    If you let Spurs draft Reed, you basicly give them the next
    Stockton and Malone duo with Wemby there.

    Reed should be the pick, if you dont make that pick your dumb. lol

    they can’t possibly be drafting Sengun’s backup with the 3rd overall pick

    unless they’re planning to go in a different direction with regards to who they want as the starting C

    He is prophetic. If I remember right he called Carmelo Anthony to the Rockets three years early.

    Is it me or does every “Iko” report does more harm than good to this roster?

    Edey cooked him. Why isn’t Edey in contention for the number 1 pick?

    I like the Stockton comparison.

    I think Clingan will be a very good player, but at 1.03 you have to go for game changing upside, and I think Sheppard has that. Clingan's outside shooting is a significant problem in today's perimeter-oriented game.

    Iko just reports whatever the front office wants him to report--except when he's obviously wildly speculating

    The question is always, "why does the front office want him to report this?"

    Oh and I’m not necessarily sold on sengun either . I’m very worried about his injury and how it will effect him

    best case scenario is that he underperforms this year allowing us to lock him up long term cheaply and then he regains and improves his athleticism

    This is true. Also true of today's media in general -- but substitute out "front office" for government administration / corporate interest.
