What would you do?

  1. Draft at #1 (Probably Fultz or Ball)

    66.7%
  2. Trade Pick for veteran(s)

    23.1%
  3. Trade down for non-PG rookie

    10.3%

    That's cool--we define terms differently, so we come to different conclusions. Nothing wrong with that at all. :cheers:

    It's not racism, it's history. Just like you and I both know the fastest sprinters are normally black. Doesn't mean a white guy won't be as fast some day. But I'll take my chances on the black sprinter.

    As for Thomas, he's a good guard. Nothing special. My point is, if Thomas is a pretty good pro, and that's it. I'd take my chances that a drafted player may turn out to be more than that, like the players I mentioned

    Not sure how or why we got on race

    I'm talking about your stupid reason for us not drafting that kid. He's gonna be a stud. He's NOTHING like Butters. It's only because of his skin tone when his whole skill set is a perfect fit for our team.

    I think he's really better than that....he'd be a great 6 man sparkplug player for a team if he would do that.

    No, @dviss1 YOU watch the video. He says he's gonna be like Pau Gasol in the post!!!!!

    I think he was talking about Pau in his prime on the offensive end, not Pau in his 40s on the defensive end, but I can't be sure :)

    p.s. I don't care how he was or how he was projected. I think we're stuck with him for another year because of his contract. I also think it's possible (though unlikely) he gets some confidence and improves quite a bit.

    I don't give a damn about the last one. I'm more concerned with the next one.

    I didn't bow out at all. You're the one concerned with history. I'm not. I truly dgaf about when George Mikan and Bill Walton were good. That matters to you but not me. All that matters to me is that Collins is good NOW and played well against top competition in the tourney.

    Brook Lopez counts at least half.....

    But really, the only last WABC that could have been claimed a "stud" was our very own Chris Kaman. He was an all star in 2010. I wouldnt call him a stud for his career though. I can't say I would be disappointed if Collins had a Kamanesque career and we somehow got him at 15 though.
