[Slam]

What position do you think we need more? SG or C or should be just take the best available?

Tough call because it depends on who the players are.

I really think we need to get EO50 some help but if the choices are Thabeet or Marcus Williams, I go Marcus Williams.

If the choices are Jianlian or Brandon Rush, I go Jianlian

Know what I mean?

How do you guys feel about Roy Hibbert out of Georgetown? Hes impressed me a lot more than Thabeet has from the little that I've seen of both players this season.

I would definitely not be opposed to him at all. I think a lot of the reason why Hibbert has impressed more is because he's a junior on a more experienced team. Thabeet, however, is 18, a freshman, on a team that starts 3 freshman and 2 sophmores.

I would not be opposed to either. Thabeet is better on defense, while HIbbert is a better post scorer. Thabeet has a LOAD more athleticism, quickness, and has a higher ceiling.

So it's either a more seasoned guy with better offense and decent defense, or a potential Dikembe Mutumbo who's in his first year out of high school.

I'll take THabeet based on Okafor's success at Uconn from being a raw player to a low post stud. He's a bigger risk, but more reward.

Hibbert = Zydrunas Illgauskas with the soft hands, size, scoring ability and decent defense.
Thabeet = Mutumbo = shot blocker, raw, scoring potential.

I'll lean towards defense because defense wins championships!

P.S. Just give me either and I'll be pleased

[CaptainCrunch]

Hibbert is a baller but I agree with 123 Horford would also be a great pickup

[Knightz]

The Bobcats most pressing need is a Shooting Guard or Centre.

Bring Lewis in and the Small Forward position is settled.

Voshkul(sp?) is a bum, Emeka is a PF, Sean May spends half of his day at McDonalds and that's really all there big men.

Bring Lewis in and the Small Forward position is settled.

What do you call Crash and Ammo?

[dav7z]

You resign Crash for 10 mil a year and for get about Lewis for a 100 mil . We still got to resign Okafor , Get the best big we can in the draft and all so get the best s/g we can in the draft .OR trade both picks to get Derant.

[rallydurham]

No way anyone would take both our picks for Durant.

I doubt we could offer our next three first rounders honestly. ('07, '09, '11 since you cant trade consecutive picks)

Thats how sought after Oden/Durant are

[Bobcat Heart]

i think we defenitly need to take a big man like Greg Oden. But since we wont get him i feel that Roy Hibbert would be the next best choice. I mean we just arent getting it done on the inside. Sure with okafor we got some power. its just primoz isnt the type of caliber player we need to get better. We dont need durrant with okafor and g force. And morrison will come through. All thats left in center, and with roy hibbert displaying that he is just as good or better in the final 4 game today, i think roy could be a huge differnce maker.

Also he is way better than Thabeet. I mean UCONN is my favorite team and i would love to see another huskie on the bobcats, but thabeet hasnt had the experiance that hibbert has. Look at how well uconn did compared to geogretown. Roy is used to winning and knows how to do it, against other high caliber players in presuure situations

Man, I agree with you roughly. Hibbert seems like he'll heal all our pains, if we wouldn't get Oden. But what if we get 2nd pick and Oden is selected with 1st? It looks extremely difficult to pass on Durant. If we pass him it'd remind me 1984 draft: 1. Olajuwon, 2. Bowie, 3. Jordan. 2007 draft: 1. Oden, 2. Hibbert, 3. Durant.

Hope Hibbert won't be a Bowie.
