This is probably a little off topic, and as I have a little time on my hands, I was looking at the center prospects and the top 4 seem to be Splitter, Boone, Aldridge, and Williams. Which of these guys do you want the most?

Splitter, is Splitter. we know about him from the last draft.
Boone is a thinner, (230) athletic center.
Adridge reminds me alot of Frye (6-11, 225)although Frye weighs more.
Williams is 6-9, 245 and a banger inside, along the Emeka Okafur mold. These guys are projectd in the top 10. At first I would like Splitter, Williams, Boone, and Aldridge.

While Splitter is an intriguing prospect his yo-yo actions on the draft has made me a bit quesy and images of Fran Vazquez emerges. I think I would have to go LaMarcus Aldridge on this.

Even with an Aldridge clone in Frye? I like Williams as being a great PF compliment with Frye at C, whereas Splitter would be a great middle man with Frye at PF.

Splitter played like crap in the finals and he gave Real Madrid the tittle, so I hate him.
Well, really he has to play better and this is the year to prove himself, because he will be a starter. Scola and he will be the TAU's starting PF and C.
For those interested in Vazquez, I don't know why, but since the Magic drafted him, he is playing much better near the basket. The only "little" problem I see is that he makes Gasol look like Ben Wallace defensively. Yup!

Whenever Vazquez comes to the NBA...I never liked Vazquez.....I only like Splitter's size, and he looks built really well. He is the on Euro I wouldn't mind getting..All Euros seem to take about 3 years to develop and adapt to the NBA (there hasn't been 1 Euro who really "got it" (If I am wrong please point the guys out, I'm really interested)within a few years...I also like Williams because he is a rough inside player...6-9, 245...And Francis reminds me of Jermaine...

we need another big guy or two. this is a big year for mike sweetney and we need to know what james is going to give us

if eric williams was 2 inches bigger hed be the number 1 pick in the draft hands down imho, but i wouldnt unhappy if we ended up eric with the SA pick if he happene to fall that far.

we lose our main pick if we make the playoffs, and im going to assume that sa will be pick 25-30 and 25 is being optomistic. to find a big that low, well, its not likely if teams dont like eric and he falls to 26-30 or so, thats where i would go
RIP Crushalot😞

one other guy that i can think of that i have mentioned a few times is paul milsap. he definitely is something of a charles oakley ben wallace clone. hes not tall, hes just fierce and good. sometimes size is over rated and how the person plays--like an oakley or a wallace is more important--i would say try to catch this guy play 1 nce this year, but im going to assume he will be gone before pick 15

if i had to guess the big guys in the top 15
excluding foreign players

sheldan williams
milsap
boone
taj gray
alrdidge
mcroberts
jay smith
