    I honestly think he is more in the mold of Kevin Garnett. Not saying he will be that good yet, but that's the type of game he has.

    Ideally, you want some offense on this team. And IMO, there's nothing in 1-3 that can't be replaced over time - if we actually had two good players at one of the three spots, there's a lot worse than that.

    Knight's a good solid PG - glad he's there. If we can get a PG that can create and score as well, great. I think, personally, that Paul's that guy - he's got the 3. I'd rather see a 2G that can penetrate, but I do wish he had that in him a little more. Deron Williams does have a bit more of the Isaiah Thomas type feel in him, IMO, a bit tougher, a lot more deliberate. This team's style will always be deliberate, and I can get with that. I don't know in the end whether his speed will be a huge issue, but you do want your better guard defender to be able to get out on transition.

    Biggest thing I've...uhh...read from Green is effort. Can he work hard for 82 games like he's going to work for scouts? Is he going to be ready to be that scrub for a year? If we stashed him behind Wallace, no big deal for a little while. But being a HS kid it's nearly impossible for me to jaw about his abilities. I do think that, what I've read of him, he might be the 2nd best thing to getting Marvin, in that you'd have a bit of size at the 3, but enough athleticism to make him dangerous outside.

    If they can bring Knight back at a decent price I would do it and not be locked into drafting a PG. If a PG is the BPA then maybe you take him whether Knight is back or not. I agree with Magnus on one point, this team needs some scoring. They can defend and rebound pretty well they just need more offense. A guy who can create his own shot would help a lot. If Knight is back then a small forward or a shooting guard would probably provide more immediate impact than a PG. Outside of Okafor there is not really a guy who we can build around long term so you are pretty much required to take the BPA.

    Brezic while not dominant, should be around a good few years. He's proven that he's good enough to start. If Gerald Wallace could shoot worth a damn, he'd be one of the best SF in the game, but due to the fact he has like NO outside shot I'd consider him able to be moved. I'd like to have Knight at LEAST one more year to help groom a rookie PG. I just think that when the kid hit the wall it'd be nice to have a vet there to help him out. Like I said before at this point I just want a shooter. Even if its a Dell Curry streaky type.

    When will we have a full cap to play with? This team with a superstar 2 guard would be a playoff team.
