Outlook and Wish-list for 2013


Recommended Posts

we r gonna draft a kid with less offense than a downed syndrome 5 year old and has never played a college game. woah i think its a little too soon for that, buddy.

Okay bro. I'll see you in a year when you're riding all over Noel's nuts. And then when we loose out on him, you're gonna blame Stern for fixing the draft again. Haters gonna hate. A bunch of bandwagoner in this forum.

Chuck I'm telling you don't get your hopes up on Noel.

1. He's not Anthony Davis. Davis has some guard skills and a jump shot from 17 to 3 point

range. Noel doesn't have any offensive skills.

2. Noel won't be a 5 in the pros. He is a lanky PF not a center.

3. Zeller and Austin are the better 5 prospects. Both have a actual post up game.

Noel doesn't.

C. Zeller, while unbelievably agile beneath the rim, is in no way, imo, a NBA center prospect. Zeller will be dependent on continued development in the skills department to be a legit top tier prospect.

As far as Noel.. He's going into his freshman year, we need to cool the expectations a bit. Give the kid a chance to play. If he were coming straight from HS, I would project him as a lottery bubble player. Kid has very little skill right now. Great raw ability on the defensive end though. A lot of promise for him as a prospect on that end of the floor. But again, he isn't some sure fire pick where he is now.

Austin, who I like, is in the same mold as Noel. They have center potential, but that really about sums up his game. Potential.

I like all three prospects and would be happy to add any of them, but I'd be just as happy, if not more happy to add James Michael McAdoo, who is another prospect oozing with potential.

Shabazz Muhammad is about the truest prospect IMO. He is ready to play in the league now.

Personally, I think we should approach our C problem through free agency. FA centers that have been in the league awhile have developed more physically. Imagine what Dwight Howard is going to do with that twig Anthony Davis. The idea of developing a young team doesn't mean you have to replace every position on the floor with a lottery pick, that take's way to long. By 2013 we need to put ourselves in position to sneak into the playoffs. We're not going do that with a twig center since it's such a physical position. (It has taken Roy Hibbert several years to develop.). It's possible that we don't even need to overpay one guy. Maybe we should just invest in a solid, physical rotation, then we can draft a guy to develop over several years.

We're doing the right thing by drafting young players that play the positions that rely on quickness, there's more immediate effectiveness there.

As far as 2013, it really depends on the progress of MKG, If he can show flashes, and the ability to score then we build around him. If he struggles then we need to make the proper adjustments regarding FA and the draft.

obviously, we'll have a top 3 pick, and will need to pick the best player available.

I hope it's not a center. Centers aren't winning championships (Dirk is a forward). I hope we

get a lightning rod player, not matter the position. We've got a team full of pieces, and we're

still waiting on a star.

Tyson Chandler was the center and without him Dallas doesn't win. And without Gasol or Bynum the Lakers don't win.

Then what about the Celtics they only won with Perkins they lost when he got hurt. More teams with Centers have won championships then teams without the last 20 years.

Every team has a center, but Chandler, Bynum and Perkins aren't the reason their teams won a championship.

The reason is a star caliber player....Dirk, Kobe, Garnett. Howard is the best center in the league, and Orlando is not a factor.

I know what you're saying, but I'd rather see us get the best player, and I hope it's not a center. We can find someone to fill

the position of center, but you can't find someone to be Dirk, Kobe, or Garnett.

Yup that's very true also. It's hard for Orlando to win even though they have the best center in the league. I think trying to say that you need to have a big man to win a championship is incorrect.

In today's NBA, you need a star caliber scorer. Someone who can score in any form, either from a jumper or driving to the basket.

My only reason to say that we should take Noel or Zeller is that, the center position is our weakest position on the team right now. And by drafting one of them, it would help solidify our roster a bunch. But I'm not counting out Shabazz Muhammad. Shabazz will be a franchise player in this league to come. He will def be a KD, James, Kobe type of player. The face of the franchise.

For MacAdoo, it's still a distance until anyone really think he's deserve to be a top 3-4 prospect. He has a ton of potential and is physically gifted but has shown little. If his performance this up coming season rises, he could be the guy for us, and we could play Bismack at C. But well see.

Right now I got Noel, Shabazz, then Zeller going into next year.

That's Bullshit. Without Chandler Defense Dallas doesn't win plain and simple.

Just because the center are not the focus of their teams offense like (Ewing, Hakeem, Robinson) doesn't mean they didn't play a big part in winning teams. Chandler gave Dallas something they didn't have DEFENSE. Perkins inside allowed KG to roam outside and help him on the Boards and defense. When he got hurt they lost to the Lakers.

Without Gasol Kobe wouldn't have won his Championships after Shaq left.

People act like this Miami team has been winning for years without a center. No this was 1 year where that happen and you need to have a Lebron Bosh and D Wade like combination for that to work. Only 1 team has that.

D Wade doesn't win his 1st Championship without Shaq.

I keep hearing that we could end up with a second 1st round pick in 2013 (Chicago?). Can someone explain to me how that work and how and when we would get the other 1st from Detroit with the Ben Gordon's trade???????

Please answer my questions, but with that said if we end up with two high 1st round picks in 2013, I want us to take SG Shabazz Muhammad and PG Myck Kabongo. I love Noel and Zeller but I think Shabazz will become that cant miss player in the draft and will star from day 1 like a KD or Lebron. If we do end up with that no.1 pick next year and Noel or Zeller do live up to the hype, Id weigh in the option of trading it to where we could still land Shabazz and add a PG like Kabongo, if we doesnt have a second 1st rd where we can be within reach to grab Kabongo.

With news of us in trade talk of adding Kris Humphries through the Dhoward trade, Im all up for it. Would love to see Humphries and Biyombo play together for our front court. Id also like to see if we could lure Jamison here to lead this team for the future.

Here's my new 2013 wish list:

PG: Kemba / Kabongo

SG: Shabazz / Gordon / Hendo

SF: Kidd-Gilchrist / Taylor

PF: Humphries / Jamison

C: Biyombo / Mullens

    • 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.
    • Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.
