I think we need to get a legit 6-11/7-0 big man with this pick. It's easy to find a swingman/PG in free agency, so I don't see the point in drafting one unless they're a sure thing. I personally don't care if they pick foreign, but just do an attitude check before picking them. I'd prefer the "athletic/aggressive" type to the "skills" big man though.

Right now may be a good time to take one of them, because the whole "Foreign craze" has died down a bit. They aren't being overrated to the extreme anymore after the Darko fallout. Saer Sene and Alexis Ajinca are both intruiging. Not to mention all of the Bigs coming out of College that year (Oden, Wright, Cedric Simmons, etc). It looks to be a good draft for bigs. Let's hope Aldridge waits another year. Even if we can't get him, it will only make the draft deeper.

IMO, it's a completely different situation now with the D-League available, so if it's a mid-1st I wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger on a foreigner.
