More importantly, who are we gonna select, if the stars align and we get the #1 pick in the draft - Okafor or Anthony-Towns? I guess all the "experts" have convinced me go with Anthony-Towns. Big guys who are as athletic as he is and who can guard multiple positions are extremely valuable. His 81% free throw percentage should indicate he can develop a good outside shot.

Okafor can score down low, but he looked real slow on defense in the Championship game. Kaminsky is a good player, but Okafor will have to guard faster bigs in the NBA and Kaminski continually went right by him.

I like Towns, more so for his defense. While it is nice to watch Pek muscle his way into the basket, it isnt much fun to see his opponent walk to the basket and score, because of the lack of defense. Our two second round picks could be a nice addition as well. We could gamble on some over seas talent, and let them develop a couple years while being stashed over seas.

The team has a lot of young talent. If we can develop the young guys, and stay healthy, we should be a playoff team for several years. I realize to some, just being in the playoffs isnt anything, it is competing, and winning the championship, but this is MN, I will be happy with what we can get. We just may be able to make a strong run in a a couple years.

Congratulations to Wiggins, for winning ROY!

However intriguing it sounds, I am not sure it would be the best move.  Rubio may be lacking in scoring ability, but the offence certainly runs better with him.  He is a much needed veteran on this team.  I feel we need yet another QUALITY veteran on this team to bridget the wealth our young talent we have.  We don't have the luxury of good vets to dispose of one of Rubio status.  

Besides, we would screw up and pick the worst of remaining guards anyway.

If it were Rubio straight up for #4, they would be dumb not to do it, but what I read is that they want Rubio and Bazz, or Dieng, for the number 4, and we need to take on some bad salary to make the numbers work. Like what was said, the team would need some experience on the floor, and some mentors for this young group to grow to stars, without veterans they would take a lot longer, if ever to reach their potential.

 

Rubio straight up, get it done, but not if they need to include Shabazz, or Dieng.

I wouldn't do it. Rubio is a heck of a ball handler. Isn't much of a scorer but the offense runs so much better with him on the court. As said they need some vets on the team so getting rid of one of your best one isn't going to help the team. 

Now if you could dump the guy from Superman II I'd be all over it!!

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
