We now have a front court that moves at the speed of molasses!
Woo hoo!
Woo hoo!
Watch the guy play before you judge. He has some serious skill.
none of which we really need
I just can't shake a feeling of darkness from over me.
There's such a small chance that someone of great use could fall to us (JianLian / B. Wright / Noah) and I have gotten myself phyched on the chance we could grab one.
But then I also pretty much know that those guys will al be drafted and we will be 'stuck' with yet another swingman type player.
Here's hoping for one of my 'Big Three'
Make it so, Basketball Gods...Make it so!
SO we don't need a big man who can score with his back to the basket??? We obviously need interior defense more, but it wasn't there. We drafted a need, from many of our needs. Who was the last big on this team that could score fro mthe post. That will open up the offense for others a lot...

No knock on Hawes and the type of player he is, but the Kings NEED frontcourt altleticism and rebounding more than anything. They've also needed this for years. Hell, the Hawks finally picked a guard, can't we draft some inside presence for once?
Deep draft, pretty high pick, yet we pass up on Julian Wright and draft basically a young Brad Miller. Can't rebound, doesn't defend, doesn't block shots...ummmmm Petrie better know something about this guy that we don't.
Are you assuming neither will be traded over the next couple of months?The guy is going to be an excellent low post player. Teams will not be able to play small ball against us because of that. But, he is just like Miller on defense, so the only way he and the team succeeds is if every other player on the floor, including point guard, is highly athletic. Petrie has his work cut out for him.
Not trading Bibby and Artest is bad, bad news.

Yes, but we would have still needed that regardless of who we picked. Unless we reached and rolled the dice on Sean Williams at 10, the next best players were SFs. I am not sold on Hawes, but if he does develop into another version of Brad Miller (in his prime) but with more post moves, he could be a great complementary player to the athletic 7 footer we still need.
At least thsi pick signals that we are rebuilding. You do not draft a 19 year old project if you are planning on making a playoff push. I'll be interested in seeing if we trade Artest or Bibby today for and pick up another pick.
Tell me, how much running up and down a championship team does. How many times have Phoenix won compared to Spurs
Secondly, how athletic do you think Tim Duncan is? In the end Duncan is a skilled player who has a high basketball IQ. (just like Spencer)
