Green points out a fact and it's construed as an insult? Yes, let's make sure Irving goes number one at all costs. Nobody dare point out that he might have any weaknesses in his game, please.

Define "fact"? How does one qualify or quantify "not much different"? Does pace-adjusting account for anything, or context?

More than half of his posts in the last couple of weeks have been about the same thing and are plainly absurd. Again, no one in this thread brought up Irving. That's not the first time either.

He's allowed to say what he wants, I just think it's bizarre to be interjecting with a straw-man argument, and a very poor one at that.

If that is the case though why not just draft Jimmer at 12? Chances are Knight will not be the shooter he is, Jimmer shot 40% from 3's and most came with an insane degree of difficulty (off balance, 25' +)
Knight is a better defender of course, but camp would indicate Jimmer should be able to stay in front of most PGs.

Doing lane slides well doesn't make you a adequate defender.
 
I think we should take Kanter even if Williams is still on the board, for the same reason Min might not take him, if he can be a traditional three then take him if not we need to go with Kanter.

Another reason I take Kanter, I'm a gambling man no one has seen him play.... Whatif he is that superstar can't miss player this draft is missing. Remember he never got to play for KU. Who knows he might have played himself into the number one pick.

Or he might have played himself out of the lottery against better competition...who knows?
 
I want to know why we need a PG at 3?

It's not like we have 2 crappy players at the point (Devin and Earl). And it's not like Irving or Knight is going to be Drose or CP3.

So why waste a #3 draft pick on someone that might be... Oh I dunno.. Ray Felton or Jason Terry? Guys that are typically drafted in the 10-20 range? Guys that are nice role players but aren't really good starting PGs in this league?

Why waste the 2nd highest draft pick we've ever had on a guy whose ceiling is to be a decent role player?

Folks, lets either trade down or draft a player who at least has the potential to be a franchise player. Because last I checked, we traded away our franchise shortly after Jerry Sloan stepped down.
 
We're going to be in the lottery for some time if Hayward is our #1 playmaker.

In fact, we're never getting out of it if that's the case.

Lets use Harris. We can trade him before the trade deadline. Or we can just use him and draft a better PG prospect in next years draft. None of the points this year are franchise PGs anyway.

I agree, draft Rivers next year.

I'm a Kanter fan, but it is pretty ridiculous to base a player off of one game, especially an all-star game. Just sayin....

This is exactly the Kanter conundrum. He might be fantastic. But there's no tape on the guy. He's like an old school straight out of high school pick, but he only played his junior year of high school. Liking Kanter is pure faith. The Hoop Summit and the 16 year old Turkish Warrior stuff gives me next to zero read. I can get behind the pick just as easily as not care about passing on him.
