I feel like a good three point shooting big goes very well with Steve Nash and the Wariors system, thoughts?

Okur is an underrated center who should thrive playing the pick and pop with Nash, and as a trailer. My only concern is that Steve needs at least one strong help defender behind him.

I like Okur quite a bit.  It's a solid selection.

The Golden State Warriors Select Memet Okur


Another good starting C off the board.

Looks like they are rebuilding the Jazz with Nash instead of Williams.

Best shooter Center in the league? Though my problem with Okur is on the defensive end. I do love him paired with Nash.

Usually, I like to shop my pick at this point, but those who have been contacting me know I had a target already planned for this spot and am happily surprised he made it this far.




The Nuggets select Jeff Green

I like him a lot for your team.  He's a great fit (as I said even before I knew you had him targeted).

another good "in the future" pick but too early otherwise IMO. I like Jeff Green's game. He started off slow last year but really came into his own from 20 games on and filled up the box score. Good pick nevertheless.

Josh Howard is good value, and a good fit with the rest of your team.

I love the Westbrook selection. He was the pg I was looking at; had I been more willing to trade away my opportunity to draft Monta Ellis. It's worth mention that he was the 30th best on the offensive glass last season.

Only thing I don't love about his game

He averaged over 16 and 6 while shooting 38% from the outside.  I think he is a player that is being overlooked because of his big star teammate.  On this team, he will now be playing with a strong inside presence.

Is he gonna play the 3 or the 4?
