    As would a Steph Curry that's big enough to not get pushed around.

    I'm not sure I really like the Steph Curry comparison.

    90% of Curry's shot attempts are jump shots. Bleh.

    I think Lillard will be better at attacking/finishing at the basket. He's not a skinny fuck like Curry.

    So, Fez... For the record, do you like the draft? I'm sure you posted this, but I probably missed it in the thousands of posts.

    I like the Leonard pick. I can live with the Lillard pick considering Waiters went in the top-5. Though, I don't think he was the BPA (best prospect available) at #6 (Barnes).

    So by "living" with the Lillard pick... Does that mean you think he'll be a quality starter?

    If not... I wouldn't "live" with the pick.

    Yeah.

    I think he'd do well with a D'Antoni type of tempo. The system will be very important in his development.

    Leonard in a heavy P&R offense, something D'Antoni specializes in, would put his development on the fast track.

    Lillard's pick and roll numbers from college were also pretty good, I think him and Leonard could thrive together

    That, and LMA does well here, and those cuts to the hoop to dunk lob passes. Makes me think management may have a small clue.

    The Hickory-High system is a common measure of intoxication. When you are so high that chanting "Hickory Dickory Dock, the mouse ran up the clock" repeatedly seems like fun, you've reached Hickory-High.

    I hope you can get a refund. Taj Gibson? Leonard may not be great, but he isn't a 3/4 tweener.

    So we now know this was Allen's pick for a Franchise Player.

    Sure Barnes' with his personality will make a great leader as well, but when presented with two equal prospects of the same tier, the Blazers chose based on need and got their PGOTF
