    Should be an interesting draft, esp if Lakers go Russell and 76ers go Okafor. Rumor is Phil likes Kaminsky...

    Winslow and Booer on the board and you take Kaminsky. Is this real life?

    I figured it. But as I said earlier I'm not super critical of his game, and I think he can relieve some of the load off Al.

    I see him getting ate defensively and I don't think his offense will be that much better than Cody.....I see the lottery right back in our future but hopefully I'm wrong

    No way we are a playoff team with the current roster.
    Can't wait for Kaminsky jerseys to flat out sit in the store.

    Holy **** I just remembered the Hornets already have Zeller too :lol: that makes the pick even worse. Front line of Kaminsky-Big Al-Hawes-Zeller bout to get ate the **** up on defense.

    Yeah it looks like there's no direction. But atleast the Nuggets look like they'll stop messing up for a few :smokin. The hornets should've never passed up Bradley Beal. :smh:

    By the end of the year yall think Kaminsky going to be starting? I hope not, but I will readily admit that his mid-long range jumper (outside of CZ's hotspot) might be nicer than Zeller. However I think Zeller is a better defender and rebounder (despite his limitations in both those areas).

    Kemba

    MKG

    Batum

    Zeller

    Jefferson

    Bench doesn't look TOOOO bad, though I really think we should find a way to deal Hawes maybe. We could really use another post presence.

    Great question. Although some reports said Batum was going to play the 2 all along and MKG was going to play the 3. Either way, replacing him won't be easy.

    Cliff said he doesn't want to lose Lamb's bench scoring but said Lamb and PJ will be given chances to prove themselves.

    Batum will still start at the 2 according to him. I can see them moving Marvin to the 3 and throwing Cody or Frank in at the starting 4. If I had to guess I'd say PJ gets the start if he proves himself.

    If we file for the disabled player exception we'd have about 11 million in cap which helps facilitate a trade

    I don't think he is now, but I think he can be.

    Needs to shore up his defense for sure. And needs to shoot much much better than he has. But if he can shoot like he did at UNC, there's no reason he won't get starter's minutes whether he starts or not. Especially in BRICK (i mean) BUZZ CITY from outside.

    Personally think PJ biggest issue is his social circle. It's improved but I still think he needs to distance himself from some a lil. At least until he really establishes himself into the league.

    If he doesn't show more he'll be out the league in another year or two. He's still unproven IMO


    I think he has the talent but mentally I just don't know
