Derozen doenst pass the ball and all they will do is go underneath the screen on him. He has a one dribble spin move and that is about it. I will take Curry or trade down I wont change my mind.

i don't care if u change ur mind or not, i'm just providing evidence why your opinions about him are baseless generalizations based on a single stat... if you've watched him play at all this year you would know he's a better shooter than you're giving him credit for.

So is Wilson better three point shooter than the 30% he shot? If you shoot under 40 percent from the field then you shouldnt shoot that much. Holiday is better than Derozen IMO and this draft sucks. You said Derozen would average more than 16 points a game before his third year like Lee. Will he lead the league in doubles-doubles and get 12 rebounds a game?

Posted by King1: i said his 4th year... last year was Lee's 4th... & i dunno if he'll lead the league in double doubles but i am guessing he stands a good chance of averaging a lot more than 16 ppg at his peak... i'm projecting this kid to be a Vince Carter type talent... & i'll take that over D Lee anyday of the week & twice on Sundays.

I would also I think he would be Harold Miner and the two guys and the only two guys I wanted we EG and Courtney Lee and I am not so sure Derozen will be better than Lee.

Harold Miner? where do u come up w/these comparisons? he's completely different in stature & size than Derozan, not to mention he was a year older (21) than Derozan will be (20) when he breaks into the NBA & Miner was a junior at USC before he declared while Derozan's only a freshman... Derozan's only 19 & already demonstrating skills that will easily translate over to the NBA game.
what do EG & Courtney Lee have to do w/this conversation about Derozan? do u see me comparing Derozan to those guys anywhere in my posts? After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

Is this the first Harold Miner reference on this board? There has to be a prize for that or something...

Miner was two inches shorter than Derozen. He cant shoot and he can put the ball on the ground or pass.

Posted by King1: Derozan shot 52% from the field & only attempted 36 3-pointers last year... it's not like he was chucking away every chance he got... most games either he didn't even attempt a 3 pointer or just attempted just 1 & the most he's ever attempted in a single game was 3... Wilson Chandler shot 21% from the 3 his freshman year in college & he's got his 3 pt. shooting up to 33% in his 2nd year in the NBA, so it's not too much of a reach to think Derozan can get his averages up too. anyway, it's not like perimeter shooting is going to be such a huge need next season when we already have Gallo who's a damn good shooter as we've all seen playing on the wing along with Harrington, Duhon, Hughes, Q Rich & depending if he's re-signed or not, Nate Robinson on this roster who will be taking their share of 3's as well... what, u think the entire offense is going to be predicated on 3 pointers only? there's no need for a kid w/Vince Carter type athletic ability & explosiveness running on the wing on the fastbreak & driving to the lane for the finish that can also post up smaller G's & give us some serious mismatches in our favor? u don't think watching Derozan, Chandler, Gallo & either Lee or Harrington running the break w/Duhon or Nate leading them would be a really exciting brand of basketball to watch? i do... please explain to me how Holiday or Curry starting at PG w/Hughes, Chandler, Gallo & either Lee or Harrington is such a huge upgrade.

If Curry has the upside of Steve Nash, you take him over a guy with the upside of Vince Carter. No questions asked. With that said, does Curry have that kind of upside? That's up to our coaching staff. However, if he does, then Curry isn't going past 3 or 4. If he can't even play much PG though, then I'd take Derozan over him. I'd take Hill over both though, and I'd take Harden too, if he falls.
My suggestion. Trade up. Get either Thabeet, Hill or Harden or Curry (If his upside is really that high.) I wouldn't be opposed to Evans either at this point. “Whenever I’m about to do something, I think ‘Would an idiot do that?’ and if they would, I do NOT do that thing.”- Dwight Schrute
