The Pick Two Draft Thread 2011

[StartOrien]

He's still wildly inconsistent, but I think if he can continue to get steady minutes we'll keep seeing steady improvement out of him. And I like pairing Cousins with an athletic, wide bodied shot blocker.

You're going to make sure you hire an amazing strength and conditioning coach to motivate your front line.  Cousins and Jordan have a ton of raw physical skill, but neither are known for being particularly self-motivated.

Let's just say that I'm not all that concerned

The center crop is drying up quickly.  In terms of talent / present day ability, I'd say this is a bit of a reach.  In terms of the depth at the center position, though, I understand the pick. 

It is a reach, and I had one offer to move just slightly back. But the way I looked at it, if I lost out on him I'd be in a real scramble. Plus, I'm a big fan of DeAndre so I can take some solace in that.

I think DeAndre could be a shabby pick next to Amare

But

I think I smell something

[Edgar]

One trade will be soon announced

[Rondo2287]

I know it may be a bit early for him, but he won't be here when I pick next, and he rounds out my starting 5 perfectly.  Gives Minny a very very good defensive squad and a balanced scoring team.


PG:Jameer Nelson
SG: Tayshaun Prince
SF:Paul Pierce
PF: Rashard Lewis
C: Joakim Noah

Is Noah as dominate at C to allow Lewis to start at PF and the team to be successful deep in the playoffs?

Tayshaun is a little of a reach at the 2
Noah is injuried.

[Who]

Indiana (2nd round 6th pick) would be interested in trading down.

Looking for a mid to late second rounder + improved draft position in later rounds.

Noah is Injured right now yes, but is on the way back and was having an All Star season prior to the thumb injury.  And according to Thibbs he is on track and is in great shape.

Tayshaun isnt that big of a stretch, he defends 2 guards pretty well.

And once you show me a team in this league that can take advantage of a Noah and Rashard frontcourt I will think about whether or not they can go deep into the playoffs.  

In order to take advantage of it you need two bruisers that can score 20+ and one of which can also defend Lewis away from the basket.
