Seriously though any cheap young athletic 7 footer who can block some shots will do. Sanders, Biyombo?
Guys like Robin lopez, asik, one of Denvers centers would do but they can't clog the paint. Deandre, a younger TYSON, would be perfect but we won't be able to afford that kind of player. Anyone who will compliment Ok4. Monroe would be redundant. Can't have a center who will clog the paint.

If we had legitmate PF with TYSON we would've faired a lot better. Not Melo or defense-allergic and injury riddled Amare

Where?

Not sure but when you have a demon in the paint like ok4 finding a serviceable one becomes much easier. I gave some examples with Biyombo or one of Denvers centers or even someone sitting on the bench in a numbers crunch. Don't necessarily need to sign a center like Robin Lopez for $10mil+ When you have Ok4 at the 4

Mudiay also projects as an all-star in my opinion - the potential/risk ratio drops more substantially after pick 2.

I also feel there are safety picks like Stein Hazrell and Kaminsky. Each has a low risk profile. We cant afford a bust --that is so paramount to this organization. That is why I have Towns below the top 5 and I dont think we pick below 5

My top 10 currently shake out like this:

1. Okafor
2. Mudiay
3. Harrell
4. Russell
5. Towns
6. Stein
7. Levert
8. Mccullough
9. Wright
10. Winslow

I'm close
I think stein is in the top 5
Ok4
Mudiay
Stein
Harrell
Johnson

I don't think we get past 5.

Ive lowered my count to 5 as it appears as if we will not draft lower. I believe this will be very close to what our draft board looks like.

Down on Towns? He's draftexpress' and nbadraft.net's #3 prospect. And he's the guy I'd like if we get the #1 pick because of his defense.

I couldnt take a guy that high based on potential with where we are. These first 5 are explosive two way athletes. Towns body is soft--he would atleast need to show a lot more--just my opinion.
