good guy
Why did he keep his maiden name?
Something tells me that a guard who is more physical would suit us better.
Dude is buckets. Not overly athletic or quick and definitely not strong, but he just knows how to score. He'll find ways to score. I think he's a very good compe or as well.
If he lands in the lap of the Hornets like I expect, you all will be in trouble for a number of years.
CP3, CDR, Peja, West and Chandler is scaryyyyyyy
what pick do the hornets have?
27th ... one pick after the Spurs.
I have seen him in some mock drafts going to the Spurs even though I think the biggest need is a SF who can score and defend well. CDR seems more on the SG side even though I like his game as well.
He gets my vote. If he is on the board and we don't draft the guy, I'll be shattered.
If New Orleans draft him after us, as suggested in this thread, it's all over.
He's a slasher who can finish around the rim with either hand. His jumper has gotten better every year (and that's without a coach like Chip). He's 6'6, but long.
Probably not an all-star level, but I think he'll be a steady contributor for a long time in the NBA.
I would have absolutely no complaints if we grabbed him at 26, regardless of who else is still on the board (within reason).
An initial gut instinct for me is to think that CDR would be about as well as the Spurs can do if they're seeking a player who can bring some immediate youth and athleticism. He seems to be a ferocious compe or and a smart kid who plays his guts out on both ends.
i agree because ideally we want a sf who can score and defend, but i wouldnt mind taking CDR even if he does end up being a sg. i think bowen will continue to start at SF next year so CDR might even start and manu comes off the bench, or their roles could switch. pop seems to be favoring the smaller line ups so manu could slide over to the sf position like he has been and play them together.
i would be happy if CDR fell into our laps.
I think there is a much better chance that CDR drops to our draft pick, than Rush.
he will be more of a high risk, high reward pick than for example Lee. if his style doesn't translate to the NBA, he will be out of the league soon and see a very nice career in Europe.
so it's a question of how much risk to take. CDR could develop into a very unique player in the Rip Hamilton mold, but also be another wasted pick. considering that the Spurs have wasted so many picks in the last years and that they don't have a 1st rounder 2009, I would rather chose a player like Lee, who has far less upside, but should be a save bet to become a helpful role player at worst.
Watching him in Memphis before Rose arrived this year, I saw him as a Rip Hamilton type. He's thin, but also plays very tough. I think at the very worst he would be a Kerry Kittles, which would fill a void in our line up. Low risk in my opinion.
I'd love to see CDR as well. I strongly doubt he will fall that far, but like everyone else has said, if he does... we need to grab him. Some will probably disagree with me here... but he actually reminds me of Manu a bit, and I expect him to have a good long career in the NBA.
I'd like him at 26. Spurs need scoring and this guy is one of the most ready-made scorers in the draft. But I expect him to be picked around 18-22 area.
agree on this estimation. a small chance that he drops to 26 could be that also Budinger drops because of many concerns about him and that the team looking for a similar player like we do and picking ahead of us (Magic at 22) will have the choice between this two and go with Budinger. (in case they still pick CDR, there is a chance that we get Budinger)
i think Brandon Rush fit to the spurs system better than him
If you mean chillin in the corner and shooting the 3. CDR is a guy that can get his own shot, and in my estimation we already have a surplus of guys who are set-shooters and have no ability to create for themselves
Amen Brother!!
He'll never be like the players you've mentioned. They both had and have a natural and beautiful stroke. CDR does not. Unless he dramatically pulls a jumper from no where, he'll be a runner, an undersized (weight) defender who has limited range in regards to consistency. We need buckets, not buckets on opportunity. We need someone who will get them on the regular, he'll def fit in a running system like PHX or a team who runs alot like N.O
that's because Rush score a lot of points at KU by cherry picking for 3s or just waiting for collins/chalmers to drive the paint and kick to him.
i really think the Spurs need another wing who can create his own shot. TO DATE - that does not describe Rush.
Huge contributor to Memphis this past year. Under-rated playing in the shadow of Derrick Rose. High basketball IQ, character guy, hard worker, unselfish. Didn't declare last year because he was honest enough to know he needed another year do develop. Plays defense. Plays defense. Did I mention plays defense? He can put points on the board, and has shown he can do it under pressure. Has an in-between game, which the Spurs need desperately. I think he's a legit 6'7", which is decent length at the 2.
He's mature enough to come in and get minutes as a rookie. That's difficult to find outside the lottery picks. Big plus, since we need help this year.
One big thing is, he's a winner. He has that compe ive fire that you see in the players that "do all the little things" during the course of a season.
good pick but mario and rush would both be better picks
