the good big white men drafted early in those years;Dirk Diggler (1999 #9), Pau Gasol (2001 #3), Andris Biedren (2004 #11) <-- well starting to come around, Andrew Bogut (2005 #1) <-- jury is still out actually.So, that's 4 whole good big white players and only 1 player who played in college that have been drafted early in the draft. Any others have been sleeper/surprises.I ain't getting my hopes up with Hawes.Hibbert will be the better pro IMO.

I ain't getting my hopes up with Hawes. Hibbert will be the better pro IMO.</div> First off, I am a huge Georgetown fan and I love Roy Hibbert. Now that I've gotten that out of the way: Hawes is so much more than a "white guy who can score in college." Give me a break, have you ever seen him play? He's much more mobile than Hibbert, he can score in the post as well as shoot the ball from the outside, he's a great passer for a center, he can block shots, he has a soft touch, and he's decent on the glass. Hibbert is a bit sluggish, he needs to improve his conditioning. Hibbert is going to be a pretty good player, I agree with that and I hope he has a great career, but he doesn't have the natural skills that Hawes has. Hawes is a more talented Brad Miller, I think Hibbert will be very similar to Zydrunas Ilgauskas (without a consisten 16 foot jumper, that is). Yet we disagree on another thing.
Spencer Hawes is a hell of a player, you obviously know nothing about him...or else you wouldn't be making thos stupid comments.
