massaf1 Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Apparently we're looking to shore up our interior D by looking to the NFL. Doesn't anyone proof-read these things? Fox Sports Mock They clearly mean for us to take Marcus at 4, which is a huge reach in itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Final_quest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Doesn't look like they put too much thought into that one. With Aldridge and Bargnani still on the board, no way we would take a DE. If Bush were still available we'd probably take him, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJlaysitup Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I wish the top 3 picks would go that way (if we're 4th that is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsuteke Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 it's possible Billy would take Williams over Aldridge. he's done alot of stuff that went against the consensus on this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lascar78 Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Yes and one of his non-concensus views has been that he's not worried about getting a point, we need big men. He wouldn't pass on the top big man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsuteke Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 i'm not sold on Aldridge. we need the a big guy so he's the pick by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't stake my health on him choosing Aldridge over Sheldon Williams, Bargnani, etc. but I would bet a lot of $$ on BK choosing one of those guys over any of the PGs in this draft.

Lascar78 Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 agreed. I feel very confident that Aldridge,Bargnani,Thomas are likely to be his top 3 in some order, with Splitter and Shelden maybe also. I really hope we don't get Thomas or Shelden but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so, too, but I didn't have Childress in my expected top 6 two years ago and was very surprised when that pick was read off so I am not going to claim to have BK's top 4 set in stone or anything (not that I am saying that you or anyone else are making that claim either).

Lascar78 Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 true. I just think he's made it excessively clear that we're going big. Seeing us draft Patrick O'Bryant at #4 would shock me less than seeing us draft a PG if Aldridge and other quality bigs are on the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - although that would still be a huge shock for me as of today!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Final_quest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 If there is truth in this mock, isn't this good news? It means that the three teams above us want someone different than who we want. Also, if we move up to a top 2 selection, would someone trade up with us to get Morrison or Thomas? What if we get a future 1st plus the #4 or #5 in exchange for the 1st pick overall?

Premium Member Diesel Posted May 3, 2006 Premium Member Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 "They made it up... It's B.S.... They Lied." No way we take M. Williams over Aldridge. That's some BS if there ever was any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were to play out that way we would surely be looking at Aldridge. Maybe we'll get lucky with the ping pong balls this year and it won't matter.

Seano Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Wow, Marcus Williams over Aldridge, Bargnani, and Shelden W??? I dunno about that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBAreject Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 I'm guessing they had "Mario Williams" on the original mock. They've changed it to "Marcus" now, I guess. Yeah, Marcus Williams at 4 is quite a reach. I think he was projected around 15-20 in the march mock drafts. Whenever a guy shoots up the boards (Keyon Dooling, anyone?) like that, it makes me nervous about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Walter Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 ...but if the bigs are gone, I can see Gay over anybody. Another swing (especially a "quiet", little impact one like Gay) scares the living Sh!t out of me. W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
