    Default 2013 lottery big men

    Thought I'd focus on this group since we could use one of them moving forward. Anybody have strong opinions on these guys?? This is about the extent of my knowledge so far:

    Zeller:
    Extremely efficient, effective scorer in the post. (something we need)
    Solid rebounder. (something we need)
    Hasn't shown outside shot in college.
    Length/T-Rex concerns (as with all the Zellers)

    Noel:
    Great shotblocker

    Len:
    Don't know much about him.

    Gobert:
    Extreme length, and good mobility. But when I watch his highlights, I struggle not to think "Alexis Ajinca".

    ---Thoughts on these guys or any other bigs??

    I would normally say take Noel... But we have the same issue with drafting Drummond last year. either one would have to pair with Biyombo. We can't have two such offensively raw bigs on the rosters, personally I would probably prefer Noel to Biz... That's coming from a guy who loves Biz as well.

    Kema Walker The Core, The Future...
    Bizmack Biyombo
    Jeffrey Taylor

    Zeller isn't impressive at all. Draft Noel

    Zeller is the only big at present i would want. we desperately need a scoring threat on the block.

    Well from everything i've read zellar projects as a PF, so i don't see how he'd be a major upgrade over mullens. And i also don't see Noel being a big upgrade over biyombo either. If we had to choose from the bigs this year i would go with len all the way. He's a legit 7-1 center who can rebound,block shots, and score in the post. And he's only getting better. I'm not saying he's great at any one of those things yet,but his overall size and skill set projects much better to the pros in my opinion. I honestly hope we get shabazz muhammed this year. We need a go to scorer and he could legitimately fill that role down the road. Kemba,MKG,and Muhammed with Sessions,Taylor,And Henderson of the bench would set us up very well for the future in my opinion. But who knows. Right now this draft is a crap shoot.

    At least Noel knows how to play basketball. I'd rather have him over bismack. I've never seen a player so unpolished like Biyombo. Noel has a lot of potential, what do we have to lose by drafting him?

    Biz is still being developed. He has an extra year or two before we see what hes truely about.

    I agree, but to me Noel gives you all the intangibles Biz has but is a little more developed and well rounded
    Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
    Kema Walker The Core, The Future...
    Bizmack Biyombo
    Jeffrey Taylor

    Would rather take a chance on Noel anyway. This draft is weak and this kid Nerlens has a lot of potential. Tbh Biz's ceiling isn't as high as Noel's the most I think he can average is 10 & 10
