should be the BEST *long term* potential candidate. I have very little faith that we will play anyone, even if we have basically the same group and are losing again--very real possibility, no? I don't need pick 8 to be an impact player in year 1. I see it as a building block pick. Of course it's a no-brainer if we get into the 1-2-3 area, but if not my first and most aggresive option is to move up to 4 somehow to get Green. Id be willing to give a LOT to do it.
A guy like Danny Granger is more likely to help us now at pick 8 than anyone else, even the bigs, but I am so confused with all of the parts we have that I think the only logical decision is to go big.
To me it's a 4 man race with Splitter, Petro, Taft and Martynas A. If Isiah concludes that Martynas at 7-3, is the best long term prospect, even if it takes 2-3 years, than I trust his judgement. I do not care if pick 8 is not an impact player next year--i hope he is, but its not a pre-requisite. I think there are some people looking for year 1 miracles and I think it will take 3 YEARS to overhaul this POS. Thats why I mentioned Darko. I think Darko is ready to breakout faster to the next level than any of these players. Darko was rated well above these guys for the most part and you can see what his potential is. That being said, TMS is probably right that Joe Dumars wont give him up. Id like to see Isiah *work* the agent to force things, like what Baron--Vince et al have done. We could put Darko IMHO, into the starting C position and I think he's ready to go right now. But if not, take the best long term BIg candidate off the draft board.
There are a lot of guys I like in particular Danny Granger, Rashad Mccants and Nate Robinson myself, and there is always the possibility of trading down for multiple picks if the bIGS grade out at not good enough. I dont want a big to just get a big[although i think that wont be the case]
thats the way i see it
