JTB Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Let the Tavares jokes ensue. lol Loved Simmons joke about opening both car doors. lol As for the pick... Love it. LONG player, true center, and now we almost have an overload of bigs considering Muscala, Pero, Bebe, Payne, and Tavares, not to leave out Sap, Scott, and Horford. Tavares will likely be stashed tho. Oh, and Diesel nailed it. Wow!...right on point @Diesel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 I'd rather go hard after Parsons on day 1 and force the Rockets hands. What do you think the chances are of the Rockets letting us have him to get his cap off the books while they pursue a star? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruckus Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 I'd rather go hard after Parsons on day 1 and force the Rockets hands. EXACTLY my thoughts as well. Holy crap we would be a very talented and deep squad. Raining 3's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrReality Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 He's probably a couple years away but we could have our two bigs for the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lush23 Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Hate the pick! After drafting Payne, Ferry puts out a statement saying that Payne fits the Hawks style of Pace and Space basketball. Taveras obviously doesn't fit that style of play. Today's NBA is about ball movement and 3pt shooting. I would have moved up in draft to go after KJ McDaniels or Joe Harris. Our backup at SF last year was freakin Cartier Martin! Instead we sit tight and draft a giant stiff, when we already have BeBe in the pipeline. Another wasted pick by Ferry. I did like the Payne pick however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patterson may very well be better as a pro than McDaniels. He's WAY, WAY better at shooting 3's so I'm pretty excited about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrReality Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 I wonder how much coaching he's gotten in his short career. He could play with the Pacers big. Ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's WAY, WAY better at shooting 3's so I'm pretty excited about that. Dude, he is. I can't believe after teams past on Wes Matthews that Patterson was available but this was a deep draft.

DJlaysitup Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Can we bring in the "Bearded Lady" as a Free Agent?No offense to Walter - but this pick makes us look pretty silly....or desperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High5 Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 How can anyone hate drafting a 22-year-old mammoth in the 2nd round? I love the pick. We have some tremendous upside at the C position right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJlaysitup Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) Wow:"21 years old, from Cape Verde. He plays in the ACB. Started to play the game 3 years ago. 7-2, raw, but a very interesting prospect. Has become a starter this year and is leading the league in blocks per game.Today he made a very good game against probably the best team in Europe right now, Real Madrid, putting 16 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks in just 28 minutes..."+++Well shoot - maybe you are right and I'm just bummed that we didn't do what I thought we should do. You give me hope... Edited June 27, 2014 by DJlaysitup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazer Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 I was hoping for Tavares with the 43rd pick, thought I posted something to that effect a few weeks ago but can't seem to find the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
