I dont know if rookie C is the answer to the D woes, but it sure is nice having an GM like Mitch. 

Oh I agree. I think ideally we package 1 pick and PJ, Kelly, whomever and pick up a vet C. Not sure that will happen, but like you , I feel good about Mitch

Dam does it feel good, not worrying about some dumbass moves being repeated over and over.... Mitch has drafted about as well as he could and hes been a god in the 2nd. If you look at the roster, I think Mitch has turned over the whole roster in just 3 years. Got young talent and thats always been the biggest issue

Im not up-to-date with NBA players, but using one of the picks for some interior defender must be on the table. 

No worries with Mitch calling the shots.

Williams might have passed Duren with his measurements at the combine. Duren didn’t even measure, which teams might take as a red flag. If either falls to us and we can find a defensive-minded wing at 15 and a coach who can instill some toughness, then the roster should be in good shape. I’m not a huge fan of trying to pay a vet center to come in and fix all of our defensive woes. Paying a center creates holes on the wing, which are too important in the playoffs. And defense requires buy-in from everybody; even the Jazz can’t just have Gobert bail them out all the time.

I do think Duren is shorter than listed just from watching his games. I think he's somewhere between 6'9.5-6'10. But I don't think that will be a huge deal. Even with measurements I like him over Williams. Williams is too heavy footed for me that will limit him defensively and keep him off the court in the playoffs. My concern with Duren is can he defend without fouling. I like his aggressiveness but the foul trouble also kept him off the court a lot last year.

I’m locked in on Malaki Branham with the 13th pick and Mark Williams with the 15th pick if we do indeed keep both picks.

I’m also intrigued by Ousmane Dieng should we want to swing for the fences.

Additionally, if A.J. Griffin happens to fall to 13 then we need to sprint to the podium to take him.

In the second round, I’d double dip at the center position and take Christian Koloko.

I’m a UNC guy but would love Williams here. Would fill a need. He can’t shoot but seems to do a lot of things we’ll. 

Agreed…I think he has upside offensively but he is already a great defender and solid rebounding center with crazy length.  He was Duke’s best player last season IMO

I heard a good comparison for him as a healthy Greg Oden and I personally like that comp

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
