Bogut - buy. Immense amount of talent, etc etc etc. Just the Bucks will need to grab a very good lottery pick next year and keep Redd around to have a prayer.

[/ QUOTE ]

Bogut is the right pick for the Bucks. No way he becomes a top tier player IMO.

[/ QUOTE ]


I agree. Boghut will be a good player, but top-tier just ins't in teh cards for him. He will have a nice long career barring injuries. He reminds me a lot of a Rik Smits type. Smits was the second pick in his draft and had a long career as a very good player, I think Boghut is gonna be along those lines

I didn't think anyone like the idea. I thought it would be fun but most people didn't answer. I would be happy to rank it out and start Round 2.

Question 1:
Last night the Bucks grab Andrew Bogut with the top pick in the 2005 NBA draft. Buy or Sell Bogut becoming a top tier NBA player and the right pick for the Bucks.

[/ QUOTE ]

Buy: Bogut is easily going to have a quicker impact on the league than Williams at the #2 pick. Williams wasnt even starting his 1 year in the NCAA's and had an all-star cast of lottery picks to play with. Bogut was the star on the team and carried them to an impressive year. Granted he will still be a work in progress in the NBA but he will be a quicker impact player. With the re-signing of Michael Redd, Bogut is easily the best pick ofr the Bucks.

[ QUOTE ]
Question 2:

The Atlanta Braves are gaining ground on the Divison leading Nationals. Buy or Sell the Washington Nationals winning the NL East.

[/ QUOTE ]

Buy: Unlike the Baltimore Orioles, the Nationals are actually going to make some moves that will make them better and allow them to finish the season strong. The Nationals pitching has remained stable all year, with Livan Hernandez absorbing innings and allowing the bullpen rest. Loiaza has been semi consistant enough to where they can expect to win when he pitches. With possible trade rumors of getting Adam Dunn from Cinci, he could be just what they need to spark that Offense and becoming the best "2-run lead" winning team in baseball instead of 1-run.

[ QUOTE ]


Question 3:

Derrick Lee continues to tear up pitching and leads the majors hitting 387. Buy or Sell Derrick Lee winning the triple crown this year.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sell: The triple crown may not be ever obtained again in this age of baseball. Barry Bonds will be the closest and thats only because he didnt get anything to hit. If Barry cant do it while Batting .362 with 45 HR's, Lee wont be able to down the stretch. Granted he will break his career HR's and RBI's but he has never hit more than 32 and 98.

Edit: I didnt read anyones before posting.

1- Sell. Bogut over Williams (and others) will go down as a joke. Not to insult Brad Miller, but when that's your top end, you're not a #1 pick. I also don't think he'll be Brad Miller.

2- Buy. Sure why not.

3- Sell. People wig out about this every time somebody is close to tripple crown number and they end up way off the pace.
