And at the very least he will rebound, defend and block shots--things Chandler doesn't always do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12708431.post-1150747653592341522006-06-19T15:07:00.000-05:002006-06-19T15:07:00.000-05:00You say they have a lot of guards, but really they...You say they have a lot of guards, but really they have a lot of LITTLE guards, and no true 2-guard from a size and defense perspective, and I see that as a true need. <BR/><BR/>It's easy to say draft big, but Thomas just seems like a "tools goof" to me for some reason. Keep seeing Stromile Swift.<BR/><BR/>At least Aldridge has some offensive polish. I think he would be a good choice--like I said, him or Roy. Aldridge and Brewer would be awesome, sure. Or a Rodney Carey, whose just a freak (!)<BR/><BR/>Top choice from a pure fun standpoint would be Morrison, I love to watch him play--on offense. I shutter thinking of him trying to move his feet on D at the next level.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12708431.post-1150739148777465922006-06-19T12:45:00.000-05:002006-06-19T12:45:00.000-05:00I forgot to mention--Why not take a chance on one ...I forgot to mention--<BR/><BR/>Why not take a chance on one of the bigs and then get your rough and tumble 2 guard at 16?

He's Antonio McDyess with a killer's mentality. <BR/><BR/>Brandon Roy? So then we'll have 9 guards. Hooray. Take a shot at the big men. No bigs, no playoff series wins.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12708431.post-1150737922082501602006-06-19T12:25:00.000-05:002006-06-19T12:25:00.000-05:00I did laugh out loud when, upon turning the Cub ga...I did laugh out loud when, upon turning the Cub game on in the car yesterday, the first thing I heard was Pat Hughes saying, "...the nightmare continues..." and Santo groaning. Then he named the players who had already homered and the 6-0 scored. And I laughed again. Give the Cubs this much--they know how to do bad, they really commit and go all the way with it. Hell, it's almost as fun and interesting as when they win.<BR/><BR/>I disagree on the Bulls picks--I would love to see Brandon Roy, who might be the surest thing in the draft. A big guard who can defend at that position is also a need. I would take Roy over Thomas, who strikes me as more athlete than player, a kind of Tyson Chandler Jr. I do like Aldridge, but I expect he'll be taken first; would be a tough call for me between Roy and AldridgeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
