Anybody Think We Should Trade The No.2 Pick?


Recommended Posts

at the point..the 'cats need to take a chance...

I say take Andre Drummond and do everything humanly possibly to develop him properly.

He was considered the no.1 pick before the cbb season..but he struggled at times at UCONN..which many would argue is due to the coaching situation.

fwiw..just trying to make myself feel better.

If you can't draft some franchise shaping talent at 2nd and 9th, then you might as well give it up. Add those two lottery picks to what we have in Walker and Biyombo and we've got the start of something special. Does it suck to lose the 1st pick? Yeah it does. However, there is no generational talent in this draft. The first overall pick was highly debated up until the tournament. So yeah, time to get the work on identifying the two players you want to help build around.

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
