Austin Daye owned Jordan Hill when they played each other...Blocked 2 of his jumpshots to boot. Why we wasting our time on this bum when we could be getting Daye, a Tayshaun Prince clone.
honestly, i don't even know who i want anymore.all the **** has been exhausting. just put out a good young competitive club out on the floor next year, to give us hope for the future, man..........
I think the goal is to get a PG plus...
Evans & Daye, or Curry & Terrence Williams. Something like that.... I hope!
Austin Daye is gonna be a bench warmer... he got outplayed in workouts and is the slowest of all prospects that went to the Chicago Combine (see below).

Omri Casspi Ain't No Punk, Austin Daye Quickly Learns
Posted Jun 15, 2009 1:45PM By Tom Ziller (RSS feed)
New Jersey hosted a massive workout over three days, inviting a whole slate of first round prospects and just about every NBA front office. Who stole the show? Austin Daye's fat lip. Or bloody lip, actually. Israeli prospect Omri Casspi reportedly manhandled the twiggy Daye in 5-on-5 competition. DraftExpress reported Daye ended up with a cut lip requiring stitches.
Wait ... a European player ... out-toughing an American? Mon dieu! Apparently, Casspi is doing the same thing at every stop. Not drawing blood necessarily, but throwing down the stereotypes that all Euros are stuffed with down and darned with straw. First the Gasols, now Casspi? Our world will never be the same.

NBA Draft Athletic Test Results Released: Who's Fast? Who's Fat?
Posted Jun 02, 2009 6:05PM By Tom Ziller (RSS feed)
DraftExpress has added the official athletic measurements from the 2009 NBA Draft Combine to its comprehensive (and addictive) database. In addition to the size measurements that came out last week -- height with and without shoes, wingspan, standing reach -- the results include 3/4-court sprint times, body fat percentages, bench press, agility numbers and everyone's favorite, the vertical.
Despite claiming to have lost 40 pounds since the end of the college season, DeJuan Blair still has the second-highest body fat count (12%) among those measured. Florida State's Toney Douglas, Patrick Mills of St. Mary's and UCLA's Darren Collison rate as the fastest first-round prospects. (Austin Daye would be the slowest. Yes, even B.J. Mullens and Blair beat him.) Jonny Flynn is the only cat to break the 40-inch mark on the max vertical. DeMar DeRozan is almost five inches behind Vince Carter. The real shocker might be the incredible similarity in numbers between top pick Blake Griffin and ... Tyler Hansbrough. Guh.
Daye has crazy length, good help defense, can finish in the lane, is agile, and can both shoot from anywhere on the court and handle the ball.
He is an ideal 4 for the Dantoni system.
if the wolves keep their picks, they will definitely draft Jordan Hill and a guard. takes the pressure off of us from drafting hill (yea right)
