A guy with his defensive instincts is as rare as an NBA ready 7 ft player....I think with 3 first round picks we should value 1 defensive minded player...Bell coming off the bench for Vonleh would work for me...Nurk and Vonleh...Bell and Ed Davis off the bench...I'm banking on Ed coming back healed...his contract is bench friendly as is Aminu's
We need a needle moving SF starting....a Paul George type guy...Chief would be a better 6 man than Crabbe on both sides of the court at a fraction of the cost. If we can dump Crabbe and Leonard....keep Turner, Davis and Aminu...we'll upgrade the bench big time...just need a needle moving SF to counter the Lebrons of the league and contend
Leonard's the fat ginger kid with the runny nose and the Hello Kitty T-Shirt playing Dodgeball. Afraid we are stuck with him. Should be able to get something for Crabbe though. A shooter like that will always have some kind of value.
That'd be 3 of 4 big men that can't shoot well outside of 1 foot, and 3 of 4 big men that are well below average offensively. Can't say I want that.
Bleecher report mock draft has #15 T.J.Leaf Forward UCLA #20 O.J Anunoby Forward Indiana and #26 Ike Anigboyu Center UCLA.
I doubt TJ Leaf goes that high. Most of the mock drafts I have seen had him in 20s. On the other hand I can also not see Anunoby lasting until no. 20, or Ike until 26.
TJ is all over the place. NBAdraft.net has him at 15 too. I would like to get Justin Jackson at 15 but I can't say I would be too disappointed with getting Leaf. I think the kid has a high ceiling. not an elite athlete but I think he would be a great compliment next to Nurk. Too bigs with above average passing skills. I understand wanting to get an elite defender instead with our pick, but are there any that have enough offense in order to stay on the floor?
I would think about giving him a try if he goes undrafted, but no way would I actually use a draft pick on him, not even a 2nd.
