I think Wolters is a great athlete--size, skill, body control, decision making. It all factors in.
2013 Chicago Combine May 15-19
- Thread starter mellow
- Start date
Pierre Jackson? He's 5'9"
Nah, we've always known he's got that in him. It's the shooting that's got everyone scared shetless.
Is he Ronbrew bad or what? Where we at Box? Seems wrong to me he was at 5th earlier.
Come on, Christian, kids have access too bro,

Exactly.
And for folks wanting to compare him to Rondo... HUH?
Rondo is the exception.... Not the rule... Rondo is one super special player. I'm not sure many have ever been as unique as he is in the entire history of this league. He has got the instincts and "it" factor that just makes him truly one of the "freakiest" athletes I've seen in the NBA. Wasn't it a year or two ago when he had like 20 pts, 15 pts, and 15 rbs against the Heat?
MCW screams bust to me. He might just be another Shaun Livingston. If that's the case... Meh, I'll pass.
In fact, the more and more I look at this draft, I'd rather have us use the 14 pick on a big. Get me some Jeff Withey to come in and play like Asik for 20 mins per game. Get a few blocks, jam a few missed jumpers from our guards, and grab a few boards. Good solid quality big. Or Gonzaga's Luis Scola. Again, solid big. We gotta maintain a big and deep front line. Moving Kanter and Favors into the starting lineup means we need some backups.
Or invest in the project: Greek Moses.
I don't think anyone can really call Livingston a bust. No one knows what he could have become had he not had that freak injury.
I dunno, I wouldn't go that far...
He's as bad as Rubio shooting wise that's for sure. Plus he's able to finish at the rim, so at least in a pick and roll he can roll more effectively.
Can he improve his shooting? The mechanics is there... I think with Stephen Curry blowing up, everyone's so cared of a player who can't shoot.. but I tend to think he could improve.
- Collison hasn't exactly set the team on fire this season.. He's been a bit disappointing in fact. He was really brought in as a stop gap this year when they couldn't get DWill last Summer.
- Beaubois is hardly a starting PG caliber in this league.
Yes they need players in almost every position, but as Utah found out, a franchise PG is hard to get, even in the FA.

You do realize that Schroe is still very raw and will not be ready to contribute at a high level for at least two years.
Dirk is getting old and only has two or three good years left. I really doubt that the Mavs want to take on a project player.
If they do decide they can take on a project it will be with a big that can at least play some defense.
I'm really beginning to doubt that the Mavs draft Schroe.
I sure hope you're right, and I'm wrong. I don't share your optimism, however.
On the record, I do think the Mavs are looking at a number of options right now.
They could bring Collison back, and draft Olynyk/Adams - but they're both projects as well, it's not like they're gonna set the NBA on fire straight away.

And they will go hard after CP3 and Dwight Howard. May be possible if it's true that Dirk will take less money. How many players do they have under contract?
You likes to throw around the word/phrase "BPA" .. well at #13, Schroeder may very well be BPA.
If I was Dallas I'd take a long hard look at him.

No.
The funny thing is this was a strength in high school, and was compared to Rip Hamilton, and as far as pg's go his ball handling is sub-par. I don't think he's much better then Burks in that department
what's wrong with the word Christian? Isn't that the exact definition of follower of Christ?
if they like Schroeder I don't see why they wouldn't take him. Dirk isn't going anywhere without a pg.

Sorry ment to say no to what Franklin said about rethinking on MCW with the vert. Was just going to comment that he reminds me of Shaun Livingston post injury.
