Who is the pick?

[hoss89]

It looks like we will be in top three picks. How do you guys rate the guys coming out? If Aldridge is there dont we have to get him? Or is it thomas or morrison? What position would Thomas play?

I\'ve been on the Adam Morrison bandwagon for the last few months, but before I can be completely sold on him, I want to see how he does in the predraft workouts. Does he have the quickness to play solid NBA defense. One thing that we do know is that he can put the ball in the basket, and the Bobcats desperately need more of that.

I\'m a big Rodney Carney fan, and if we wind up with the 4th pick or lower then he should get serious consideration. Supposedly he has Vinsanity-type athleticism.

Lamarcus Aldridge, I\'m not too sure about. If he can bulk up to play center at the NBA level, then I\'d be more willing to pick him. I\'ve only seen him play a few times and each of those he had bad games, so thats all I have to judge him on.

Once again, Welcome to the board, make yourself at home!!!

If Joakim Noah can play center then I pick him ahead of Aldridge, If not then I\'d take Adam Morrison.

If you draft Aldridge you could play him at center and Okafor at the power forward. With Aldridge\'s length, and Okafor\'s shot blocking, they would be able to shut down the lane.

Aldridge is going to have to hit the weight room and put on some muscle if he is going to play center and not get destroyed in the NBA.

If hes on the board, you have to take Adam Morrison pure and simple. We need the scoring, hes going to be a big time scorer. Its a perfect fit.

Heelfan, As the draft gets closer, it looks like there is a growing concern about Adam Morrison, and the possibility that he may be overhyped.

Honesly, this year\'s draft is a waste of time. None of these players would even be top 10 if last year\'s class was coming out this year.

I wouldn\'t be surprised to see a lot of trading of picks going on this year, because this draft is so weak that it\'s not even worth wasting a lot of money on these guys coming out.

Hopefully the Bobcats will realize that and trade their pick and a player or two to another team for a good young player.

Every player in this year\'s draft looks overhyped to me. None of them look worth the investment.

On the surface it doesn\'t look too impressive but its drafts like this where the quality GMs seperate theirselves from the rest of the pack, They have to find the diamonds in the rough out of these group of players. For example Brandon Roy, he doesn\'t get a lot of hype, but he has a lot of qualities that could make him a star at the pro level.
We\'ll see what kind of GM skills Bickerstaff has with the way that he handles this draft.
