    Funny, I remember in 2005 people said the same thing about Chris Paul.

    11.9 and 7.8 in 27 min on 8 shots. Played in the NIT on a fractured ankle still made it to NY. Those great moments you saw could come more often than you think.
    We want more! We want more!

    I think Bennett is a top 6 player in this draft, he is just a terrible fit for the Pels. Hopfully someone will grab him and leave us with Porter (doubtful), Oladipo, or burke.

    Now the frustrating thing will be if one of those guys is there and then the Pels go for someone else like Len (who isn't bad, just not as good as the three I listed).

    Read a report couple weeks back that they love him and would have taken him with the 1st overall pick.

    There's 5 guys I like and we're picking 6th. Hopefully the other GMs don't see it the same.

    1. Noel
    2. Oladipo
    3. Burke
    4. McLemore
    5. Porter
    ...

    Then I guess Shabazz :/ Hopefully someone bites on Bennett or another in front of us

    Basically what GWB said.

    Do you mean he is not as good for the Pels or generally not as good as the other players? The reason I'm asking is because Burke, Oladipo, Porter, and Len all play different positions. The Pels really can't go wrong in this draft. It truly is a crapshoot. No need to be disappointed when so many positions could be filled on this team.

    Someone will take Bennett top 5 guys. Dipo/Burke/Porter will be there.
    Why in the world would anyone want to draft Bennett and trade Ryno. He's our 2nd best player behind Davis and if you take contracts into account he's almost on par with Kevin Love. I hope the guy retires here. If you have a stretch 4 you don't just move him because you "project" a rookie to do something.

    Pels will have a shot at Burke but does Burke trump the need for an athletic center? We have 2 guys that can start at the point (GV and Austin), but do we really want to see Lopez starting at the 5 again?

    Just because a player can "start" doesn't mean he's the best option. If you think Burke is the answer at that position you take him and worry about finding a center or small forward later.

    Lopez at the 5 is not the worst thing. You take the better player and to me Burke is that player when compared to Len (a big man needing surgery for a stress fracture in his ankle) or the other centers available at 6 (unless you are convinced that Zeller can become a dynamic starting 5).

    Many fear that he is just another white center (sad but true).
    If you Jimmer it, they will come.

    I understand that's how you feel. And I feel Len is the better prospect. I would rather him get the surgery to get it corrected properly than to take the chance on it healing on its own and it being a lingering problem. I could be wrong, you could be wrong, it will be awhile before we find out.
