If we land Smart in 2013, and then Wiggins in 2014 I'd be a very happy chap indeed. Smart can become a very good PG, and Wiggins has the potential to be a star.

 

C - Vučević

PF - Nicholson

SF - Wiggins

SG - Affalo (?)

PG - Smart

 

Potentially that's an excellent lineup that might make this team a contender.

 

We would need more stops on defense

pf Davis (He is only 27yrs old)

Here is a nice article comparing Smart:

Marcus Smart compares to Dwyane Wade, James Harden, Tyreke Evans

Using the incredibly awesome Play Index over at College Basketball Reference, I ran a report to find out how many freshmen have achieved this stat line or better since 1999, the earliest season available in the Play Index:

 

14 points/game (Smart averages 15.0)

5 rebounds/game (Smart averages 5.8)

3 assists/game (Smart averages 4.5)

2 steals/game (Smart averages 2.9)

You have to achieve all of those things in your freshman year to be on this list. Guess how many guys have done that in the last 15 seasons of college basketball? Five. You may have heard of these guys: Dwyane Wade, James Harden, Tyreke Evans, and Caron Butler

Smart is now 2nd in Chad Ford's big board which is bad news considering he lists players based on GMs and scouts opinions and not his own. We might need to win the lottery to get Smart.

 

The teams in the hunt with us dont need pgs or combo two guards because they them already. If a team wants a defensive two, they will most likely go with victor.

Cleveland has:

Kyrie Irving

Dion Waiters

They need scoring and shooting

Ben Mclemore most likely

 

Charlott has:

Kemba Walker

Henderson (restricted free agent)

Sessions

Gordon

They need big men Noels/Benett/Zeller/Len

Or a true scoring sg like McLemore or Muhammad

The only problem with them is they have 2 picks adding the blazers pick they got from the wallace trade

So more than likely big, then small.

I dont see them going pg with walker

 

Washington has:

Wall

Beal

They need a scorer and bench power

I dont see smart for them

 

Phoenix has:

Goran Dragic for 4 years (just signed)

The suns need everything but pg

The suns could play smart at 2, but why when there is victor

I think there's a good chance that teams like Charlotte or Phoenix will draft Smart and play him at the 2, especially if McLemore continues to demonstrate that he's passive and afraid to come to the ball.

 

 

Victor is a better option for sg vs smart. If two guard is the focus.
