I'd say yeah. He's beasting right now lol, but I don't want to put too much stock in 1 game, even if it's against Duke. Over the course of the year we'll see how it goes, but my guess is his stock will rise.

Shabazz is touted as a mixture of MKG and James Harden. An MKG that can shoot right out of the gate? A James Harden with amazing defense and athleticism? Good lord.

Him and Mcadoo seem too much like tweeners. Last thing we need is Derrick Williams on this team.

Oh dammit. We're screwed. Shabazz ruled eligible.

With so many young guys already on the team, would it make more sense to move the pick for a still young but proven player that we know has the skills we need to complement the others on our team?

It all depends who it is... I would be willing to give up a Top 10 pick for a guy like a Eric Gordon or even Rudy Gay.

Rudy Gay, yes, Eric Gordon, no.We need a number one option on this team. Our only chance is Shabazz.

lol @ trading a top 5 pick for Gordon/Gay. Man, the basketball IQ on this forum is lacking lately.

Would you like to discuss the high % of busts out of top 5 picks in recent years?

Yeah I rather get Darko Mililic

**GREEAR10** · 11-17-2012, 09:55 PM

Well, the Pistons will be picking in the top 5, so it's pointless to discuss giving away a 6-10 pick for Gay/Gordon.

The Darko draft yielded what, 5 superstars out of the first 6 picks? Not really the example you want to use. Although I will admit that is simply the GOAT draft class.

By the time we are ready to compete Gay would be on the downside of his career. If Gordon's health was guaranteed and he was guaranteed to compete with maximum effort I would give up a 3-5 pick for him (not top 2, id rather have shabazz)

There's noway you can guarantee me that though.

And guys, if we draft someone and they bust, cool, we get another top 5 pick the year after. You see how that works?
