Similar somewhat but frye has been playing better overall this year

Too early. If/when Bogut gets going, he's a true low post center. Frye, as you can see is more of a high post, shooting F/C. But I love Frye's effort on D and his smart/heady play.

But, hey, maybe Zeke doesn't look like such an idiot for saying he'd take Frye no.1 overall now. I think most of us understand that New York athletes have more pressure on them than some other teams. Frye is a guy who seems to LIKE that pressure instead of shrink from it.

Frye is Rasheed without the weed.

Frye will look really nice next to Curry for the next few years, but if we didn't get Curry, I would've taken Bogut because he is more of a low-post player and a better rebounder/shotblocker, even if his stats don't reflect it yet.

that's why I didn't like that trade for Magloire for them: it slows Boguts development too much. that team is going nowhere without Bogut being a major contributor. Also, Milwaukee might not make the playoffs, the East is tight and has 10 or 11 teams who could make the playoffs. If they miss the playoffs, to my knowledge, that lotto pick still goes to New Orleans.

Bogut has been playing with a broken nose. This has slowed him down a bit, as you might expect.

why would that slow him down? doesnt he wear a facemask? didnt seem to slow RIP hamilton down.

The key to Frye's development as a player is how he adjusts to teams double teaming and/or making other adjustments to keep the ball out of Frye's hands, LB has to work on this as so that Frye can further develop his play.

I would take Frye over Charlie V. It would be a tough call between Bogut and Frye. But I really like Frye's mental makeup. This guy is a winner and competitor.

Charlie V's putting up similar #s but he is 2 years younger and more versatile. He can hit 3s and can put the ball on the floor. I love Frye (and V wasn't even available at #8 anyway) but Charlie V has a higher ceiling IMO.

i dont think its so farfetched to believe that Frye could develop a consistent 3pt shot.

Frye has a very limited post game right now, can't create for himself, and can't hit the 3 yet.

I don't want Frye to develop a 3. The only real real big men that have the right to be shooting 3s are Dirk, Rasheed, and I think I'm missing one other guy, but forget who right now. Frye should be doing exactly what he is now. And he does too have plenty of a post game and he finishes about 50X better than Curry. As a matter of fact, at this point, Frye is the better player than Curry. He makes his teammates better with his pick setting and even his passing. If you say he can't create his own shot, you haven't been watching my man.

What he DOES need to do is assert himself more so he can be put in the position to create his own shot. Someone said he was demanding the ball like crazy yesterday. If he was, it was ever so unnoticeable.
