I am having trouble identify the guy I want at 4 though. In last years draft, there were four guys who I think fit this profile: Mobley, Barnes, Wagner, Kuminga (not ready yet, but in time should be very good). None of those guys are available. This years draft looks to have four of those types of players: Holmgren, Jabari Smith and Bancharo. None of those guys will be available to us either.
There are some guys i like, but not love. Or guys I love, who aren't available. So I am having trouble finding a guy who I would go all in for.
Question- Dinwiddie recently called Theo Pinson the best hype man in the league. Dallas is keeping him on a two way contract even though he is out with a surgery. Do you think they would think carrying both Pinson and Boban on the roster next year when they provide very little help on the court?
Exactly. That is why I have been in love with adding Collins. I think he is that dude who would make this thing really hum. Id be in for multiple 1st rounders if we could pry him away from ATL. Just a really nice, versatile player that can play D in space, protect the rim a bit, spread the floor, AND rim roll. He would be a good rebounder here too. He was a 10 rebound a game guy before he got paired with Capela and still gets 7-8 a game next to that vacuum cleaner. Can't think of any non-allstar/rookie scale player that would be a better fit right now. I am just praying that they miss the playoffs somehow so that they might be in the mood to make a change there. I thought we had a chance before they went to the ECF last season and crushed it.
