Very Thunder-like with the one colored paint.

Too much Carolina-Blue. I wish they'd get rid of it in the out of bounds area.

I thought Beal was undersized for a SG, not sure he'd be a fit for a front court :p

He really does play bigger than his size. All of his strengths like rebounding and attacking the rim wouldn't be something you'd expect from a 6'4"-6'5" SG.

I got attached to him during HS...

I realize that. If we are going BPA take Beal in hopes of trading Henderson. It's not like we are making the playoffs this year, so selecting BPA over need shouldn't be an issue.

It just seems...

Yeah but it wouldn't be his primary position. It'd be like playing Henderson at 3 instead of 2.

I guess but I see Royce as more of a 4. Can't shoot and does work in the post.

Who would be our 3? Our 31st pick? FA?

You think who will be in the slam dunk contest? Beal?

Here's how I view it:

If we want to go BPA, we need to go Beal. Who is to say we can't trade Henderson?
If we want to go based on need, we should go MKG or Barnes.
If we trade down to 4, take...

And his form is 10x better. And to be honest, Rose really isn't all that good a shooter.

But I don't like players, especially wings, that rely on their "motor" to score. I'd rather have someone be able to score in a variety of ways while also spreading the floor.

I don't see us taking MKG, unless we traded down far enough where he is the best available.

I don't think he is the long term solution at SF. It's nice that he can hustle and rebound and defend...

I wouldn't say steals are the best way in determining if you are good on defense. Off ball steals are probably based more on the defender on the ball and instincts as an off ball defender. But I...

Makes sense, Beal is just the better prospect. We need to select him and not look back.

I know, it seems like there haven't been much signs pointing to the BPA in Beal for us. But maybe no talk is good under the new regime.

But you just can't dismiss rebounding from the guard position. It's an aded bonus for Beal and it just goes to show that he has no fear in attacking the ball and rim. He will do whatever the team...

Beal has a higher IQ, is a stronger finisher at the rim, more versatile scorer, better on ball defender, and like you said better rebounder.

Who says you don't need rebounding from the guard...

I would want to know why someone would choose Barnes over Beal, other than Barnes being a SF. If we are going to select a perimeter player, why not go with the better one. Yes, we have Hendo but the...

He shot 72% from the field and 43% from the 3 point line in high school.

If people look at stats, especially from one year, to get there information on how people play then you are doing it wrong....

This is what I posted in another thread:

"I personally think Beal is the second best player in this draft and has more superstar potential than T Rob. It's a bit unfortunate that our "best" player...
