Thread: 1st rounder

  1. #1

    1st rounder

    despite the organization's desire for a lottery pick it's probably just a pipe dream; regardless, if we were to attain a late lottery pick, here are the players I feel we should target

    Yaxel Lendenberg- kind of does it all and can play positionless basketball. kind of a very poor man's labron + adds shooting

    Cameron Carr- the highest vert around at 42.5.... to go with his 7' wingspan and is a total sniper from very deep. i like em better than edgecomb

    Brayden Berries and Aday Mara would be really great, but may be long gone

    Mikel Brown Jr if they got high enough. Great fit with Zion and can play without the ball.

    I can see em coveting Yaxel

    but then again, considering how we once coveted Alparen Sengun,and our dismal rebounding.
    I could see us wanting Hannes Steinbach as well.
    I've seen him compared to Sengun and statistically speaking he's the best rebounder in the draft

    Steinbech is a solid prospect , but makes no sense to me after drafting Queen.

    Typical. He is a Weaver special, from the DMV area. That way that clown never has to leave his desk or sofa to actually scout a player.

    Nate Ament makes me sick,

    Id take every other player in the top 15 before taking Ament.

    such as Cameron Carr, Yyaxel, Morez, Berries and Mara

    "NBA Comparison: Jonathan Isaac/Austin Daye"


    what do yal notice about nbadraft.net's player comparisons........ they were both busts

    and he has T-Rex Arms


    why would we want to bring in a project in regards to shooting. Cameron Carr, Yaxel Lendenberg and Hannes Steinbach all shoot the 3 better.

    when your weakness is shooting bringing in Ament doesn't make sense


    i dont believe our FO really covets him

    Everything you say makes perfect sense, except the last sentence. Clearly only one thing matters to Weaver and that is where a player grew up playing.

    No way. I refuse to believe it. No way the can pick out the only dude in the lottery I had decided we cant draft

    My favorite professional team would never do that to me. It .............................. it would be a cycle of abuse.....

    One of the first years the Pels (hornets) were here, I traveled to the smoothie king arena to check out the Hornets draft party. Tractor Trailer was there for the fans and then the Pels rep stepped to the microphone and announced there will be no draft choices cause we've traded for Courtney Alexander

    torture

    the selection of Kira Lewis.... torture. He was fast and could shoot the three; but wasnt good at the sport of basketball.

    one year we got two bigs (hilton armstrong and cedric simmons) in the top 20 picks and neither panned out all.----- torture



    Ament.... i refuse to believe it
