People who keep saying Koufos is like Z dont remember what Z was like coming into the NBA. They werent really similar.

If people are expecting a SG drafted at 19 to come in and start and put up 15+ppg will be greatly disappointed. The Cavaliers dont even expect that.

Mines Slightly different

Speights
Rush
CDR
Mcgee
Koufus

Speights looks like he's a guy that make plays in the post as well as hit the jumper.

How is he in the post compared to Z?

Hopefully much better...

Z's post game gives me the same feeling that I had with Snow's long range game...

Quite frankly i don't know why people think CDR is such a better fit for this team than Rush.

Brandon Rush is a MUCH better pure shooter than Chris Douglas Roberts, Ive had the chance to watch alot of their games, and CDR has said before than he knows he isn't the best pure shooter, but rather he just knows when to take the three.

CDR didn't look like a shooter until the drive and kick offense of Memphis opened up alot of the looks for him.

Rush stayed above 40 percent from 3 during all three years at Kansas, while CDR never broke 33 percent in his first two years.

While you give the edge to CDR in terms of penetration ability and maybe even defense, if its offense you want from the get go between these two guys when you factor in our offensive set up, Ive gotta believe its Rush. JMO

Think about it this way. CDR knows when to take the 3.. That's the point. He knows where he should take his shots, when to go for it, and when to pull back. He knows what he's doing, and he will make it happen. I want that determination on my team.

I want points in the paint...

Too bad. That's what you get in a drive and kick offense where the defense doesnt respect the perimeter.

Yeah, to bad we re-signed Sasha...That was unfortunate..I'm glad there's those that condone a Sasha over Posey signing..

Not to mention Wally's overall suckness..

Maybe we'll be fortunate enough to obtain another driver, so defenses can't just focus on one driver of the ball...

Isn't that the point, though? Do we really want a chucker who just hoists 3s at the drop of a hat? I'm not saying Rush is a chucker, but one of the things about CDR is that he has an extremely high basketball IQ. Knowing when to take certain shots is one reason. If anything, you just stated a huge POSITIVE for CDR over Rush.

CDR didn't look like a shooter until the drive and kick offense of Memphis opened up alot of the looks for him.

For a guy who might be playing with a facilitator as good as LeBron and a shooter as deadly as Boobie Gibson, CDR will get a ton of opportunities with the Cavs. His midrange game be money, esp coming off screens.

Rush stayed above 40 percent from 3 during all three years at Kansas, while CDR never broke 33 percent in his first two years.

Yeah, but CDR was at 41.3 percent this past season, and he averaged more points in each of the past two seasons than Rush did in any of his three seasons. The bottom line is that CDR gets buckets. Rush is a streaky player who doesn't have a reputation of giving it his all every time. CDR is blue collar guy from Detroit who is tough as nails and gives his best effort far more often than not.

While you give the edge to CDR in terms of penetration ability and maybe even defense, if its offense you want from the get go between these two guys when you factor in our offensive set up, Ive gotta believe its Rush. JMO

Rush is definitely a better long-range shooter, but CDR gets points in a variety of different ways and is much more versatile. I wouldn't factor in how our offense is set up when deciding between these two guys, but rather who can get baskets in a variety of ways. I think it's CDR.

Fastest player in college basketball...allegedly has a promise ONE SPOT behind us...we missed Farmar by one pick...

In all seriousness, though:

1. Lawson
2. (Blank)
3. CDR
4. Budinger (hey, he runs the floor and hits shots. I'd rather have a guy who can create offense, but at least he's got solid skills we know should translate. He may not be the white J.R. Smith, but he'd be fine.)
5. Kufos
6. Batum
