Great energy, rebounders, defenders sound like they are easy to get, but rarely does a team have someone that can elevate the entire energy level of a team.
what wing players can handle the ball, have the size to play both guard spots, can score from all over and have shown to be top flight defensive players that are available all the time? Deltone West? Cmon man... Iman was a steal
agreed, Iman gets a taste of blood, we know he will continue to work and get better this summer.
The only player I think has higher defense potential at G/F in the draft than him is, Kawi Leanord.
He has great size, moves much better, has great all round skills, and plays smart *probably Poppavich and the team*
But even he was drafted before us with the Pacers pick for George Hill.
Iman also plays defends the PG/SG, with great size at the PG.
But Leanord has the ability to lock down many players at the SG/SF.
2 very different positions, that are very important, and change the game.
With no center, we just couldn't draft a player of Farieds size to play the position.
It was a great pick for Denver and you can say teams missed out on him.
But in the end, I am very happy with what we drafted in Iman.
Anyone else think Tony Parker's physical abilities and skill sets are very similar to Lin's.
I think Lin's abilities are really close to Parker's, while Parker seems to use what he has a lot better.
They have some difference, but resemble each other close enough. While Lin can actually learn a thing or two by watching Parker.
