WraithSentinel Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 I went through my trial and error. I have come to the conclusion it is Yi Jianlian I want with the 3rd pick. Either Law/Cri or trade for Jack using the 11 pick. I am on the Yi bandwagon. He just make too much sense for us on the court and off the court.

Moderators AHF Posted June 14, 2007 Author Moderators Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 I am waffling at the moment between Yi and Horford. If I thought one could play the center position soon that person would have my vote. If you assume both will play PF in the NBA, I guess I am leaning to Yi at this point. I do love the post presence that Horford offers, though. He is also a good defender and decent passer. I still love Conley but have been persuaded that the difference between him and Law isn't enough to justify using the #3 pick on a PG - at least for right now. If he projects as a star PG, I would definitely take another SF type at #11 if need be to avoid missing out on another backcourt stud. I don't have faith that Law will be a star or that Critt will be ready two start any time soon. I do think both are attractive prospects, though.

coachx Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 I would trade #3 with any one on the roster (other then JJ/Smoove) for Gasol. Since that was not an option I was the 1st and so fay only vote for Hoford. I like Yi but fear his devlopment years could cost us both Smoove and JJ. I feel Gasol would give us a legitimate chance at winning the East right now. If we has a tean of veterans I would be all for Yi but we are already developing Smoove & MArvin. How many "project" do we want at one time ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted June 14, 2007 Author Moderators Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 I also like the idea of getting Gasol at the right price. This team is ready to start winning now. If we could make a decent trade for Gasol I would be all for that. For purposes of this poll, though, there are too many unknowns to include hypothetical trade scenarios. The poll assumes that the Hawks explore trade options but can't pull anything off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJHAWK Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 I cannot decide between Yi, Hortford or Noah so I just took the best player in the whole draft, Brewer. Although he isnt the right player for us, I just took the easy way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexmethylphenidate Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 lol Flavor of the week is so true... Conley, then Holford then Yi. I'm sticking with Conley all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packfill Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 I still firmly believe that this team goes nowhere without the a pass first point guard. We will never know how good Smoove, Marvin, Childress and Sheldon will be without one. I also firmly believe that a good point guard makes those around him better and that the sume is greater then the parts when it comes to a basketball team. If BK hadn't made some bad picks in the past that have bloated the forward depth chart, then I would be all over Horford or Yi, but since that is not the case, I remain firmly in the Conley camp.

Dejay Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 I went Horford, although I wouldn't be too pissed if we got Yi. You all know what my real preference is though (Gasol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exodus Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Funny how the board now reflects exactly how i feel, on the fence between Yi and Conley. if the Hawks can trade down to 6 and add CV without giving up anyone (other than AJ or Lue) and take Conley that would be my best case scenario.

Great idea (Diop). We could use Vill+filler to help Kobe get his championship run. Just give us Bynum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm okay with Conley at 6, but I'm really not feeling CV, what does he bring that we don't already have, It would give Conley more talent to work with, but I'm just not feeln' CV here, I rather have Bogut here.

exodus Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 CV scored 13 ppg in 29 minutes per game as a rookie and had a 48 point game. He is a better scorer than Childress or Marvin, maybe Smith as well. They aren't going to throw in bogut to move up 3 spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
