There is a very good 2G prospect that tested the nba waters from rice by the name of morris almond. Seniors like this either get overlooked at times--i.e mike redd or because they are from slightly obscure school--like kelvin martin they tend to get overlooked when they cannot do the high flying dunks etc... but can he shoot and score the ball with good athleticm and size at the 2G yes--this is the type of player--probably the range where we will pick maybe 19-24--we hope. Daqeuan Cook is a really good player who is kind of in greg oden shadow but he will be high lottery pick.

I'd love to get my hands on Daquan Cook. I've seen him a few times this year, he looks like he is going to be a VERY good NBA player, but as you said, we have NO chance of drafting this guy because Isiah didn't put lottery protection on our pick or any other Elite 2G for that matter.

Sounds like David Lee agrees with Isiah.
"I don't think it's Eddy's fault, whatsoever," David Lee said. "He's getting double-teamed and guys need to step up and make a play, myself included."

The sad thing is guys were passing up wide open kick outs. I saw like 3-5 plays in a row where Marbury would pass up a wide open 3 pointer and then swing the ball. Every player that swung the ball passed up an open shot to pass to a guy that was not nearly as open till it got to JJ on the other side. It ws sad.
I LOVED how Curry just exploded in the 4th, speaking as a fan of the Raptors, Curry looked well, scary I think is the word. Or Shaq-like Curry: 19.1ppg-7.3rpg-58%fg

BRIGGS- you beat me to the punch. Though about posting about Almond yesterday, but thought it was too early in the season to start talking about prospects for the draft.

Almond is averaging about 30 a game. He has ideal SG size and should/could be around when we pick at 20-24. Alando Tucker wouldn't be a bad pick at that range either but with his improved jumper and clutch play not to mention the stage in the tournament come March, he might not be around when we pick.

BRIGGS or anyone else- have you seen Rodney Stuckey out of Eastern Washington? He's a little short at 2G but is a bulldog, 2 way player.

Isiah has violated team policy by talking disparagingly about his players in the media, not only that, by doing so he is ruining these players trade value by talking about their weaknesses.

The guy is just a joke, if he doesn't like the players on the roster, then he should look at himself in the mirror and say to himself "I did a sh!t job of putting this team together" because in reality he has. I'm glad that our coach/gm/president JUST got that the memo that Crawford and Marbury are streaky players and that they can't be relied on as players that knockdown a jumper from outside.

And honestly, what the hell does Isiah have against David Lee? The guy is OBVIOUSLY bashing him in the media and he's been one of the few players who have put up, instead of shutting up, to try and save this idiots job! How has Isiah repayed Lee? He plays him whacked out minutes, which most of the time have no rhyme or reason to them. Isiah's been here 4 seasons now, the team absolutely SUCKS, we have no lottery pick and we're still in salary cap hell.

FIRE ISIAH NOW

Good post. Isiah is such a joke. I can see the press conference now when he trades Lee. "David brought us energy off the bench but he was redundant with Jefferies."

I truly believe that in any other situation David Lee is an all star next season. He's going to develop that baseline jumper and he's going to give you 16 and 12 for the next 8 seasons.

Our only hope is that Dolan put the gag order on Isiah this year and fires him the day after the draft.

None of this is Isiah's fault. Don't forget that Layden brought us Eisley, Anderson & Weatherspoon, and Larry Brown did a bad job last year.

"I think they're both the same offensive threat, which is not much,"


Is David Lee and OFFENSIVE THREAT ?
or is he a hustle guy ? We know his going to give us a double double every night. somewhere around 10-12 pts and double digit rebounds.

So where in his comments is he taking a stab at lee. If I was Lee, I would more take it as an insult if he said I wasnt a force on defense or I didn't hustle. But he is just saying what the scouting report by every other NBA team is saying. DLEE is not an OFFENSIVE threat. So stop making this out to be a IT is disrespecting his manhood. It's getting redundant.

I hope Jeffries, Lee, Crawford, Steph, Steve, Cato, Mardy don't create a palace coup against Zeke for what he's doing.

Jefferies/James wasted midlevels in back to back seasons, frankly i don't see anything jefferies brings to the table, defense included. Balkman is the better finisher, rebounder and shot blocker. Jefferies is not a really good defender lets be honest, if he were the glue guy i find it hard to believe the wizards would have let him go, with their complete lack of defense....

D Lee has a better outside shot, is one of the best finishing big man taking the ball to the basket and can get you points if you need him too

I agree James and Jeffries was a waste. I would of rather kept Jackie and play Balkman and sign CAto. But when in the GM position you have to plan for the future, you don't know that Balkman is going to be this good in his first year. Everyone knocked him for selecting him, but he needed to find someone to play that position. I'm not sure who was available at the time, but I certainly understand the move. The money i guess is just what the market value was at the time. We totally got hosed on the James and Baker deal.

Is Isiah speaking the truth? Probably, although I think Lee is a better offensive threat than he thinks. However, this is the exact same stuff people were accusing Larry Brown of and if he deserves criticism, and even to be fired, for speaking to the team through the media, then Isiah deserves the same treatment. Isiah is a joke.

Are you guys really trying to compare what he sad about Lee to some of the things Next-town-Brown said last yr.

Calling a player "Delusional".
Saying "We don't have a head out there".
Pretty much saying the "Roster stinks" in so many words. Its no comparison.

balkman's a nice player but we still have major holes in our starting long term lineup, like a point guard, shooting guard, small forward and power forward (if we're committed to curry). that's 4 starters we need for the future. balkman's a guy that's a final piece to that mix. we passed on 2 potential starting pg's in consecutive drafts.

Ariza was delusional if he thought he deserved to start and get a lot more minutes.

"We don't have a head out there" was in reference to Marbury and Isiah pretty much said the same things about him earlier this year.

The "Roster stinks" is pretty much what Isiah is saying here.

Again. Larry Brown soley used the Media to take indirect shots and belittle his team. While lacking communication with them man to man. Isiah does not soley use the media to belittle or take indirect shots or belittle his team. Larry Brown was told to stop completely from taking shots at his team because he did it so much. If Brown did it once in a while then I doubt Thomas & Dolan would have had a problem. I guess Brown used up all his team bashing privlages. Plus the players believe that Isiah has there back. So they probably won't take it as bad as when Larry Brown did it. Since they believed Brown just wanted to get rid of all of them anyway.

It's nice to see that after 3 years of GM'ing Isiah is realizing that he needs to find a building block and then find players that compliment that building block. Instead of paying billions of dollars on anyoen who may be available and then asking someone to coach them up.
I just hope that people will like me
