Crawford on the block?

[Minstrel]

I'd much rather a pick. Don't see why you'd rather want someone passed over by 3 teams and 4 coaches already.

Because outside the very top of the draft, draft picks rarely yield anything. I'm always intrigued, as low-risk fliers, by players who have performed quite well in limited minutes at a young age. If they have athletic tools to go with that performance, even more so.

As I said, most likely he won't prove to be anything of impact. I still consider him a significantly better reward proposition than a non-top-ten pick.

One thing to keep in mind when it comes to draft picks:

Larry Miller and Chad Buchanan are leading the evaluation of prospects and they have proven to be horrible at that.

Luke Babbitt
Armon Johnson
Nolan Smith
Jon Diebler

Need I say more?

How many teams passed on Billups?

Or Linsanity?

Teams move on from players all the time, only for that player to blossom in a different situation.

Like I said, I wouldn't mind getting him for free. But with the entire situation (coaching, contracts etc.) in context, I don't see him yielding any results.

Whats up with Diebs?

Perhaps, but probably for another team since he's a free agent after this season.

This draft will be good. Any first rounder > Randolph IMO.

Whats up with Diebs?

Playing in Greece. Crazy shooting numbers.

His ceiling is probably something like Steve Novak in the NBA.

Would never stop me from turning an expiring contract into a player with big potential.

Easy decision for me.

Not worth the opportunity cost.

58% on 2's and 53% on 3's.
