    He reminds me of Shareef Abdur-Rahim.

    Can't believe we didn't find a way to get him. Elite defender that can guard multiple positions.

    Mitchell for sure. After the passing on CP3 and Deron because we had Telfair in 2005, I've never believed in passing on the superior player because they play the same position as another starter.

    This thread doesn't have to be about summer league. I'm sure some posters had other preferences at the time of the draft

    Hey, not fair, you're supposed to be able to honk once with Mrs. HCP and then get to the back of the line.

    The new windows make it so quiet I wasn't sure if anyone heard the first honk.

    I wanted us to draft Bell as well. Where he was picked we could have found a way to get him. I have a feeling he'll be a pain in our ass for years.

    He was the one Ducks player who I think will be a solid NBA contributor.

    Semi is going to be better than Bell because he can shoot and Boston is already impressed with his D and multi position guarding, I really wanted to pick up a 2nd rdr to get him as I did with Bolden, one or both of these guys will end up being a lot better than many of the guys drafted in the 1st rd. I am fine with Caleb, I think a Caleb and Semi draft would have been pretty awesome with Collings as a project

    time will tell, but I am one of the few that is not high on him., I think he is a tweener that will find it difficult in the regular season NBA. He doesnt have the shooting skills f DGreen... one of the few tweeners that can make it in the NBA.
