They are so very different.  Can’t see where you came up with that.

Here is the last season in college for each:

.432 FG, .361 3PT, .774 FT on 4 attempts, 6.1 REB, 2.3 AST, 1.3 STL, 0.7 BLK, 17.5 PTS/g

.520 FG, .438 3PT, .783 FT on 4 attempts, 5.1 REB, 2.0 AST, 0.6 STL, 0.6 BLK, 15 PTS/g

Both touted for defense and effort, with creative limitations.  Neither can get their own offense.  Prince turned out to be an average defender and a fairly decent shooter.  Hunter needs to better in both areas.  Hopefully he can be, if he's the pick.

Btw - take the best player at 10.  Don’t have to lock in on a center.

I agree.  I still say it's Fernando, but I know 90% disagree.

So when we pass on Hunter, he's set to slide.

And he pulled out of the combine. You think we promised him something way back then ? Encouraged him not to let other teams see him?

[txsting]

I know that Hunter played on the slowest pace team in the NCAA, and on a defense that did not encourage gambling.  So you might have to buff his stats a bit to honestly analyze him.

I have no idea how you can dislike Hunter but want to draft Claxton at 10.  Weird

I don't dislike Hunter.  At first (after the draft lottery) he seemed the obvious choice.  But the more I watched him I don't see what would prompt us to make the trade we did for him.

Claxton is rising draft boards fast and think he goes pretty high.  I mean, I'm a fan.  I'm kind of set on getting a big.  I know sometimes these GM's are thinking BPA, but since they don't have a f***ing idea who that is, why not build a team?

[txsting]

These GMs think they know everything, and their pride gets them to do some crazy stuff.  It's interesting to watch them work.

I'd say it was pretty unknown about what Prince's defense would be with the Baylor scheme.

I like the highlights of the post up, the quick hands, and 44 from 3.  I usually scoff at Chauncey’s comparisons but I like the Jae Crowder floor.  Seems like a cool kid.

Good analysis being that they zoned so much . Bad scouting on buds and staff end 

[pimp]

only the wizards between us and Cam or Sekou or a Center

i have a feeling that the Hawks are taking Clarke at 10
