Immediate starter alongside the likes of Hoiberg, Deng, Kundla and English.

Oh yeah, Dickau, Stockton, McDyess, Eisley, Giricek and pick #6 on the bench.

This is a damn fine young squad.

Yup.  Has a chance to be the best well-rounded big in the draft.  B, C offensively is already very good.

I would say that right now he as well could be a 15 PPG scorer. For him to be one of the top power forwards, however, he is going to need to improve in defense and rebounding. He could end up having Gasol type ratings. That's the best case scenario.

small what is your perfekt size for PF 7´0?
his size is very good and his outside shot will also help very good pick.

6'10'' 227 lbs.

Not small, but not big.  He'll do quite well.

227 isn't very thick. There are ALOT of PF's who are bigger, and size matters in the post.

he is right.  Height and weight count in post offense and defense.  A bigger player has an advantage.
But that C outside could negate that smaller size.
The Sonics will be educating us this year on how much size in the post matters.

Chase Hoiberg is 6'10" 223 lb center, and George Boykins is a 6'10" 227 lb PF.  
And, if they resign Joe Smith, he is a 6'10" 225 lb PF.

Lol...  we shall see :)

That would be my guess.
Finley could be a defensive force like Tanner Houbreg, and have some good rebounding to go along with it....

With the signings of Nick Collison and Joe Smith, will this pick bite me in the but like Darko to the Pistons?

I strongly considered taking Gregory Schabinger, but I wasn't sure if I could sign both PFs.  Ah well, it's never too bad to have a boat load of young talent, right?
