Why they didn't utilize that correctly is still beyond me.

Problem is wondering now how they are going to realistically fix that though. No cap space, few assets with value.

Honestly feel like assuming we don't get bumped to 11th, we have a clear path to two great bigs.

Walker if we somehow get a 2-4
Hendricks if we end up 10th

Both are two-way guys who can defend and rebound.

I cannot see Hendricks making it to 10. That would be a a miracle IMO.

But hey, I never though Hardy would be available at 37, so what do I know?

Is Hendricks really a 2 way player? Looks closer to Wood but I've only seen a few games and some highlights. I think his potential and mobility make him a top 7 or 8 pick.

We probably need to be looking at that next tier.

He's basically Wood with better defense but the comparison isn't far off.

Really sucks this draft isn't like last year with big men. Duren, Williams, Kessler...ugh.

If wood could play team defense, he?d be perfect here.

Wood but with defense and coachability is honestly all we need, though.

Team defense and IQ are why Wood didn?t play here even though he was a hell of a scorer and a decent rebounder.

Powell?s defense isn?t as good for him to see any minutes. They screwed Wood the minute he got here that?s how you lose players.
