What's Your Gut Telling You?

Fat-cat_medium

Toonces settles in for 2010 NBA Draft 


OK, forget about all of the hyperbole, conjecture, and theories. Step away from the mock drafts, and stop twittering for a moment. What is your gut telling you? What is the little man inside you trying to convey? You have to listen to the little man!

For this exercise, just go with your instinct. Close your eyes, shut off all outside influences, and let the first five picks just flow out of your pores. I tried it, and for no rhyme or reason, I came up with this:

1. Wall

2. Turner

3. Johnson

4. Cousins

5. Favors

Understand, this is the gut of a 51-year-old Caucasian male - slightly short for his weight and increasingly irritable -  talking. It lacks the expertise of Chad Ford, and it is not plugged in like Woj or Mannix or Thomsen or even Ziller. These picks are the bi-product of 51 years of bad dietary practices, and that should be factored when giving these picks (any) credence.

So, that said, what is your gut telling you? The thread awaits.

Right now the only way I see Cousins not being picked by the Kings is if a) Favors is around (unlikely) or b) Philly takes Cousins with the 2nd pick

Is that likely?

Or let me put it this way

The worst case scenario for me is of the big 5 (if you wanna call them that), is that Evan Turner is the remaining of the 5 to be picked. IMO, he’s going to be the worst pro out of Wall, Johnson, Favors & Cousins. All have much better physical profiles that give them greater odds to succeed.

Agree

There is usually always a player who was expected to go in the top 5 that ends up droping to everyones surprise. I believe that it’s wesley johnson. Wesley said he expects to go to the Nets or wolves, he might of jinxed himself.

by MarcusC on Jun 23, 2010 11:03 PM PDT up reply actions  

I think Favors is that guy...

I think the top five will all be drafted within the first five picks, but I think Favors could fall to 4 or 5. That is the only real surprise I see in the top five. Before the lottery people were sure Favors would go at two or three. Wesley Johnson wasn’t even really mentioned consistently before the lottery as being a top five guy.

I think we’ll all be surprised at what order the top five goes in though.

I (I mean my big ol' gut) actually agree

Kahn seems to want to get rid of Jefferson and his big contract and it seems to me that Cousins who is a 5 could be a good fit next to Love who is a 4. Or is Love actually a 5? I know the knock was that both Jefferson and Love were undersized last year to play the 5. If that happens and Johnson is gone at 3, then Favors goes to us.

Why?

Monroe will be a stud. The NBA is (historically) full of successful “non-uber-athletic” centers. Monroe has an awesome skill set.

Rebounding? Check.
Defense? Check.
Passing? Check.
Hard working (by reputation)? Check.

He’s not flashy, but he’s beyond solid.

I don't know why

Everyone is so down on Monroe. Somehow he has been labled as being like Hawes or Miller just because he is a good passer. He has a lot of skills actually and while I realize he likes to shoot the outside shot, he also averaged almost 10 rebs last year which is way more than Hawes did in college.

Is he a good defender?

I wasn’t able to see him play this year, but got the impression from the Hawes/Miller comparisons that his defense leaves much to be desired? .

As I think there is a good chance we draft him, I would love to hear that this is incorrect.

1. Wall
2. Turner
3. Johnson
4. Cousins
5. Favors

Johnson is this year’s James Harden… not nearly as good as players taken after him (Evans, Curry, Jennings) but “fills a need”. Drafting like this to me is idiotic, but as a Kings fan I’m fine with teams doing this every year in front of us.

All I know for sure is the Kings got the shaft last year and with the worst record didn’t even get a top 3 pick… they got the worst they could get, pick number four…

…and they got the best player in the draft… a future superstar in this league… so I’m over the whole thing of feeling cursed and screwed as a 20+ year Kings fan.

There are a lot of sources saying Johnson goes to either NJ or the Wolves and therefor, the Kings will land one of two superstar potential players, Cousins or Favors. Tomorrow will be a great day for Kings fans.

