Here's my concern with Hodge:

http://www.nbadraft.net/profiles/juliushodge.asp

Strengths: Very effective offensive player who has been a force in the ACC since stepping on the court as a freshman … Very quick reflexes and fast running the court … Player with very good ball handling, vision and passing ability, especially for his size … Takes the ball to the basket often, despite lack of strength … Extremely competitive player who has become one of NC State’s best all time players … Comes from NYC and has all the AND 1 moves, but has toned his game down well … A good free throw shooter, but is struggling in his senior season …

Weaknesses: Very weak physically, and there is real cause for concern about this considering his age … One of those players who has very bad body strength ... He has a hard time putting on and retaining body weight during a season … Lacks great range on his shot … His outside shot lacks consistency … Not a great athlete, doesn’t get off the floor well … May lack a position on the next level due to his strength and shooting concerns …

Notes: Was ACC player of the year in his Junior season …. Promised his mother he would get his degree before going to the NBA and followed through with it …

okay so who does that sound like? That's right, our very own Jamal Crawford.

I absolutely do not believe Memphis will sell #19.

Not just enticing - to help them save face with their fans and season-ticket base. You can't pull BS like selling your #1 pick and not expect a lot of revolt among your season-ticket holders.

I don't know, I think that Memphis is in some serious trouble. A lof of their players may not return next season....They need players with character and Kurt fits the bill. Please give them Kurt for free...We don't even need a player back for what it's worth..

What would you rather obtain: Bonzi and pick 19 or Jalen and pick 16?

the toronto trade is a little more realistic imo since they unload jalen and still get the 30th pick in a deep draft

At this point, I will take whatever....as you know, the more picks we get is the bigger of an impact that Isiah may make...We need talented players once and for all in N.Y. it has been a while since we truly had a competitive squad in N.Y.

Agreed. It's not happening. That rumor will die on the vine.

The latest Sporting News says that the Grizz will be willing to give pick 19 to whoever takes Jason Williams off their hands. That's more likely than the selling the pick. If they can dump him without using the pick - say to Minn for expiring contract and fellow pain in the @$$ Cassell (works under the cap) then selling pick for cash becomes more likely. There's a small chance they do this, avoid paying the rooks salary over the next few years and get some money to offset any financial losses/luxury tax payments etc, etc.
BTW - Obviously, I would love for the NYK to get that pick if it is sold. Bynum, Morris, Petro? Best player available? Lots of guys available at that spot. All good prospects.

That's four projects with four picks. I don't like the combo.. #19 is a great pick however.

I would go

#8 Antoine Wright, Granger, Graham

#19 Blatche, Bynum, Petro, Frye, Warrick

#30 Daniel Ewing or Nate

#53 Lawrence Roberts

Your sure you get some rotation players for the future with great athleticism. You get a big project.. which all of them are. A backup point and a wing player. Lawrence Roberts has had a raw deal and IMO would be a good pick at #30. His game against Sheldon Williams was enough for me.

Buy Memphis pick @ 19
