I was very impressed by Larry Sanders in Vegas. Nice touch on that jumper, very active w excellent weak side shot blocking. Sure, he needs to work on his man d and his d rebounding, but he's capable of being very good at both.

He would have been a VERY interesting fit with Rondo on the p-n-r. And with KG there to to mentor him, you wonder if he would have been a better long term solution for the Cs, or at the very least an easy late round 1st pick buy ala Rondo from the Suns...

The problem is that he was selected at #15.  Teams generally don't sell picks in that range, and we didn't have many trade chips to move up.

Also, of course, Danny loves Bradley.  However, even if he valued Sanders higher, was he worth the cost of trading up?
