Fair enough. Then if we get #1, it's Beasley. If #2, it's Beasley or Rose (whichever is left); if #3, we go Mayo. If #8, it's a toss up b/t Westbrook, Love, and the kid from LSU as far as I can tell. Sound about right to you?
I was blown away ohara. After reading so much about him I thought he was all offense, all show and no go. Then I watched him about 6 times during the season and the thing that stuck out to me the most was his D- suprisingly more so than his offense. He gets way down low when guarding his man, always keeps his eye on where his man is and doesn't lose him, fights through screens and plays the lanes really well.Originally Posted by ohara831@aol.com
I was really suprised - and seeing the way he plays D was the turning point for me and wanting him at #3.

Sounds right to me unless we trade the pick (wonder if MJ would risk trading a top 2 pick/Crash for Melo?).
We could really use some luck tomorrow night.
I agree - although I'd still keep DJ there in the mix with the #8 pick.
gotta keep DJ on the list as its the easiest draw. we can bring him and just hope he lives up to potential.
if you bring in Mayo or Rose... you gotta do some moving around with the roster.
I cannot agree with Augustin at the #8. He is only a slight upgrade over Ray, if at all. We need something much more significant this Draft and offseason. This is a crucial yr. We have to win and do something good to keep the fanbase growing. If we suck again, we stand to lose some fans to apathy.
I see this as depending upon whether we get a Top 3 pick or pick at #8. If #1, we grab Beasley and we have our PF. Best of all possible worlds for the Bobcats. If #2 and we get Rose (if #2 is Beasley it still works like we got #1!), then we have Ray to bargain away for a quality PF or another late Lottery pick where we grap a Big, perhaps getting lucky and getting Love. If we get #3, then we grap Mayo and we then have the option to play him at SG, J-Rich at SF, and we can trade Crash for a Lottery pick and then grab our PF, again maybe getting lucky and getting Love. Any of these 3 work out well. We grab Beasley and we have a great starting 5, or we grab Rose or Mayo, trade either Ray or Crash, and then get our PF. Any of these will improve us greatly and will make an exciting young team.
If we hold the #8 spot, I can see Westbrook as a good pick. He can play the PG, SG and is a lockdown defender. Great choice. We can go with Love, and play him at the PF. He will greatly increase our BBIQ, and has great potential to play alongside Okafor as a great Frontcourt. I am torn between he and Westbrook at #8. A darkhorse option is Randolph at #8, but I am concerned about taking another "potential" star and having it fall through. That will only serve to disappoint the Bobcat fans again. Look how Tyrus Thomas has disappointed fans in Chicago and LMA has blossomed nicely in Portland. That was a miserable deal for Chicago fans. We have had too much disappointment in the recent past. We need success. We cannot afford to fail this Draft!
First we need to get lucky and some how land Beasley. Or get createive through trade and draft picks and still land Beasley. We got to have a quility four through trade ,free agency, or the draft. Right now i would give up this years pick and next years pick just to land Beasley. Because i think hes the only P/F in the draft thet will make a big impact including Love and Randolph?
Dont look now, but NBAdraft.net has DeAndre Jordan rising again up to #6, and Brook Lopez falling to us at #8. I think Lopez at #8 would be a steal! That is a true 7 footer with weight and a good inside game. I would be very happy getting him at #8 to pair with Okafor.
changed my mind. number 2, callin it now.
i wish.
Make you a deal.
If we land the #2, I buy you a beer. If we land the #3, you buy me a beer.
Then, because we are so thrilled that we landed a top 3 pick we go on to drink the bar dry!!
