Following potential 2013 draftees

[d@!!0n0rcutt]

Guys.. Guys!!

We really need to grab one of these 2-way players from this draft. (Solid defensive player, athletic, 3pt shooter). There are plenty to choose from and they are a game changer and an integral part of the team nowadays IMO. And if we notice the 3 players Hotttnickkk named are all American.

Look at this Spurs game. Parker was quite. Ginobili was quiet. Duncan was just solid, but quiet.

It was Green, Leonard and Neal that carried the team VS the Heats.


The #21 pick is the best place to grab one of these guys. It's hard to see where we can go wrong.

Having said that I don't know if the soft euros have that killer instinct, I am one from the opinion that American players play more tough defense and hit the 3 when pressure is on, so no soft euros if that's what we are looking for, it's just the soccer euro mentality, I think.

Very good. Rep'd.

Obviously I don't agree with everything, but overall a really good write-up. Thanks.

?? I never said anything about drafting a soft euro??

BTW, I do think Larkin could work out okay on a team that plays up-tempo. Still not ideal on the defensive end.

Just wonder if Bullock has enough upside though...

He doesn't. He's the player Locke described. Does most everything well and ready to play.. but not much room for improvement, imo.

Why isn't Schroeder on your 'upside' list?

That's a shocking omission.

Not sure if you are serious.

He'll suck.

I think Bullock is solid. The thing I like most is he comes across as mature and mentally tough (something Leonard, Green, Neal all have). Not to mention Bowen.

Snell is OK... not sure about the mental side though, he seems a bit "off".

KCP might not be available at #21... not sure about the mental side, he seems a bit "soft".

Rice Jnr/Hardaway Jnr/Franklin/Crabbe, not sure they are solid enough with 3pt.


I think we've got to grab Bullock at #21.

I don't like Bullock's lack of ability to put the ball on the floor. He's a spot-up guy. Whereas Rice Jr. and Hardaway Jr. can make plays on the ball as well as hit from range.

He doesn't have physical upside..

But I do believe he has tremendous mental upside.

I've had enough of those guys, I'd rather see Schroder/McCollum PnR with Favors/Kanter, then kick it out for a 40% 3pt shooter.

I've almost forgotten what we were talking about, lol. In the 20's.. the wings I like are Ledo, Bullock, Franklin, Rice, probably forgetting a couple..

French and Spanish do. The occasional Turkish too.

This ain't a spelling bee.

Players who are potential starters.

I was being nice.

Amen... need floor spreaders so Burks can penetrate and our bigs can operate.

Oh I know bro I wasn't saying you said that just warning people before they start spouting off players they like for that position because I like the thinking that we do need one or two of these players out of this draft if we can't trade up to get McCollum. One wing that can do all you descrided and a 3rd big that can play 25+ minutes and if we can somehow get McCollum because I would prefer a vet that can play behind Favors and Kanter and get young wing in this draft.
