Don't we already have a healthy PJ3 IN JJJ?

What some people are missing is that even if Danny liked PJ3 better then JJJ, they play the same position.  Add KG, Jeff Green and Sullinger into the mix and how many PFs can we have??

Well Houston has 7 so I think 5 would be cool.

They're completely different players. PJIII is a SF/PF, JJJ is strictly a PF. PJIII has some handle, JJJ has zero handle. PJIII has a high ceiling (if he works hard that is, kid has all the tools to be a star) and I personally think JJJ's ceiling is a role player in the NBA. I think we're going to regret passing up PJIII, I remember how upset I was when we took JR Giddens over D'Andre Jordan a few years ago. I got the same feeling in my stomach last night.

PJ III is not a lock there's a reason he fell.

You're also giving JJJ no credit for being a FAR superior defender.

I like PJ3 because he is a 3 that is 6 11. He can guard multiple positions without being out of position and is more athletic. JJJ cant play the three slot.

I'd say Green is more of a 3 than a 4 and has played better there since he was in college. Hopefully Sullinger can contribute early/Doc plays him so that if Jeff comes back he can get playing time at the 3 while JJJ and Sullinger grab the backup 4 minutes.

Nope, PJ3 is purely potential. He has potential to be a star. JJJ produced very well but nowhere near as much potential, whereas PJ3 had a very average college career and enourmous potential. JJJ doesn't have that potential which is why he went 27th(?)in a weak draft.
 I think Johnson has potential. He is already at about an Amir Johnson level in my opinion. He still needs to bulk up but he won't be a real back to the basket guy more of a pick and pop Still a quality player. Verdict is still out on him. 

Um, you do know PJIII went 28th in an overhyped draft.  Guy was drafted afeter Miles Plumlee for gods sake.

How can you say overhyped? We haven't seen a single player play in the NBA. For all we know all 7 of the top 7 could be all stars. Likely won't happen but how do you know? This is suppossed to be one of the deepest drafts ever. Also PJ3 is red flagged(as if he wasn't risky enough). No question he is a top 10 talent, he just probably won't pan out. 

This draft was SUPPOSED to be one of the best but that was before guys like Drummond and Barnes and Lamb and yes, pjiii failed to improve.
