Kyrie is often hurt, so is Varejao. We'll see what Zellar and Waiters can provide but they're going to have to be impressive.

Sleeper - You said something about the Wizards being the most surprising team. Why?

I liked klay thompson, who looked pretty good this year, and Tobias Harris, who basically did nothing, but wouldn't have touched either of them at 5.

I like zeller. If we were trading up the only other guy i might have taken was t jones. I would have just prefered to keep our second rounders and sticking at 25 or whatever it was. Thought there was good depth in this draft.

Crimson streak;1284240 wrote:I disagree. You can't go in the season with 4 rookies on your roster. Especially 2nd rd picks who rarely ever pan out, zeller was a steal where we selected him. He's very solid in all aspects of the game. He's not a guy whose going to average 20&10 but a guy that can get you 13 and 10 and he runs the floor better than 90 percent of the centers in the nba. The waiters pick I'm ok with because they needed another guy who can create his own shot. The only 2 guys that could do that in this draft were waiters and lamb, and possibly mkg. If you look at college stats waiters actually shot better than beal did.

Can't wait, we all love the sports knowledge you add to all threads!!!!!!

Anyway, you are giving jordo too much credit. No way he will make a prediction and get into a discussion with somebody. He will make an obvious prediction that maybe one person will respond to, and then later in the year he will claim that "a bunch of posters" didn't agree with him.

Crimson streak;1284761 wrote:Cause that means your going to be horrible. Especially when their 2nd round picks. And plus there wasn't much room on the roster for them all. Plus the cavs picked up Kevin jones who they would have drafted in the 2nd rd if they had a pick so essentially we got rid of a 2nd and a late first for zeller

We were gonna be horrible either way. I don't think rookies would have changed that.
