From my earlier response to your question on Plumlee:

I don't have faith that he can be the dependable 20+ post scorer we need.

Okay, but just because he is not a 20+ post scorer means we shouldn't pick him? Also, there is only 1 player in the NBA who is a 20+ post player so waiting for one of those to come along is a bit of a pipe dream don't you think?

McLemore will be a decent bench guy. He's not a starting SG on a good team. He's not a great 3 pt shooter either. He's not bad, but not great.

I'm still waiting on a great promising player that we can call a future superstar/all-star..

Btw, i've seen many of Plumlee's games at Duke but do we really need him? I would rather draft a lot of other players than him.

As of this point, I only want us to keep growing and drafting good. We need to get a stud out of this draft.

Very good breakdown video's on all the top prospects:

It's fine saying we need a stud out this draft but let's be realistic. First of all how's my studs are there going to be in the draft and what's the likelihood were in a position to draft them?

Good question, but for some reason I think we'll draft a better player than MKG (No disrespect to MKG, he's my favorite player on the team). All we need is one more promising player and we'll be just like we were at the beginning of the season. Aka a team that's promising and is also doing okay.

studs? not sure at all how many (if any). likelihood we are in position: extremely high. we will be a top 5 lottery ball team.

I agree chef, it's just people are saying we need a star from this draft, or swedd said need a 20+ post player... Yes these are all things we need but were not going to find that in this draft I'm afraid, even with the number 1 pick.

So back to my original question, if we were drafting 5-10 would Plumlee (pf, athletic, rebounder, scorer) be a good pick for us?

Wait a second, I said we need a 20 ppg post scorer this draft? I must have missed that
