We got Cousins for major rebounding. He is our great outlet passer anyway. There is only one ball to rebounding from at any time in a game.I didn't say rebounding specialist. He's a mediocre rebounder who is a defensive specialist
WOW that's the worst player comp I've ever seen- Kaminsky to Anderson... that's just ridiculous, at least Bill is entartaining.
On the other hand, WCS is possibly the key to Cousins staying.
I wanted Mudiay but I was under no illusions that the kid would be winning awards. I think WCS has a chance for a long Tyson Chandler like career....he's had significant impact. It's possible that Mudiay AND WCS will be impactful. Notice I didn't put Johnson in there.Look, this is all I'm going to say about the pick and then I'll let the majority of you go one celebrating. The only picks I hated more than this one were Jimmer and Spencer Hawes. I hated those picks and people here jumped all over me to say how wrong I was. As it turned out, those were both terrible picks after all. I'm already on record about this but I'll say it again: Emmanuel Mudiay and Stanley Johnson are the two best players in the draft. We just passed on both of them. Cauley-Stein will be decent for us but a DPOY he is not. He's not going to single-handidly fix our defense, and in four years we're still going to be talking about how we can fix the PF position while Mudiay and Johnson are winning awards on other teams.
This is the one draft we couldn't afford to blow and we just blew it. Heaven help us.
id be perfectly happy if he ends up as good as chandler ibaka or jordanHe's a role player either way. A good fit next to Cuz, likely very good but a role player nonetheless, just as Chandler, Ibaka and Jordan are.

How in the world is Winslow still slipping??
Hawes wasn't a bad pick; go back and look at that draft again. It turns out that he's a stain of human being, but that's not the same thing.I'm saying y'all told me I was full of it before and you were wrong. I don't think I'm wrong this time either.
your argument included people being happy over hawes. that was not the case. most people were bummed over missing noah. i dont remember anyone celebrating hawes. maybe a few saying at least we got a big
It's pretty sad that people can only look at stats. I guarantee that WCS will be a good rebounder in the NBA.
Context, people. Not only did WCS spend much of his time out on the perimeter, he was also playing next to multiple great rebounders throughout his three years at Kentucky. But no, let's look at his stats, ignore all context, and call him a bad rebounder.
And you think Ibaka, Chadler and Jordan are a bad ceiling for a 6th pick? Actually I'm preying WCS turns out to be like those guys...He's a role player either way. A good fit next to Cuz, likely very good but a role player nonetheless, just as Chandler, Ibaka and Jordan are.
I think this whole thing is moot if karl and DMC can't work things out. If cousins ends up leaving this pick is going to really hurt us. Karl is the huge wildcard.

Great picks for Miami and Indiana. The rich get richer.

I was with you on Johnson, but can't defend this Turner pick. Feels like a reach
