The Minnesota Timberwolves select : John Salmons

NO!

[Roy Hobbs]

Well, Gortat wasn't the player I was anticipating.  He's got good potential, but I think he would have been there at 4(20).

Salmons is a nice pick.  Last year he was amazing.

Solid player, kind of a volume scorer..whatever that means.

[Rondo2287]

Is there anybody more highly rated with pontential to be a huge bust than Gortat right now?  I feel like he is begging to be a guy in a couple of years that doesnt play anymore but whos contract is gonna float around for years

Its more like a McHale/ Danny Ainge thing.  . He had to bail, so I made his pick for him.

Agreed.  Though Crownsy was targeting someone else.

Boxers still looking to move into 6th round and have 7th, 9th, 10th, and many 11ths to discuss

I did too i saw a good fit on the board for  him im a little surprised...

Gortats not a bad pick though hes solid but might not be the best value. I agree you could possibly have waited on him.

Knicks select Marvin Williams.

I also have a guess, when the player gets picked can someone let me know. Or you can pm me the name now, I don't have a pick until 5.24

I dont think so, i watched more than just the magic games against us this year, and he's going to always be a very good rebounder and  a very good post defender.

I pretty much consider him Perkins without the polish of experiance, and it frees me up to use beasly as the 4 (and sometimes 3) and use sideshow like i wanted to while giving us a great interior presence. Also, i really needed a center and a PG, AV is not a starting center, he is far to small. I like salmons, but i consider his position filled.

I think it really comes down to if you trust ariza to be a starting SF in this league. alot of you consider that spot to be a need of mine. I don't.

 i think he's a hell of a player. hes athletic, can shoot and finsh, and unlike so many 24 year olds in the league, he prides himself on his defense and is very, very good at it at a young age.

His year was not a fluke, and he's going to prove that in houston. If he is still on my team when we review, ya'll will see
