RE: Updated draft rankings
Unless a Carter were to fall to us at 9 or 10, or a Bonzi Wells is the real
thing as a shooter, it might be better to drop down for a couple of picks.
If we could drop down and get 2 picks in the 15 to 25 range and pick up a
Miles Simon, big, smart player who can play both guard positions, Richard
Hamilton or Corey Benjamin great talent, or Tyronn Lue some backup
insurance for Anderson ?, and maybe a Nazr Mohammed, Jelani McCoy,Brian
Skinner, or even Doleac I think it would make us a deeper team.
We need an outside scoring threat as bad as a big man to open up the inside
game.
Does anyone know anything about Efrem sp? Retzias the European kid I
believe Denver selected last year ? I think he is something like 7'1" and
was rated comparable to Ilgauskas in Cleveland. Will he ever play there ?
Will he be expendable if they select Olowokandi ? Stojakovic would be
another nice player if Sacramento can't sign him.
Jeff Sheppard would be a steal with our second round pick. Didn't #34
Charles Jones lead the nation in scoring ? Does anyone know anything about
him ?
