why would the bucks pass up drafting jan vesely, marcus morris and tristan thompson for klay thompson that would be plain stupid and you stupid for that
ReplyDeleteBucks were by far the worst in the league when it came to scoring. In a draft short on future starters and deep with specialized role players, I'm thinking they address the lack of offensive punch by drafting Klay Thompson, one of the best shooting prospect in the draft. Thompson has great size, the pedigree, high basketball IQ, and versatility to play both the 2 and 3. He should make for a good backcourt mate with Jennings by spreading the floor and being a reliable option for the kick out 3.
ReplyDeleteMocks don't have Thompson this high on their boards, but I believe he would address the Bucks primary need of finding a viable scoring threat at the wing position.
Another great option for the Bucks, if he continues to show well in private workouts, is Marshon Brooks. He, too, is a lethal scorer, but his athleticism and finishing ability could make him more attractive. Brooks has the knock of being an inefficient scorer, but he's improved drastically each of the 4 years he's been at Providence and his work with Tim Grover seems to be paying quick dividends in improving his all around game.
PG: Jennings / Dooling
SG: Salmons / Thompson / Douglas-Roberts
SF: Mbah a Moute* / Delfino / Maggette
PF: Gooden / Ilyasova / Brockman
C: Bogut / Sanders
