The 1 player you absolutely dont want to pick?

[MickZagger]

Who is the player that you will absolutely be pissed at management if we take?

For me its Bismack Biyombo. I was torn between him and Singleton. He reminds me of one of the horrible untalented bigs that Seattle took year, after year.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Norris Cole.

I can't stomach another combo guard.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

hmmm.....dont have one i guess, as long as they dont make a huge reach

 

[Nikolokolus]

Ooh tough question! Man ... just one? oof! Ummm ... I guess I'd have to go with Luke Babbitt.

 

[RR7]

Singler

 

[BrianFromWA]

Valanciunas. There's absolutely no way that he's coming over to help this year, whereas even Biyambo or Singler (or Babbitt) has a microscopic, 1-in-a-million chance of being good and getting minutes. And we need help NOW.

Farther along, I'm not super-enamored of how Burks, Vesely, Thompson would fit our team.

 

[RoyToy]

Seeing as how Biyambo makes Travis Outlaw as a rookie look like Carmelo Anthony, Biyambo.

 

[B-Roy]

Any combo guard will make me vomit.

 

[JDC]

Norris Cole.

I can't stomach another combo guard.

So every pg in this draft besides Kyrie Irving...? lol

But in seriousness, what makes you say he's a combo guard? Have you watched him play, or are you just going by stats?

He was scorer for Cleveland, but in the one full game I watched of him against Butler, I saw a very unselfish guy who might not be an elite passer, but is more than capable of running a team as a back-up pg.

The one thing I really like about him is he plays GREAT defense.

I would love for Portland to take him, but he doesn't seem to be in the Blazers current draft range, but we all know things can change quickly.

Surprised to see guys like Biyombo and Valanciunas show up here. They both would be steals at #21, or are we talking about trade up scenarios?

My do not want guy is Marshon Brooks btw, so I cringed at the rumor that they Blazers where high on him.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Tyler.

If this guy had any more red flags, he would look like the Chinese army on parade.

 

[Nate Dogg]

Josh Selby - so he can dunk on a fast break in his youtube highlights, what about his passing abilities and seeing a set screen and passing the ball to someone near the basket?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

1. tie: Jeremy Tyler and Josh Selby (total headcases, will never even approach their potential)
2. Motiejunas (no "motor", no rebounding, poor man's Bargnani)
3. Davis Bertans (he's a stick! And he really doesn't look athletic.)
4. Marshon Brooks (a Kobe wannabe? Who refers to himself in the third person? Please.)

On the other hand, I would do a little dance if Biyombo dropped to us. I don't get the Travis comparisons (other than: young, super athletic) - Travis always seemed to lack the reflexes for defense. Biyombo is a monster on defense. Bo Outlaw maybe (on steroids) but Travis, no.

Agree with everything here, except I've never heard that Norris Cole plays good defense. Is that your eyeball opinion or based on scouting reports?

 

[Mediocre Man]

If we stay at 21 then I don't have one. If we are able to move up, I want to avoid Biyombo

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

I would compare Biyombo to Ibaka before the other Seattle washouts. Will agree with others that would be glad to get him at 21, but not trading up.

Tyler would be on my list of guys I do not want.

 

[PapaG]

Adam Morrison.

This year? If it's the #21 pick, it doesn't really matter to me.

 

[Ed O]

I'm with those that don't really have a "DO NOT PICK HIM!" guy at #21. Most of the guys I have strong opinions on are lottery guys, and if any of them slip, they'll be a potential steal at #21.

[3RA1N1AC]

Nolan Freaking Smith

 

[riverman]

Raymond Felton

 

[Natebishop3]

Meyers Leonard.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

If I had to keep one between Nolan Smith and Meyers Leonard... I'm taking Leonard. Woof, how bad was Smith?

Oh! I know this one............ bad?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Cole: career 8 PER with a TS% in the mid 40's.

Gross.
