Lol, your putting a guy who was the Freshman of the year at 17% success rate? His main flags are immaturity due to age and environment.

Yes, I am. I am that confident that he will be a major pain in the ***, lazy piece of ****, whose caught with drugs, too much food, and/or hookers multiple times throughout his career which will flame out on about six different teams. He'll be a Randolph/Curry/Coleman combo and he'll have a long career based on his natural ability but he won't nearly reach his potential and will be a major migraine along the way.

I didn't watch any college ball this year until the tournament. I like Hayward because he has sweet handles for a 6'8" guy, can create or get his own shot off the dribble, has a sweet shooting stroke despite having mediocre percentages this year, he is a great passer for a SF, is an underrated athlete with live legs, and possesses great toughness. He will make up for his athletic limitations on the defensive end with smarts and great effort...think Horny on D. He needs to get stronger, but he is a Jazz man if I have ever seen one. He would contribute off the bench from day one and Sloan would love him. Smart, versatile, tough, and talented. Comparing him to Kyle Korver is a travesty. He can do a lot more with a basketball than Korver can.

So he's the next Harpring? If so that's not bad, Harpring was good until he got old and injured.

He is a much better ballhandler and outside shooter than Harpring. He is also a better tennis player. Harpring isn't a terrible comparison though as far as the value Hayward would bring to the team...Hayward is obviously slimmer and a much more fluid athlete and won't be able to bang Ron Artest like Harp was able to.
 
I just don't understand the fans here. We have been begging for a big defensive center for years now and everyone is going for Monroe? I think he could be a good pick but ahead of Aldrich? I think you are giving up passing for defense and the Jazz have a pretty good distributor. Lets actually pick a defensive minded center which is what we need. I know he is white but I actually think he is very athletic. He might not be a Dwight Howard but I doubt any of these bigs turn into anything that nice and Favors (who could be great) will be long gone.

I'm with ya...too bad our bandwagon is pretty small around here. Although Aldrich is getting a few more votes than I expected in this thread...

Couldnt agree more. (except for the part about Aldrich being very athletic. I do think he is decently athletic though.)

I bet that if Monroe was white and Aldrich was black the votes would be reversed.

For me it wouldn't be. I have a weakness for big men that are excellent passers. I loved Brad Miller in his prime, enjoyed Divac even in his flopping years, etc etc. To the extent that Monroe has the potential to be one of those guys, I want him.

Best. Avatar. Ever.

Milk was a bad choice.

That said, I totally agree. Monroe's a bitch and will make Okur look like Bill Russell. Get Ostertag who has a pair.
 
It was a hard call, but i picked Udoh. I know Monroe is the sexier pick, but I think at only 1 inch shorter Udoh has a much more balanced game and actually stepped up more in big games late in the year and in the tourney than Monroe.
 
I don't want Monroe. I think some big, season-changing plays are going to go down in his face. We have Okur for that already.
