Favors is as unfinished a product as Josh Smith was and his career just narrowly avoided being a calamity. Monroe has talent and a unique skill set, but bigs with bad motors and invisibility problems are not ones I would like to bank on.
I couldn't believe Davis slid so far and while his ceiling isn't the highest, I think he is ready to contribute right away at a high level and will never be a distraction on or off the court. He seems like the player the team has been searching for since Oak left.
I don't know if you can really credit BC with taking Davis though, he fell into his lap and unless he was obsessed with Bradley, it was as big a no brainer as there was in the draft.
I think Beli for Wright is going to go down as one of BC's finest singles, it actually makes me hope Klieza sucks or gets hurt.

The only reason I didn't pick Ed was because at 13 he was a no brainer. Most had him going in the top 10.

I think BC's best off season move was drafting Davis.
None of the other moves this summer will turn out to be even close.
Davis will prove to be easily one of the top ten if not top five picks in last June's draft.
He was a steal at #13.
P.S. As everyone knows I was not sold on this pick at the time that it happened. But after watching Davis play in Las Vegas I fee pretty confident that he will become a very very good player and definitely a steal at #13
People can bring up other player's in the past who have shined in the LVSL and turned out to be duds.
But for me it is not a matter of numbers when it comes to the LVSL.
It is a matter of how they shoot the ball, which is the same regardless of what league you play in.
How you react to shots in order to grab the rebound which is the same regardless of what league you play in. Rebounding is mostly effort and just knowing where the missed shot will carom to. The league is irrelevant.
There are other things that I look for in a big to judge his potential.
Davis has it all except like we all know he needs to get stronger and get experience. Both of those will come 4sure.
He also has very good basketball blood lines.Last edited by Buddahfan; Tue Aug 24, 2010, 03:06 PM.

the only reason colangelo is still here is because he can quickly rid of his mistakes and start over,but, he can't manage to hold a team together and build something good.
in phoenix he had nash, amare, and marion but he surrounded them with scrubs and it didn't work out in an nba chapionship, even though they made it to the conference finals i think they're team was a lot better this previous year than the previous conference finals team.

sleepz wrote: View PostA steal in what way? If you get a player that you thought was a bum and he turns out to be average is this what we're calling a steal nowadays.
Shrewd move maybe? I try to reserve steal for better circumstances and better players.
Ask Milwaukee if they thought the Delfino for Weems and Johson trade was as a 'steal' and Hammond will tell you he got the better end of the deal.

Those are decent players and I hope Johnson, and Weems become even better players but how come no one wonders why this guy in his time here has never hit a homerun or even a triple, getting a player by draft, trade, or signing that turned out to be a real steal???

maybe, moon,j. oneal and a first rounder for banks and marion was not a steal. but, we got a player who fit our system and played perfectly to comp[liment bosh and bargnani in the forntcourt and as we later found out, later as in now, banks is actually a decent player.
again maybe not a steal but we got two players who complimented our system for two players who were basically dumped after they were traded.
and sleepz you are beating a horse's decomposed corpse as it's been dead for 4 years.
