    What position does Jeff Geen play?

    "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.'"

    Small forward and power forward. More depends on his match up.

    You know what a "Tweener" is dude. You want Alex Poythress to play the 3, but he's a prototypical 4. He's what they call a combo forward. Do you know any of these terms or do you just breathe out of your mouth and stare at the screen? He can play either position but it doesn't mean he'll be a good SF in the NBA. He is turnover prone and very inconsistent. Basically reminds me of AFA with maybe a slighty better mid range shot but doesn't play with near the intensity. He won't be a top 10 pick which is where we'll likely be picking so I don't know why you want him when guys like Porter and Bennett will be there when we pick.

    He's just a self appointed know it all.

    Did you know that he's NEVER been wrong about anything in his life? He also played basketball so he knows more than any of us about the game.

    Depends on where we pick but, (1-5) McClemore, (6-10) Porter, & (11-14) Burke. Muhammad can score, which every team needs, but I don't know what else he would bring to the table.
    Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

    Tweener is a term for a player who's skill-set and play style fail to match their body type.

    Iverson had a SGs mentality but a PGs body.

    I really don't want McClemore unless Demps is POSITIVE he can play the 3.

    Also, I wouldn't mind Burke in that 6-10 slot... I'm fine with anyone of the following: Porter/Burke/Noel/Carter-Williams & Muhammad.

    And that's precisely the point w/ Bass... we need another scorer on the wing. If we draft Bazz, then we give Aminu a nice sizeable contract and we have a good balance b/w the two at the SF for the next few years. That would be a really nice young core group there.

    (Hopefully) Jennings/Vasquez/Rivers
    Gordon/Rivers/Miller
    Aminu/Bazz/Miller
    Davis/Anderson
    Lopez/Smith

    Jennings + gordon + shabazz = teams will be having 20 offensive boards on us every night

    Who should become the first person to be drafted to the pelicans?

    If we end up with a top 6 pick, we better come out of the draft with a big. Len, Zeller, Noel, or Austin would be my first choice. We need to shore up that front court as we'll probably be out of the top half of the lottery after this season.

    I don't like Austin w/ AD... that's just me. I think Len & Noel would be nice fits and shore us up for the term down low.

    But all 3 of those guys, along w/ AD, need to put on some significant weight to man the post.

    Not too familiar with a lot of point and shooting guards that crash offensive glass. Not over Anthony Davis anyway.

    Remind me if shabazz is a shooting guard? Additionally, whilst anderson and lopez are very good offensive rebounders, they're pitiable on the defensive glass. That is helped quite a lot by aminu who is a beast on the boards, but put there davis @ center, anderson @4 (or lopez and davis, same thing anyway), shabazz gordon and jennings. If you tell me davis can block out 5 players at once I'm more than happy about it. If not, they'll feast on our defensive glass

    Just looked him up last night he had 18 and 20 vs a good Oklahoma team and has had like 10 games with over 14 rebounds I like him, he's projected 7th
    if we ended up with him & Davis in the paint and got them to gain about 20 pounds each that would be so dank.
    Alvin Gentry is my savior

    The Sonics errrr Thunder kinda had the same predicament, now I'm not comparing McLemore to Durant but they were in position to draft Durant and had Ray Allen. Wht if McLemore is far and away the best player in the draft. So far he is standing out. Not sure if he's taht much better than Shabazz but he's pretty awesome.

    They ended up trading Allen on draft night soon after drafting Durant. even if they kept Allen, They don't even play the same positions.

    If McLemore or shabazz are on the board u gotta take them, when I have the chance at elite talent u take it regardless of ur roster, u can always workout a trade, say McLemore does become the next ray Allen and Gordon can't play pg, u package gordon and a first round pick for an absolute stud center or small forward, there are ways around it

    Gordon is not a PG... it's that simple. He played it in college and didn't excel like at the 2.

    He doesn't like being a full time PG... he's the "cornerstone"... don't make him play PG when he's fine at the 2.
