it's a system thing...he has the size, strength, and athletic ability to compete with 4s at this level and will fit nicely in Skiles' system

You were right, I was wrong. :D

It'll be interesting to see who is available for the Bucks at 37....They are set at the 1,4, and 5 so they'll probably look at a young 2, maybe 3.

Look for Gary Forbes to be the pick

I'd like to see a backup center. Get rid of Gadz.

Gadzuric brings it on the defensive end though and with three years remaining on his not so attractive deal it may be hard to move him

But who thought that we'd be able to move Bobby Simmons? Gadz could be used to even out the salaries of another trade for a veteran player.

I didn't think a team would be willing to take Simmons so you bring up a point, but not every GM is as questionable at decision making as Kiki

I'd like to see DeAndre Jordan selected by us....he could sit forever and when he finally develops the Bucks could move Bogut to the 4 and have Alexander at the 3

That's what I'm thinking about. Gives us some flexibility with Bogut being a free agent after the season too. I just wonder if Hammond is willing to take on a project?

why not??? It's a 2nd round pick and we don't necessarily have to fill a major backup need with Sessions, Bell, Mason, Villanueva, and Gadzuric here

Because he appears to want high effort guys who can contribute right away. Jordan is raw so he likely wouldn't have played that much, if at all as a rookie. Moot point now that the Clippers got him.

Forbes will be the pick now, IMO.

Chris Dougles-Roberts for me

Kampman for President · 06-26-2008, 09:58 PM

lol, someone actually predicted this pick in a 2 round mock.

princefielder28 · 06-26-2008, 09:59 PM

Luc Richard Mbah a Moute = defense

We'll have to nickname him "mamba"

Kampman for President · 06-26-2008, 10:21 PM

Ah, reportedly he was drafted for Miami.

i hope we sent Mo Williams with him :)

Kampman for President · 06-26-2008, 10:42 PM

Now they are saying its a misprint and that he's still a Buck. It was Chalmers that was traded, not Mamba.

Alexander is no stiff. I went to WVU and followed the kid's rise and he's a local product here in Maryland as well.

He's an athlete, no doubt, but has been a bit of a one year wonder, really coming on in the later half of last season. But he's got an excellent motor and a serious competitive streak.

He could definitely use good fundamantal coaching and it will definitely take some time to get the kid's best. He'll get schooled for a few years by better and more experienced players but I have hopes he'll develop into an excellent player.

I meant stiff laterally. Yes he's athletic but but I don't see the quickness needed to become a consistant scoring option or defender. Hopefully he works out for us though.

I wouldnt doubt he could take the starting spot by the end of the year, just skeptical that he'll get it immediately.

Either way, if these guys can play together and learn a little defense we could have a real nice team next year. Jefferson is just so solid at the 3 and just solidifies that position so much. I wont have to worry about seeing CV at the 4 and Yi playing the 3 anymore or anything like that and no bobby simmons with much less Desmond Mason the way it looks, instead for 35 minutes a night, Jefferson is playing there.

I hope we can make some more trades or something to get one more solid big guy in there as a backup. Not a superstar or anything but something like a PJ Brown-type player where he wont be great or anything, but can handle being a solid backup at the 4 or 5 and I wont have to watch Gadz in there as much and pull hair out in disgust...

Mo Williams still could be on the move

I think Miami remains a possible landing spot for Mo. I imagine the Bucks would get a deal back including PG Marcus Banks, who would actually fit Skiles defensive oriented style very well.

If Mo is dealt, Miami still seems like a good fit in terms of what we need in return. I still think we need a more defensive rebounding oriented PF on the roster since all we have are spot-up, offensive-type PFs and Haslem could fit that mold well, especially with him becoming quite expendable with the drafting of Beasley. Mo's got a 7.5 mil cap figure and Haslem is a little over 6, so it wouldnt be hard to make the deal work with some fillers and us getting maybe draft picks or something along with the deal.
