That's right. I'm controversial.
PG B/R/R 32 Dunn 16 Jones 36 (in Des Moines)
SG Wiggins 20 Lavine 28
SF Wiggins 12 Bazz 25 Belly 11
While I agree about Jones as the outsider at #3... I really would prefer not to see Muhammad at 25 mpg.
I think Bazz is underrated, and it is really tough for me to admit that because I was really upset that they drafted him.
Maybe. Personally, I see him as a 8 team in 9 years type of player when all is said in done. Good enough to be wanted... not good enough to like him more than others who haven't seen the warts up close do...

I also think he should get as many minutes as possible this year because it is his 4th year. He either plays well to get a contract or MIN trades him because they don't want him, or he plays himself to Europe.
Is there any precedent for Thibs not playing a top 5 pick? Maybe we don't really know how he will handle a higher profile draft pick that is supposed to have nba ready skills.

I don't think so, but there is precedent of what other coaches have done over the past 30+ drafts.....they play 'em early and often.

So he's is not going to play THE GUY HE DRAFTED. There is not going to be some POBO/Coach feud. At least I hope not. If there is, that is going to be the most watched "Outside The Lines" episode ever.
