Basketball Insiders: Redrafting the 2011 Draft

[Mindlessness]

Here's the link: http://www.basketballinsiders.com/re...011-nba-draft/

1. Leonard
2. Irving
3. Thompson
4. Butler
5. Mirotic
6. Parsons
7. Jonas
8. Knight
9. Harris
10. Walker
11. Vucevic
12. Motiejuanas
13. Thomas
14. Markieff Morris

Surprised at Mirotic being so high, hasn't really done much in his career yet, I'd put him below Harris for now. I'd take Butler over Klay as well. Other than that, I wouldn't argue much over this.

This is also quite different than SI's (I think) redraft, where they didn't even have Jonas in the lottery much less the top 10.

Thoughts?

Thompson falling so far down is ridiculous. Same with Reggie Jackson and Vucevic. Mirotic is way too high. Montejuanas is a little too high as well.

[S.R.]

Damn they are high on Mirotic - guy only played 20 minutes a game last year as a rookie off the bench. He's still mostly potential imho, but he's already 24. He's a nice player but not sure he's top 5.

I'm still high on Jonas!!!

Give me Jimmy Butler over everyone

[JimiCliff]

Thompson at #3 is insane

[The Great One]

1. Irving
2. KLAY Thompson
3. Leonard

I don't put Mirotic or Parsons over JV.

[BS10]

Looks about right

[SkywalkerAC]

Not sure Irving is over Thompson and Butler given all those injuries.

Lol they should really specify that's allay Thompson... I'm here thinking... Man who would take Tristan Thompson over Jimmy Butler?

Their explanation as to why Toronto would have picked Mirotic at 5:

"Things get very interesting at five, but Mirotic would be a perfect fit in Toronto. They’d likely have been able to hold onto Amir Johnson this last offseason, and that duo in the frontcourt would be spacing galore alongside Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan."

Mirotic is an okay player but man that team would suck.

Are they so clueless and out of touch with the Raptors that they don't understand the Raptors chose not go have Amir back?

Why yes, yes they are.

No, cuz apparently according to Amoronicans everytime a player leaves Toronto, its cuz its too cold, tax is high, we have Kilometer and Ltrs and Toronto is in Canada. And the story is Lou turned down 5 years 500 million contract to sign with the Lakers and Amir left for "green'ner pasture.

SMH

Fucking morons.