My gut tells me that we got very lucky last year and that it isn't happening again.

1. Wall
2. Turner

4. Johnson/Cousins
5. Monroe

I rarely go with my gut

I think with my Johnson.
And the way that has been going lately, I think Johnson will not get any top 5 action. Also, there’s often a surprise in the draft.

So then we have this:
1. Wall
2. Turner
3. Cousins
4. Favors
5. Monroe

Amateurs. Here's your order:

1)
2)
3)
4)
5)

Even if Detroit or someone trades up, this is how things are going to go.

My gut has got some Chinese buffet in it so I guarantee it will feel different come tomorrow morning.

by Merickel on Jun 24, 2010 12:59 AM PDT via mobile reply actions  

I'm thinkin' it'll go:

Wiz: John Wall
Sixers: Evan Turner
Nets: Wesley Johnson
Pistons (via T Wolves) DeMarcus Cousins (Detroit trades up)
Kings: Derrick Favors (there ya go, pookey!)

Bonus prediction: T-Wolves draft Luke Babbitt at #7

Are you sure you aren't just doing this for yourself

Given A) you’re not the biggest Cousins fan and B) you covet Favors as well?

Possibly

I’d definitely prefer if this is the way things did work out.

But we do know that the Pistons really want Cousins, and they went so far as to hold private workouts for him a couple of days ago, (which is weird since no one projects Cuz to fall to 7).

And we also have a pretty good idea that Minnesota isn’t getting the player they supposedly wanted in Wesley Johnson; they already have Al Jefferson and Kevin Love but could use a wing player; and they worked out Luke Babbitt on Tuesday. Taking Babbitt at 4 would be a bit of a reach, right?

Anyway, I just wanted to make a ridiculously bold prediction, but it is more or less anchored in actual possibility.

My gut says Sierra Nevada Summerfest.

And then it says:

Cousins
Johnson
Favors
Turner

my gut is telling me two things

1. Cousins!
2. If it’s not Cousins you’re going to feel nauseous.

That’s nice of my gut to let me know what to expect in either case.

by Kevin Conroy on Jun 24, 2010 5:15 AM PDT via mobile reply actions  

My Gut says do some excercise, my fiance agrees.

1.Wall
2. Turner
3. Favors
4. Cousins
5. Monroe..a future 6 time all-star

While I will be upset at the chance of not getting Cousins, I will be happy withthe versatility of Monroe. IMHO he is mature and will become an above average defender and rebounder in the NBA, while displaying a good all around offensive game.

No matter what, my Gut will love this future King as much as it likes great wine, good beer, fried food, big juicy steaks and everything that makes it what it is, big and round!

Cousins

And if he’s gone by then, it will be Greg Monroe.

My gut says...

“Thank you for not getting emotionally invested in this year’s draft so that we don’t have a repeat of last year’s primal scream followed by too much Ben & Jerry’s and barbecue potato chips. Your plan for a nice evening with microwave popcorn and diet A&W rootbeer sounds lovely!”

I have a lot of gut to go by, and it says:

1) Wall
2) Turner
3) Cousins
4) Favors
5) Johnson

Bonus Gut Grumbles:

- I don’t think the 1-5 drafting teams as they stand as of 8:25 am PT will hold by the time the draft is underway.
- We are going to regret not getting Cousins
- We’re looking at another sub-30-win season

I think it will go down like this:
1. Wall
2. Turner
3. Johnson
4. Cousins
5. Favors

by dalt99 on Jun 24, 2010 9:00 AM PDT reply actions  

I am having the same problem as you, Dalt - my gut is fighting with my brain.

My gut is mixed with a lot of fear that Cousins will be taken before the five, but then there is an element of hope that all the stars will align and destiny will see Cousins at the five and he will be a King before the day is out. So here is my hopeful gut:

1) Wall
2) Favors
3) Turner
4) Johnson
5) Cousins
