    I'm excited because it sounds like Dell has a plan.

    He's already started lifting again. I don't think running is going to kill him.

    What's the rush?

    Now what if Anthony Bennett looks like a beast this season for us off the bench. Then at the deadline we can trade him and Eric Gordon for a star that demands a trade or some team would love to add those two?!?!?

    So he backs up AD? When does Ryno get in?

    Bennett might play the 3 in some sets (since both he and RYNO can shoot with range, it would have a different dynamic than the Jefferson/Favors/Millsaps set in Utah) but I don't see him ever starting at the 3. I do think he and Davis can play together long term if it comes to that. Davis IMO is going to play a lot of minutes at center going forward. It's a waste to have a shotblocker like that chasing stretch fours around half the time.

    AD can play center with Bennett at the four. AD, Ryno, & Bennett can play together too in some sets. I think he can play small forward. Some nights playing AD and Ryno may be tough to play together, so we play AD & Bennett instead. It doesn't sound like that will make a difference cause we will take Burke. So if Rivers starts lighting it up, how we gonna play him, Gordon, Vasquez & Burke. Say we take McLemore or Oladipo, how will he, Gordon, Rivers, Vasquez, and whoever we get to play small forward play their minutes. You make it work with whoever we take at 6, that's how.

    Who says he won't get traded if they somehow pick him?....

    R.I.P. to HunnyB/FlyGirl

    I think Bennett will be the best player in this draft, reminds me of Larry Johnson. With that said I still don't want to draft him, I'm content with AD and Ryno

  11. #36
    Plus I didn't see AD and Jason Smith play the whole season last year. Robin Lopez is known for getting beat up too. You can never have enough players much less big men.

    He absolutely believes that he can. Does that count?

    He'll say whatever teams want to hear in order to get selected higher.

  17. #42
    You guys seem to forget another strong possibility ... we have a trade ready for him if he falls to 6.
    It does look unlikely but getting a promess from us is weird to begin with. Who knows with Demps ...

    i still wish we could just trade gordon to pheonix for the 5th pick.

    I've been saying the same thing. Him being 15lbs overweight has changed me mind just a bit tho. I def think he has the most upside of any of these guys in this draft. If anything I was hoping he lost 15lbs lol. I'd like for him to be able defend the 3 some. Not saying he still can't but not lookin good on that front.

    So did Derrick Williams

    "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.'"

    I watched dude highlights and he plays, IMO like a young Z-BO....... So explain to me why shouldn't we get this guy again? Cause AD isn't ready to play Center?

    Probably because he also ACTS like a young Z-Bo lol I wouldn't mind it if he was the pick though or if we trade him afterwards.
