New RealGm Mock: Sene at #5

[rljenkins]

Not too sure what they are thinking over at RGm.?

1. LaMarcus Aldridge

2. Andrea Bargnani

3. Adam Morrison

4. Rudy Gay

5. Saer Sene

Yeah, after watching his clips, I like Sene a lot. But come on, he's not going at #5. He might garner strong consideration at #15, though.

#5 for #12/#15

Rondo/MWilliams/Foye/SWilliams

Saer Sene

YES! I'd love that.

[Nicholasp27]

obviously if they'd do that

maybe if roy/aldridge falls to 5 they would

[jezmund]

It was 'rumored' (take it for what it's worth) that NO has already offered #12/#15 for Minnesota's #6 so no reason they wouldn't.

[Nicholasp27]

then no reason for us not to do that

we can get one of the impressive pgs from yesterday plus a big man like obryant/sene

we are bringing in obryant for a workout this week

if he impresses us enough, maybe we'll do it

we may also trade 15/future 2nd to seattle for #10 since seattle wants to save some money

then we get obryant 10 and rondo/marcus 12

i'd be happy

What is the difference in contracts between the 10th pick and the 15th in terms of dollars?

[jezmund]

Probably not much. Half a mill max I'd say.

The question is WHY do they think the #5 is so valuable and we don't? Who do they think they are getting?

[jezmund]

I'd imagine New Orleans wants the remaining out of Rudy Gay and Brandon Roy. That is just my guess...

[Yeti]

I want Roy. If we pass on Roy for Shelden we deserve our fate.

[jezmund]

I want Roy, too, but he doesn't even seem to be on our radar.

I could also see NO looking at Brewer. He was a manimal in the workouts.

They need a 2/3 to pair with Paul. We have those positions covered. Morrison, Gay or Roy should be available at 5.

Nothing comes up for me when I click o that link. Can you post the mock?

I want Roy for PG. We should not pass him up for someone marginally better than what we already have.

Anyone know what's going on with Andersen? Seems like whether he comes over or not, should affect our draft stategy.

[DrReality]

BK said in the AJC "we have enough young players." and Sene is VERY YOUNG. Don't think it will happen. From here on out the hype goes into warp drive.

You got that right Doc. Rumors flying all over the place and unsubstantiated BS getting deeper and deeeper. I do think there may be a move or two within the top 10 teams picking, but usually things settle down by draft night and all pretty much fall in line.

The nice thing about this draft is it looks to be pretty deep with good players. It oughtta be fun to watch.
