NBA Draft

I do not want to bundle those picks to move up and \i doubt any team wants to take on 2 lottery pick contracts (guarentee for 3 years) We have the cap room and have needs. Draft wisely and improve

 

Knight did good, but two things are hard to come by in the NBA, a great PG, which I think Paul will be and Great big men. There aren't any sure fire big men imo, so Paul I think would be the best pick, then either you have Knight to mentor a year or part of the first year or just let Paul start to begin with. Knight would be a very nice backup or possible trade bait, just not sure what he would bring.

Williams will be a great player, but that could be a year or two away, it really hard to say how fast he will get to the next level in his game. I don't really see any other options than those two players though that fit this teams need and are worth the pick.

I would be happy with either one though. The fan in me wants Williams, but Paul just makes sense imo.

 

Obviously I am not a UNC fan so I am not biased for Williams but to me the two strengths of the Bobcats are Okafor and Knight. If they were to add a swing man who can score and create his own shot then they would be able to challenge for a playoff spot. I am not so sure that Paul is a sure thing either. He is pretty immature and may not fufill his potential.

 

Well I don't think I am really being biased towards Williams as you noticed I said Paul would be my first choice. Those are the only two picks that are as close to a sure thing imo. Bogut will do ok, but I don't see him being an all-star, so who do you think they should take, if they did have a top 3 pick?

There aren't really any Lebrons in this draft, take Paul if you can and trade maybe? Paul is young and does still need to grow up, but most of the players are like that unless it's one of these 4 year players, and in todays game if they stay 4 years most likey they aren't all that.

 

I do not really know who they should take. I do not follow it closely enough. They might be better off if they do not get a top three pick. No one coming out is really that great. Maybe if they pick fifth or sixth they get a decent player and do not have to eat up as much salary cap. I think the guy they need to get to the next level is going to be acquired in free agency.

 

With the rookie salary cap the rookie salaries are set and are very reasonable. I think Emeka might have 3.5 or so this year so the cap room is not that big of a concern. I think as long as we get a top 4 pick we will get a very good player. Williams, Paul, Bogut and Felton will all be really good.

 

I think any of them could also bust pretty easily too. I actually think Williams has less bust potential than the other three.

 

Rookie's salarys are pretty low in comparison to veterans so it really doesn't make that big of a deal. I think the #1's pick total 4 year hit is like $13M - siginicantly less than say the NFL Draft's #1 pick.

 

You always have that concern of a player you take being a bust. Lebron got a ton of hype, but not sure that anybody thought he would do what he has done this soon.

 

If they get the #1 pick...try to trade to get 2 first round picks and get Willams AND Felton...now that's a dream draft.
