I have no problem taking Andruskevicius. If Zeke goes out there and thinks he's the guy, so be it. I have no problem taking a chance on a coordinated, 7'3" player who has outplayed his age group when given a chance, and is training with Sabonis.
In fact, I have no problem taking any of those top guys at around 8. If we're not getting into the top 3-4 by winning the lottery then the talent gets pretty equal the rest of the way.
I agree with you 100%, absolutely. I was kind of semi-joking up top, and I know the guy has been slightly bashed, but ultimately you are still talking about an athletic highly coordinated 7-3 player and they dont grow on trees.
Im sorry, but those two Spaniards, from everything I have read, are NOT Cs. Bargnani is the top Euro prospect by a good margin and now that we sit at 8, below what I think is a talent step down--if Isiah goes over there and thinks this guy will develop over the next 2-3 years, I'll take it. Chris Taft is a possibility at 8.
I think the next step is drop down and see if you can add another pick. If we were at 7 and Felton was still there, we couldve made one helluva deal with someone.
