Probably more so, At this point. We had one of the best pass first PGs in Calderon, but had a much worse record.

It's hard to say. My question is which player-type do you use that first round pick on?

Realistically what would be kcp ceiling. Tony Allen with a better jump shot?

Thats a great comparison, Or even a Bruce Bowen. something about the trajectory of his scoring hints at him putting up more ppg than both. Dudes %s has steadily increased with no increase in playing time or plays being drawn for him. 1 would think he would be more potent on offense if he had plays drawn for him.

Nicely put. If we had drafted Burke we would have Knight as a shooting guard. I was all for drafting Burke but I have no regrets about getting the Pope. KCP has the potential to be Lindsey Hunter/Mike James good on D. every team needs a Pitbull, I think we got ours.

You don't draft a pitbull defender when you desperately need a pg and Burke and mcw still on the board.
Knight would not be our shooting guard, stuckey is still on this team and we would still have kris Middleton who is a damn good shooter up in Milwaukee this year.

Spilled Milk. Remember Joe went into the draft with his mind set on Knight still being our PG and if I remember correctly, He still wanted to sign Calderon. I don't think the debate here should be about KCP and Burke, It should be about Knight and Burke. Having said all of that, I went into draft night wanting Trey as well. And no matter how good he is/becomes. That doesn't make Pope any less worthy of being an 8th pick. both players have pretty high ceilings. My only knock on Pope is he needs to learn to handle the ball more. He'd be elite talent if he can learn to create off the dribble.

The writing is on the wall with Stuckey. He's having a good Year when he plays. but last Year he sucked. remember dude didn't make a single shot for like the first 10 games. Then he asked to come off the bench
... So at that time last season I don't think Dumars was keen on keeping Him. I like Rodney. But every season He's gonna suck then be stellar then be hurt. I hope Joe doesn't keep him, unless It's like a Will Bynum type of contract. Yeah we needed a Point gaurd. But we needed a shooting Guard also. Pope is Aaron Afflalo good. and the best thing to happen in his Young career was for us to have the injuries we had and him to get thrust into a starter role... Otherwise He would be like Mitchell. his #s are approaching gaudy. And that's gold for a rookie that doesn't play above the rim.

I'm done with Monroe. 21 points in first half by Blake. Embarrassing. 1-3 6 points 3 boards 3 TO horrible defense and played scared/passive offensively. No surprise Detroit went on run when they placed best defensive lineup late with drum smith kcp stuckey. Trade needs to happen ASAP or this is a lottery team.
These dudes really play unintelligent basketball. Some of the WOAT Basketball IQ
Better off being a lottery team.
