Ezeli a stiff?

I don’t think so.

Mickey Moore is a stiff, maybe Adonal Foyle as well. Not this one.

This dude was highly picked and recommended by Jerry West and i don’t think “The Logo” will pick a dud or a stiff for a first round pick to build a perennial cellar dwelling team like the dubs.

The guy moves well. He likes defending and boxing out the opponent, he has great timing in blocking shots and most of all, he can rebound at will. That’s all we need from him.

I think his presence with Bogut will establish toughness and intimidation in holding the front.

Ezeli is not a stiff but Biedrins is fast becoming one.

Fwiw, Barnes was listed by many experts as 2 or 3 and Espn’s Thorpe had him as best in draft

Seems pretty reasonable to pick an Nba ready 6’8 SF like that from UNC

Let’s not forget that Jenkins had a pretty good start to his career subbing for Steph and he can definitely take it to the rim. Having him back would be a nice boost when we want a more traditional PG in the game.

Batrnes can take the ball to the rim, did you watch alot of UNC games. He can penetrate. Thats why i dont know why i was hearing we wanted Luol Deng, he sit on the wing and shoots all game, never goes to the freethrow line.

Barnes is ready. he is a good pick for us, and he doesnt just sit on the three point line. he can penetarte and make big plays! And you have to remember he was on a team with so many other All americans, the ball was spread around. now he can make a big impact for us, if we dont be dumb and trade him. Kinda reminds me of Rusy gay a bit.

Here’s what I don’t get: Curry, Thompson, Rush, Barnes — who can take the ball to the rim? It’s not so great to have fantastic catch-and-shooters when you don’t have anybody to drive and dish to them. I like Barnes a lot, but this team needed Waiters. Too bad he went so early.

I think that Portland will be very happy with the kid from Oakland. I watched some of his work outs and he shoots the lights out, hustles and plays d like a maniac..on top of that he is a fitness freak ala Jerry Rice type of stuff. I wish him all the best.

Ezeli has stiff written all over him. He’s a short manute bol. Maybe he can… what am I saying he’s a stiff we’ll see him in Santa Cruz in the D league. I can’t wait for the d league in Santa Cruz baby…I’m sorry I want to root for a guy named festus, I loved Gun Smoke, it was one of the greatest television series of all time. Was Matt Dillon bangin Kittie? I wonder.

A little surprised to see Barnes fall to the Dubs at 7 and he’s the obvious choice here. No complaints, he should be a fine NBA player, a bit of an underachiever though, some questions about his mental toughness. Too bad you can’t give him Draymond Green’s mental makeup, then I’d be a little more excited. Still I like all three of the top draftees. Nice job Myers, Logo and Lacob.

I don’t think Ezeli is a stiff. I think he is a great defender, rebounder, and shot blocker. I think the idea here is the combination of him as a non-scorer combined with scorers, Lee, Barnes, KThompson and Curry will work becuase his role becomes simplified and specified as a defensive stopper.

Besides this guy is still developing. He is only 22 yrs old.
