    Draft The 2013 NBA Draft lookout thread! Who do you want if we land a top ten pick?

    The last draft lookout thread proved to be the largest thread in HR history. The season is looking grim, but this was expected. Here we will discuss prospects throughout the season. Last season's thread was filled with great info, videos, etc.. We will use this thread throughout the season to clear up numerous draft threads.

    I agree, either a SF or a PG. Can Shabazz play the 3. I need to pull up his info.

    BPA all the way, but I hope it ends up being a SF.

    Athletic specimen. Beast on the boards but dumb. Screams Al-Farouq playing center. All the tools but can't apply them.

    I want Muhammad, I think he has all the tools to fit perfectly in with this team, he's the swing man we have been looking for, he might not be the tallest SF but like Davis he still has a couple more years that he could possibly grow!!

    Keep in mind that Muhammad has something close to a 7-foot wingspan, so that makes up for him only being around 6'6.

    Damn, I did not know that, thanks for letting me know that, makes me want us to draft him even more!

    In a couple years from now, if everything turns out well, I just can't see us paying a nice portion of money for Ryno, AR (if develops), EG, AD, and possibly Muhammed

    Can't build a team like that. You acquire the best assets you can, no matter what. You don't pass on a guy like Shabazz because you think you might not be able to re-sign him when the time comes. You draft him, and hope to God you have too much talent on the roster in 4 years because that means you probably won a Championship. Plus, we can always work out a S&T like what OKC did with Harden. Rarely ever does a team just lose a great player, save Cleveland.

    I wouldn't pass on him. Especially because of that...

    Just posing the thought that we could have an OKC type of deal in a few years, like you mentioned.

    Poythress = Aminu

    "I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

    In that he's a bit of a tweener? I can see that. But if you're at all trying to say he plays bread dead and has no offensive game whatsoever, then you couldn't be more wrong.

    Also, another SF to keep an eye on, Adonis Thomas. He might stay another year to work on his offensive game some.

    Nash is a interesting prospect, really talented but has some maturity issues.

    No.

    Muhammad is my first choice. But I can't see us landing a top 3 pick. Poythress is who I want.

    First off I was saying why I think people aren't talking about him. I have done no scouting and didn't claim to have , so my apologies if it came across like that. I meant as eman guessed that he's a tweener.
