Sigh. I was merely making a joke about his hair giving him a couple extra inches of height. Didn't mean to start this crap again.

Fine, let's just agree that it's done with.
Noel is having technically just as good of a season as Greg Oden had his year at Ohio State. He's scoring about 5 ppg less, that's the only column he's not equal or better in. More blocks and roughly the same rebounds.
I have a huge man crush on Bennett's game. Love the way he plays. Reminds me of Millsap but more athletic. Saw an insider article that said our front office really likes him.
Problem with Mclemore is that he has alot of trouble creating his own shot. Thats definitely something we don't need. I like Shabazz's game and the way he attacks more than Ben's game. They're roughly shooting the same pct from the floor and behind the arc.
Unless we can lock up Millsap in free agency then I think we need to draft Bennett and then grab a SG with Portland's pick, seeing as how we'll probably get it this season
It would be awesome going to a Charlotte HORNETS game next year wearing flat-tops..
Bennett has good rebounding potential and seriously can score from ANYWHERE on the floor. Can we say that about any other big man in this draft?? Compared to the rest of them, he truly intrigues..... (Barkley meets LJ?)Quote:

I know this is fascinating for everyone....
I really like Isaiah Austin and would really love for us to get him with the Portland pick if we do get it. Tonight he had 17 points and 21 boards (12 offensive) against Oklahoma. On the season he's averaging 14.5 PPG and 8.8 RPG. With some added weight i think he can be a really good big man and he can shoot a little 3.
We traded for Isaiah Austin last yearQuote:

I see him as a much better version of Mullens. They are similar players but Austin has a lot more potential than Mullens in my opinion. While his inside game does need some improvement he still is effective down low and does try and do to much outside shooting unlike Mullens. I think Austin can be a much better rebounder than mullens and possibly become around a 15 and 10 guy. He is only a freshman so obviously he is still young and right now he is listed at 7'1 and on draftnet it says that he could grow another inch or two (not sure how accurate that is).
