if they are seriously considering not drafting turner because of iguoldala then i dont know....

not that turner is michael jordan but we know what we got in andre and it aint something that needs to stay

[Drunkmasterflex]

yeah iguodala is what he is...but thats still pretty good...plays good defense and gets you 18 6 and 5 each night

now thats possibly what turner may get you as well as they are similar players but you already know what iguodala is...turner also has the possibility of not being an nba starter

i dont really have any problem swapping the two as a money move...all im saying is i dont think turner will ever be a significantly better player than iguodala and probably not even as good

I don't really think the two are that comparable.  I think Iguodala is a way better athlete and I think Turner probably will be a legit NBA scorer. 

I like Turner a lot, but you can't knock them if they take a big man with tons of upside. 

[ice grillin you]

they are similar in that they are the same size they both do everything well but nothing great and its questionable whether turner can play the two in the nba (we know iguodala cant)...thus you may end up with basically the same small forward

[ice grillin you]

was reading the scouting reports out of chicago and came across this

Greivis Vasquez, Sr., F, Maryland: Vasquez was the ACC player of the year, so he was hardly a non-factor during the conference season. But he has been poorly tossed to the back of the line because he's a senior, and he wasn't billed as the quickest or the hotest name among point guards. He's behind John Wall, Evan Turner (yes, he has to have the ball in his hands to be effective, so put him in with the point guards), Avery Bradley and Eric Bledsoe.

just one scout saying this but if its a prevailing opinion it lends weight to them going in a different direction and taking one of the big guys

[MDS]

whatever they gotta do to keep iguodala happy, im for it

now there is a player you can build around

[ice grillin you]

i dont know where you get iguodala out of all that....the point is they have jeru...and if they believe turner is more suited as a lead guard then they obviously arent going to take him

[MDS]

because i hate iguodala and everything is his fault

also i just cant see any coach playing a 6'7 dood at the 1

[ice grillin you]

i dont see it either but that commentary if coming from an nba scout...otherwise i wouldnt have even posted it

[SD]

Guy with sources:

There is a guy every year that drops due to character issues or coachability. The Sixers brass is predicting that person is Cousins.

I think Favors goes 3 and Wesley Johnson 4. Either Aminu or Monroe goes 5...I dont know that we will try and trade back up for Cousins if he keeps dropping past 6 but its something to keep an eye on.

[ice grillin you]

no chance

in a strong draft he might drop a little but not this year

and there isnt a consensus top three pick that drops every year...a guy that should go end of lottery or teens usually drops into the 20's

[SD]

$10 Cousins doesn't go top 3

[ice grillin you]

sure why not

on top of that $1000 he goes top five?

[SD]

 he'll go top 5

What would you part with to land him if he didn't? Thad and/or Speights + future 1st?

[ice grillin you]

yeah id definitely do either...to have a really promising young pg AND a potential stud center would be almost to good to be true
