I'm a State guy but I wouldn't take TJ at 9. His outside shot is too inconsistent at the moment and a lot if his "garbage" baskets aren't going to come as easy in the league.

But with that said if he's there at 24 then they should run to the podium with the card with his name on it.

TJ Warren's game is more like Morrison than McDermott's.  Streaky perimeter shooter, but makes a living in mid-range and driving to the basket and shooting floaters in traffic.  That is how Morrison made his living at Gonzaga.

 

Having said that I think TJW will be much better than Morrison in the NBA, not that that is saying much.  But I am a believer in TJW

I realize we all like to poo on Adam Morrison, but he was actually well on his way to being a productive NBA player before he blew out his knee, missed an entire season, and lost most of his quickness (and he didnt start out with much)

 

I mean he wasnt going to be an all-star or anything, but he could have been the first or second guy off the bench

Most forget his first season wasn't all that bad production wise, his knee going out ruined his career. Just no one knew it at the time and expected him to play similar with a better FG% then he did as a rookie and it never happened.

Seeing Warren being compare to Leonard. Would want at 24.

 

I don't think he will fall that far, but if he did I would take him in a heart beat at #24.  I would pull the old Panthers 2 seconds and the pick is in deals.

 

I wouldn't mind Early at #24 either if we go G or PF at #9

I don't think they'd take both McDermott and Warren since they play the same position.  Maybe something like:

 

9 - Stauskas

24 - Warren

 

or

 

9 - McDermott

24 - Hairston

 

Some combination of 2/3.  Like I said in another thread, as long as we get shooters, I'll be happy.  We gotta get some more scoring out there to help Big Al.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
