IF Jason Thompson drops to the 2nd round we might give the guy a tryout. But I think he will probably be mid/late 1st round..

I do like Singletary from what I have seen, but I only have seen him a couple times. He's a senior right? That's also a plus when you need experience. It will take less time to figure out if the guy is NBA material.

DeVon Harvin might drop to the second round. Might be someone we pickup with our pick in rd2.

Also wouldn't mind taking Joey Dorsey if he's there in the 2nd.

What the **** are we going to do with a 2nd round pick?

carlos boozer, paul millsap, michael redd, mehmet okur, anderson varejao, manu ginobili were all picked in the second round.

Uhh, draft a player in the hopes that he helps the team's development/depth? Call me crazy.

i say we take a flier on a foreign player with potential and let a pro club season him overseas then bring him over like we did stojakovic a few yrs later. either that or take a domestic player that has oodles of potential

i still go for the first idea tho so we can allow more playing time to the players we have now. the nbdl doesn't develop like the euro clubs overseas.

I'm not against that idea in the second round. More than likely there will be some interesting prospects who we can let develop overseas, rather than take a guy that may not even make the team. Depends on the player of course, and who's on the board, but it's not a bad idea.

 

[Big Cuz 15]

the reason i would like to go that route is to save roster space to develop the players we do have. it's invaluable for these players to get time to develop. we can monitor his progress without having it count against our cap. if he doesn't pan out the way we expect .. we could possibly trade him for another player or picks. i believe we paid 2 2nd rounders for darius songaila.

Dang.. You don't have to put everything in size "5" BOLD font for people to read it...

Yeah... unfortunately, we are now down to 3 players younger than Kevin (Hawes, Douby, SWilliams), and, barring any more changes this week, will have quite a few roster slots open at the end of the year. It might have been a good solution when we had a fuller roster and an additional young player, not so sure that it solves the problems that we face right now.

if you had to pick either Darrell Arthur or Darren Collison?

 

[Big Cuz 15]

collison

I like Shawn James as a high risk high reward guy, crazy athletic long shot blocker who has potential for a good face up game. Kind of like Eddie Griffin without the craziness.

 

[Vlade4GM]

if you had to pick either Darrell Arthur or Darren Collison?

Arthur, easy. Collison is a very good college player, but I don't think he's anything special at the NBA level; not enough athleticism and finishing ability. Arthur while has a ways to go has all the physical tools to be a near all-star PF, he needs to put it all together though. Between the middle risk/middle reward PG and the high risk/high reward PF I take the PF.

i agree! i really think collison might be like earl watson. we really need a pf! really bad.

 

[=LarryLegend=]

i would take Kevin love over Arthur though.

I still believe in Petrie's good eye for scouting talents. May it be overseas or not. So even second round picks should still be good assets on this team.

Neither..

most of the mock drafts have us taking love

They're just rankings, they're not considering team needs at this point.

 

[kings20993]

well yea you never take mock draft to seriously at the all star break

 

[bajaden]

Sean Singletary anybody agree?

I don't like Singletary that much. If I was going to take a flyer, I would go with Derrick Caracter or Tyrese Rice. If you want a player to play in Europe for a while I might go with Nikola Pekovic.
