2174021, If you thought this NBA draft couldn't get worse...

Alex Len fractured his ankle, out 4 - 6 months. Lucky for him, this draft sucks so he'll still probably be in the first half of the lottery but I'd hate to be at the top of the lottery and picking which injured big man or complementary swingman to take.

2174138, You know if they miss on Otto, they're just taking Len anyway, lol.

It's honestly not the worst pick. Sucks positionally, since they'd like a SF, but unless they draft another SG, not sure what else they could do if they slip to, say, the fifth pick. Drafting Bennett is an automatic Kyrie leaves, does not pass Go, does not collect $200 pick.
2174148, After taking Tristan early and trading up for Zeller?

I think it's more likely that they trade the pick or trade down to add a couple of guys. Honestly, they should tank another year to get a good pick in the loaded 2014 draft.
2174153, That's actually why I have no problem with them taking an injured big.

Noel if for some reason he's there after Otto, and Len if not. They wouldn't be able to make a big difference this coming season anyway, so stash the talent and aim for another Top 5 pick.

Trading back if Otto's gone wouldn't be a bad idea either. Though they'd rather just reach for the guy they want, if recent history tells us anything.
2174156, Yeah, they're most likely to take a workout wonder
Posted by SoulHonky, Fri May-03-13 06:56 PM
Should be interesting to see how these workouts go because there's a lot of room for people to move up the draft.
2174431, I don't even think Bennett is in the conversation

unless they can't trade out of where they are. No one is talking about that dude.

I'm just glad if they get that 2nd or 3rd pick... it won't be Len

this draft sucks.

2176425, Anthony Bennett to have shoulder surgery
Posted by SoulHonky, Tue May-07-13 12:28 PM
Per Chad Ford's Twitter. Out four months. No pre-draft workouts for him.
2176434, GOOD.

(Not for the young man, who I hope fully recovers. I just want his draft stock to fall to the point where he won't end up on the Cavs.)
2176437, LOL...for fucks sake.

This draft is such a bummer.

I was hoping he would beast out pre-draft and go top 3-5. Between Len, Smart staying in school and now this....being in the 5-7 spot is utter shit.
