thanks for bringing up the trade possibilities for howard guys. I think that Bogut, the #7, and Curry would be a fair trade. But would they take two guys with messed up ankles?

If that senario doesn’t play out then I would like to see them draft Terrance Jones. He is a NBA power forward guys, not a small forward. Think Larry Johnson of UNLV then Knicks, yes Jones is going to be a baller.

agreed with Harp’s Dubs. Take out Wright and put in Klay, and we can get Howard. Bogut is arguably a top-3 or 4 center right? I think Bogut is more of a defensive force and better rebounder than Lopez for sure.

2011 3-pt shooting

Jones 32%
Arnett 44%

2011 FT Shooting

Jones 63%
Arnett 78%

When I say more skilled I mean things we can be certain the player will do well in the NBA. Shooting is the easiest to project bc the rims dont change and Jones was not a good shooter in college. Arnette had much better numbers as you can see.

Jones also played the 4 in college so projecting him as a 3 is hard. Can he drive the lane in the nba? Hard to say bc he wasnt guarded by 3′s as he tried to drive in college. Arnette was a 3 before he played 4 last year. I am not a huge fan of Jones as a 4. He is like Josh smith at best because though he is strong, he’s not that tall or long (for a PF). He’s a better 3 prospect to me than 4.

Being stronger doesnt really matter at the 3 in the nba IMHO. You just really need to be long like Prince or Batum. Neither of them look like they can lift 220 once…KD looks like he has nvr lifted a weight (SF)…

@Young
Terrance Jones is less skilled than Arnett? In what way? Terrance Jones is a better shooter, dribbler, I guess passing they might actually cancel each other out, Jones is WAY stronger than Arnett and he’s bigger now and has the ability to pack on 20 lbs without losing any speed (look at the kid’s frame). Arnett has some nice Antwan Jamison like moves down low but the kid has little outside shooting ability…I don’t dislike him as a pick it’s just that Terrance Jones is right now very good NBA defender and could eventually be a first team all NBA on defense. Less skilled? In what way exactly?

lol @ your drummond comment.

I agree 100% and thats exactly why I would rather Arnett than T Jones (just dont draft Arnett at #7, maybe #12-16). I agree Jones is a better prospect (bigger risk tho), he is also less skilled IMHO and its not close.

Skill defined here as a move you can do repetitively (vs NBA players) and get the desired result.

I love T Jones and Ross, suggested early on we trade back to get houstons 14 and 16 picks.

however ross is Klay, but less consistent shooting more ATH. And Tjones is almost impossible to project bc what are his true skills in an NBA game?

I think Arnette now is tall / long enough to guard the perimeter. Fast enough with enough handles to drive, good enough to shoot and will eat major boards. DAY 1

Again, to your point, good at basketball…Love to hear your take

Arnett Moultrie is not as good a prospect as Terrance Jones. If I were GM and we had to take the 7th pick, it’d either be T. Jones or Ross.

But I cannot iterate this point enough: NO ANDRE DRUMMOND. We need players who are good at the game of basketball which Drummond isn’t even close to.

@ Derek, your a genius!

I hadnt even really looked at this guy!

This guy is a really tall small forward like a Tashuan Prince! This our guy! He’s good now on offense and can defend the perimeter…

I say draft waiters at #7 or fall back and draft Moultrie! this guy should at least be a Batum / Paul George SF and can play NOW!!!

ANRETT MOULRTRIE TO THE WARRIORS!

Arnett Moultrie is better than anyone recently mentioned by fans and Warriors staff. Look for them to miss out on another offensive and rebounding beast who dominated in college, while selecting a prospect they falsely believe has a higher ceiling.

The Warriors need atheletic big men, currently they have none, yet they apper to stupid to comprehend reality. Who hires some of these uninformed imbeciles.

Orlando might do it if it’s Bogut, #7 and Klay.
