Huh.  I wonder who was worth trading up for.  Falling down more than a round (from 5.10 to 6.17) seems like a lot to move up 8 spots.

The Memphis Grizzlies are more than thrilled to take Andrea Bargnani

Another one one my short list.

yea, he's defiantly talented, but again, i just couldn't bring myself to draft a seven footer who gives you little to nothing in the post on either end of the court.

Kid's a gunner trapped in a center's body.

Does anybody have Gomesfan's pick?  IP?

[KCattheStripe]

I understand the Bargs hate. But I do like the idea of a Bargs and Lopez front court, especially in alternating pick and roll situations with TP. I understand the rebounding and defense questions around Bargs, which is why I tried to move into the 3rd to grab Mehmo, but I do think his rebounding should improve over time and with Lopez and Gay being good rebounders its less of a worry. Also, it gives us another shooter for TP to drive and dish to. I do think that once Bargs and Bosh go their seperate ways, they'll both be better players.

Agreed, but thats less of a problem for me because I have Lopez.
