    Kemba is much better than Nolan.

    I love Nolan, I have for a while, and if we don't draft Kemba, then I'd love to get Nolan.

    But I'll take Jason Terry 2.0 over a backup combo guard 10 times of ten.

    Swedd, I know you don't like him, and I totally understand why. However, this team needs his skillset in the worst way. And he'd play well with a CP3 in 2 years...

    I guess a question I keep thinking of is how much better is he than Nolan Smith? The reason I ask is we could definitely draft Nolan with our NO pick (not that I am necessarily for that) and go a different direction with our pick. They bring different things to the table obviously short term but long term, how much difference is there really?
    Compleatly agree if we could get a good s/f with the 10# pick . Smith would be perfect with our second pick . Just saying that if we intend to keep DJ. Smith could back both the one and two. To me a perfect draft would be Barnes and Smith. Is Kemba really going to be that good . I don't know his size don't help'.

    I'm also not a Walker fan for our 1st pick. We already have an undersized PG that can't shoot. Why would we draft an even smaller PG who is an even worse shooter? If the guy can't shoot a decent percentage in college why would he be any better in the NBA? Also, exactly how will he match up defensively with the recent trend of big physical PG's? Also, we already have 2 serviceable PG's on the roster. Who do we pay to sit on the bench so that Walker gets in the game? For a team that is broke that may be a factor.

    If we must go PG I would feel better about Knight. At least he has the physical tools and could develop into a good defensive PG that can, hopefully, learn to score/distribute.

    I would prefer we go with one of the many decent SF prospects that will be available at 10. We are going to need somebody there after we trade Jackson. I agree with those who think that Nolan Smith won't be much better/worse than Walker. If we MUST pick a guard why not get him in round 2 for alot less money and commitment.

    Reggie Jackson. I could definitely see that. He can light the scoreboard up, and has that swagger you need.

    It's not that I don't like him, I'm just not on his nuts. He's an exciting player, so casual fans naturally gravitate towards him.

    The only problem is, he's nowhere near worth the 10 pick. Wed get a much better and valuable player if we took Leonard, TJones, or Hamilton (all in that range) and pick a guy like Smith or Selby with that 20 pick.

    I'm not a big fan of drafting Kemba and I'm worried because this team seems to value college production (which unfortunately has not always transfered over to the pros) over physical tools.

    To be fair though, I had written this guy off several times throughout the tournaments, and he's always come through and keeps winning, so that's a point in his favor. Though we could also say that about college Sean May and Emeka Okafor. Whatever, get a SF.

    OK, me too but the question would be do you want Walker and the 20 pick or Nolan and the 10 pick?

    Depends on who's still there at ten.

    Jordan Hamilton doesn't excite me that high, I don't like Terrence Jones as much as most, but if Leonard is there you have to take him.

    Im thinking Leonard and Hamilton will be around at 20# Its even a chance Jones is. If Burks falls to 10th he would be a steal. I like his game better than Walkers and Knight . But i love a big scoreing point'. Its a lot of options in the top 20# With no sure fire stars to speak of . With a lot of good SFs and points . And no bigs to speak of


    Thanks Ammofan!
