Who's going to slip the furthest...

I thought Batum looked good at the 2 this year.

 

I'm still not sold on him, and the contract he's likely to get makes him less appealing to me. If we could get a decent two at 11 and MKG at 6, I'd trade Batum for some frontcourt help or another high draft pick for next summer. At least keep our options open. MKG makes Batum expendable imo.

 

Batum is more of a SG in the Rip Hamilton mold. I would prefer someone who attacks the basket a little better at the 2. But teamed up with a PG who attacks the basket and a MKG..... it could work.

 

Are either of the big white stiffs going to the green room?

 

They both are

 

Then I pick Zeller

 

Hamilton was a key player on Championship team.

 

I think Rivers is going to be the most volatile of the potential lotto guys. Opinions seem to range from GMs love him to GMs hate him. Unless there's a team that is in love with him between 8 and 14 it will be interesting to see who really likes him and who doesn't so much.

 

Batum is nothing like Rip Hamilton. Rip was one of the best mid range shooters in the game.

How stupid was Sullinger for not declaring last year? He probly woulda went #2 overall, now he's not even invited to the green room.

 

Wouldn't the exact same red flags Dr's are finding this year have been there last year? It's not like this suddenly just came on or anything

 

Sullinger

 

I don't believe he was invited

 

That list of Green Room invitees is so small, I don't see anyone slipping far. Ross seems to have only potential to slip, but he may have some sort of promise if invited.

Of non-invitees, Perry Jones III could drop out of the lottery IMHO.

 

Oh ya. You know I was all over his jock until a day ago when i heard he only averaged 14 ppg in high school. Someone with that talent should be ashamed. To put it in perspective, I averaged slightly over 12 ppg in high school, and I was nowhere near college level talent


I think PJ III will either end up on a shitty team that doesn't draft well, or in the 20's

 

PJIII could be a steal with a late-teens pick. Kind of a Travis Outlaw kind of pick, with a higher ceiling.

 

agree

 

With our complete lack of talent on this team outside of Aldridge and Batum, I'd say try to steal some picks later in the draft and go for guys with a high risk/high reward ceiling.

 

I think you have to if you're a team like Portland

 

Yeah, Sullinger has already done his slipping. Less than a month ago, draftexpress still had him going top 6. Now they have him at 19. Anyone know if he's hired an agent? If not, he should just go back to Ohio State for another year. He'll once again put up big numbers, and it's not like he's going to get any shorter. With another big season, and a much weaker draft class, he could easily be back in the top 10, maybe even top 5, in next year's draft.
