    Just watched the UCLA game. I really like Shabazz. May not have the best outside shot right now, but he has a lot of intangibles. Our pick (Yeah if we get it) plus Batum to move up to get him? Maybe I just have march madness, but I would do it. I can't see him being a bust.

    Dude is intense. We need that

    I haven't really watched him play.. Anyone else say they'd do our pick and Batum for him?

    Green is my choice for a guard & Mike Muscala (Bucknell) is my choice for a big for the second round.

    He kind of reminds me of a smaller version of Lebron in the way he finds a lot of different ways to score. Very strong for his size. SF all the way. He just looks like a winner to me. Better potential than Kidd-Gilchrist IMO. Wasn't sold on him earlier in the season. But I am now.

    And no I am not saying he will be as good as Lebron.

    Rather have Porter than Shabazz. And Oladipo.

    Not that it matters; none of them will be available to us.

    kind of un-possible for CHA to get #12. If Oladipo somehow makes it to #10, there should be a war going on to get him.

    And a NOH front line of Anthony Davis and Nerlens Noel would be, uh, formidable defensively.

    Yeah, Charlotte can't get 12, and I believe if the Lakers are in the playoffs, then Cleveland gets the rights to swap to their pick, so they'd have 16, PHX would have Miami's pick.

    I haven't seen this discussed, do you think Olynyk would be a good fit with Aldridge?

    this thread needs to heat up as our chance of keeping the pick (12) is looking better and better

    I haven't checked lately. Where are we at? If the season ended today would we get our pick?

    Actually we are one full game behind Dallas. So currently we are soley 12th. And the Mavs are leading the season head-to-head matchup 2-1, with one game to go in April between these two teams, which may or may not end up being crucial as a tiebreaker when it's all said and done.

    Zeller and Oladipo's stocks are really trending in completely opposite directions right now, and this Sweet 16 game is a great example of why. Zeller's getting outhustled, out rebounded, and can't compete against the more athletic Syracuse defenders. Oladipo, on the other hand, needs to be considered in the conversation for that #1 pick.
