If we end up with the 8th pick

[dav7z]

Who do we take . I have been looking at all the mock drafts i could find and they have us taking this group of players . Yi Jianlian, Joakim Noah, Roy Hibbert, Julian Wright, Jeff Green.
Who do you think would best fit the BOBCATS

[CaptainCrunch]

Yi or Marc Gasol you gotta go the international route

[CaptainCrunch]

and thanks for whoever has been smiting me every time they get on

[dav7z]

Ikoow how a smite feels let me give you a bost. Yi might just be the pick we need . He can jump out for that 15 or 20 footer.
Thoughts about YI and the others

[ziggy]

I'd put Hibbert at the top of that list. Joakim Noah second (but I''m unenthusiastic about drafting him) the other 2 do absolutely nothing for me.
If you add Corey Brewer to that list, I'd take him right behind Hibbert.

i think of those players, hibbert would be the best fit (assuming wallace resigns). Pairing him with okafor would give us a formidable front court and give us another post presence that primoz doesn't give us. i think that if there is any indication wallace is gonna walk, we should draft green or julian wright. we can't afford not to be productive from the SF position and i don't think we can count on morrison to fill it

[dav7z]

Im not a big Noah fan . And hes not my first choice but hes runs the floor well rebounds and seams a perfect for a run and gun offence. Hes a energy player and gives his all. IN A RUN AND GUN HE [MAY] JUST BE A GOOD FIT FOR US. thoughts

[tamburello]

Shortly..
1st Hibbert
if not available 2nd Yi Jianlian

I think either one will be available at 8th spot.

I like Yi, Brewer, Horford and Brandon Wright with the pick, but it's looking like none will be there at 8. So it looks like Julian Wright or Jeff Green to back up Gerald Wallace. Its upsetting though, this team really needed better out of this draft. Damn that season-ending winning streak! Totally pointless IMHO.

I don't like Hibbert unless he's brought in to backup Okafor at Center. That would be OK. But moving Okafor to PF is a mistake it really is. Why would you take a guy who is an elite shot blocker; a nearly all-star caliber Center who clogs the middle so well - and move him to PF so someone much less skilled can fill that space? Kind of like playing Felton at SG in my opinion. Hibbert seems pretty overrated to me. Let someone else make that mistake.

If they take Hibbs or god-forbid Hawes with this pick, I'll be very dissappointed.

Jesus - I've graduated from Kareem Rush to Othella Harrington?!!!? Okay I see there's little respect here, very little respect.

i don't think hawes would be a bad pick, he'll just need a year to be productive. he's got some polished post moves from what i've seen, something emeka can't say but emeka has improved so much there.

Get to 75 posts, and you'll be Alan Anderson... :wink:

If Brewer, Hibbert, and Jianlian are all there when we pick I'd take them in that order. Brewer is my first choice. He's a lanky 2 guard who is starting to get is offense going. Hibbert my second choice for his interior defense, and Jianlian 3rd becaue he can stretch the defense with his outside shot. Plus he's a pretty good ball handler.

jianlian is very intriguing to me. he seems like one of those boom or bust players. like he could be dirk or he could be like zaza pachulia. hopefully if we draft him we'll get the former

As long as he's not a choke artist in the playoffs like Dirk.

[Dead_Real]

I'm still really high on Hibbert if we end up at that 8 or 9 spot.

haha that is very true

same here, but some of the mocks have him going before he would get to us at #8.

[Wallace15]

I've seen a couple of mocks that have us taking Noah over Hibbert.
If that happened I would literally cry......not really but I would be pissed.

[ziggy]

Noah is a bust waiting to happen. He has no post game, no jumpshot. Hes just a high energy player and nothing else.

[Wallace15]

Noah is one of the most overrated players I've ever seen come out of college. He'll be nothing in the NBA. He has no offense and people overrated his defence.
