Gerald Wallace on being traded

Luckily, I don't think any are coming out.

Shoot, I wouldnt mind HB or Henson. Barnes is going to be a star, and once Henson puts on a little more mass, he's going to be solid in the pros.

I agree with you in that I dont think any of them are coming out this year. Atleast thats what I'm hoping...

(I'm a huge tarheel fan, and want these 3 together atleast one more year)

Rajon Rondo, Wilson Chandler, David Lee, Aaron Brooks were all drafted in the late first round. just to name a few, any time you can get young talent is a good thing. so fail maybe.

Of course you're going to find a few good ones. Gerald Wallace was in the 20's. The majority are not good though. Go look at past drafts i bet the majority of the guys in the 20's are not even in the league anymore.

some are role players but the same could be said about the nfl and its draft. its a crap shot.

I wouldn't say that the 20's aren't good I would just say it depends on the particular draft.

Since the 2000

Draft

These guys have been selected for All Star Games or All-NBA Teams

2000- 19th pick- Jamaal Magloire

2000- 43rd pick- Michael Redd

2001- 19th pick- Zach Randolph

2001- 25th pick- Gerald Wallace

2001- 28th pick- Tony Parker

2001- 30th pick- Gilbert Arenas

2001- 37th pick- Mehmet Okur

2002- 35th pick- Carlos Boozer

2003- 18th pick- David West

2003- 29th pick- Josh Howard

2003- 47 pick- Mo Williams

2004- 20th pick- Jameer Nelson

2005- 17th pick- Danny Granger

2005- 30th pick- David Lee

2006- 21st pick- Rajon Rondo

However, like others have said it's really a hit or miss and a lot of the guys just turn out to be role players.

I mean you just named 15 players in the last 10 years. Picks 20 to 30 thats 85 players that are garbage since then. You named people after the 20's so that makes even more garbage players. The draft is a crap shoot. No poo. What im saying is there is a huge drop off from 20 on down. Really big drop off. 20 on down usually don't come in contribute and start right away. 20's are terrible in the NBA. Not to mention we haven't had great luck in the lottery. The 20's are full of roll players which is fine but we are full of roll players now. We need starters. Here's to getting lucky cause we are going to need it.:cheers2:

i don't think it's as much hit and miss as some of you claim. some teams draft well and some dont. i see the celtics, spurs, hornets, bucks, mavericks, trailblazers, magic in this list, teams that have drafted well historically.

i don't see any bobcats.

    • The reality though is that there just isn't a traditional #1 pick type of player in this draft to begin with. He might have been below Marvin last year, but I don't think he'd have been below Nabers. And if you think he disappears in some college games, then you're only looking at the box scores, I guarantee you not a single NFL GM will say he disappears in games when watching the tape. Arizona's offense is a MESS this year, the new coaching staff is beyond bad and the fanbase is screaming for them all to be fired, our OL is awful, our QB is playing like utter garbage, and we don't have another weapon to attract any defensive attention.  Teams are double and triple teaming him on almost every snap, and when combined with the OL and QB issues, it's just impossible to get him the ball sometimes.  And even when our QB forces the pass to him, half the time it's not even catchable given how poor he's been playing. And even despite all that, he's still 3rd in the nation in yards. I've also seen more WR rankings having Burden over Hunter than I have seen Hunter over T-Mac.  If we had a true outside #1 WR, then taking someone like Hunter (or Burden) instead of T-Mac would make more sense as if Hunter were to play WR in the NFL, he'd more likely be used a slot guy like Godwin or Kupp.   There's a reason most mocks/analysts who don't list Hunter as a CB/WR (or just Athlete) list him as a CB.  Because it's his better position and the side of the ball he's more likely to play in the NFL, partially due to his wire thin frame, I don't see him holding up long term as a WR.
    • This was a good breakdown from Daniels.  Last year has had a lasting impact on Young. He still isn't getting the time needed from the OL - the OL we have is made to establish the run and for the run to be in play.  We get behind and have to throw all game we are doomed with this O-line. His receivers have to catch the ball when he makes a good throw to them, he can't have them dropping his good passes. Why are we running 4 slants all toward the same direction?  Why a triple option on 4th and 1? That's on the coaches. Bryce gets hurried and starts slinging the ball where it shouldn't be thrown, more study and recognition from him are needed.  Bryce doesn't step up in the pocket and throws too soon and unbalanced.  He over and under throws the ball because of it.  That's on him.  If the pocket isn't there and he can't get his base set he needs to check down or "live to fight another day." He has been thrown to the wolves and has lost his confidence.  This team doesn't have much, if any, talent and it's a cluster.  I think he can still be an NFL QB.  Maybe not a QB1 in the short term, but if he has a chance with better coaching and personnel he may be better than we are giving him credit for. I think we ruined him last year and have not fixed anything to help him this year.  If we can't run or get way behind all NFL defenses are coming after him.  Dalton has more respect and defenses didn't always sell out to get to him because he'd hit a quick slant, screen, or check down because he has the experience to know what's coming and what to do. Just my 2 cents.
    • All depends on who the backup is. Josh Allen probably would have been benched too if there were better backups than Matt Barkley and Nate peterman.
