the wall?

What does everyone think about Young and Smith's strengths?

What part(s) of their game will take them to another level?

Of course they hit a wall. In today's NBA with players coming out too early and undeveloped, they have to adjust.

It sometimes takes years, and seein where Thad is, I woodn't be suprised if he didnt live up to his potential for a couple years (if ever).

These days you just gotta give rookies more time to develop. You're not going to see anymore (plug in good rookie)-ish rookie seasons.

remove josh smith (he is not a PF)

insert paul millsap. stud. i'm just waiting for the day when utah can't pay both boozer and millsap big money, and the sixers will swoop in with their cap room and max him out. that moment could come next summer (09).

You see Boozer opting out next year? I guess it could happen. Loyalty has never been his thing.

Max out Millsap? Seriously?

Definitely not yet...
But in another year and a half,
Millsap will be worth 10+ mil per.
Exactly what the Sixers need.
Protypical PF.
Real deal.

Your username is "Fire BK" but this type of thinking is exactly why BK needed to be fired.

I wish Billy King ever made a move like signing Paul Millsap. Millsap definitely looks like the real deal and I personally think he's going to be a stud. I don't think he'll get $10M in '09, but I don't think it would be inconceivable considering how well he plays whenever given the minutes.

Paul Millsap... He was a 2nd round pick if I'm not mistaken

Nuff said.

You could make plenty of valid points as to why giving Millsap a max contract is not a good idea. This is definitely not one of them.

For every Gilbert, Manu, L-Will, and Ellis, There's a countless streak of names that didn't enter the NBA and shouldn't have bothered entering the draft. Oh, I forgot to name Kyle Korver. But, the number of those who succeded in the 2nd round as compared to those who HAVEN'T, is damn high.

And I think the only 2nd round player to ever recieve something close to a max contract has to be Gilbert and Manu.

Yeah. And Millsap is one who has succeeded.
