Pro-Mack: If you buy into the hype, he is a freak of nature with tremendous upside. He could anchor our defense for ten years and if he got even a hint of an offensive game, could be an all star. Plus, outside of first two or three picks, no one in the draft seems likely to be a big star, so if any year was worth taking the gamble, this is the one.
Anti-Mack:Has bust written all over him. He seems like Adonal Foyle to me in some ways. His winning smile and personality won’t score points in the paint. We just drafted Udoh (also a big brought in to provide defense – though he has a better game all around) and bringing in Mack would likely hinder his development (or Bismacks). Plus, if we might move Monta now or mid-season. Burks or Singleton will help us at the 2 spot.

If nothing else he shows passion and the desire to be great. That along with his physical tools is promising. If he is there at 11 i think we have to take a chance on him!

If the reporter asked him if he thinks he can be one of the league leaders in assits, he’d probably say yes to that also.

At No. 11 who cares if he busts the organization cannot bet on the number 11 pick to be an all-star and save them. At 11 you take risks, I would draft Bismack above Burkes, Thompson and even Morris just because he has already contributed in a very tough league at 18 and he has abilities that the Warriors lack, defense and rebounding. I see him as an Ekpe Udoh type without even an inconsistent jumper and with ability to rebound. We need more players like Udoh who can defend. We have a good offense and I think Bismack could potentially be the presence in the middle(even on the offensive side) in the future.

so I’m sold. I think listening to his interviews is worth the pick in itself.

Since most of our team has no D (Golen State Warriors), a big who offers weak side help, and rebounds should def help. Hell, we can use anybody, so it doesn’t matter who we pick.

< / Monta hater argument #1 >

I think I’ll be completely disappointed if we don’t get this guy. And since it seems more and more likely that we’re not trading Monta, I’d rather not draft a 2. As for offense, I wonder how they’ll make it work. I wish I looked at Chandler some more on what he did on offense.
