Are you kidding me? We STILL don't have a true centre, and if Joe wants to gamble, why not gamble on the likes of DeAndre Jordan, or Devon Hardin? They were argubally the best prospect centres on the board at the time. If he wanted a forward, why not go after Bill Walker, or CDR?

Did you even see who we ended up with? We might as well have forfeited the picks, because I'll be damned if any of these 3 guys make the team. Washington looks interesting, but we will likely never see him again after the Summer League. The same will happen to the other two aswell.
But hey, feel free to prove me wrong Joe
