The Cleveland Cavaliers select

"Sweet" Lou Williams

To add depth and defensive acumen at the 1/2.  This could be a breakout year for the young man.

DKC Bucks. Also terrible.

MIL and MIN miss their picks?

i do like this lightning round version... but could see how it's harder the later in the round you are.

Good value...I was wondering how far he'd drop, but tough to build a convincing case for him the way he's been dumped around the league throughout his career.

I think Manu is a great 2nd or 3rd option like he is on the Spurs. I think Rashard is a good 2nd or 3rd option, as he is on the Magic. I think Portland is selling the 10 starter thing, because they're going to try and trade for a real #1 option big man (like Duncan or D12 in the previous examples). Don't be fooled people. I can't see Roy loving a team with Bibby or Jermaine starting on it ;)

20/10 guy in the 6th round...I felt he was the best value left on the board

Boom goes the dynamite.

At this stage, I understand the gamble, definitely.  However, the guy is a proven "me first" team killer who refuses to play defense and makes terrible decisions.

Well, I suppose that's how you have to attack us, since you're a competitor.  However, Manu, Rashard, and Redd are all legitimate stars.

probley still a bit early for this kid, but we have  a glaring hole at his position, and its getting thin at PG.

The flamingo's select mario chalmers

Like this pick.  West has some good teams.


One think I'm not giddy on about Portland (besides the injury issues) is that their go to guy and arguably their best player is their 6th man. He's great, but it says a little about their starting line-up. I guess they're going for that Pistons look, but I liked Billups a lot more than Bibby and Sheed equally as much more than O'Neal. Just one man's opinion. I like what Houston and Buffalo have done in the West. I think it's Buffalo's spot to lose, since they have Dwight Howard.

Here's the thing, though.  We can always restructure our starting lineup.

Miller
Rashard
Manu
Redd
Bibby

With O'Neal, Delonte, Gomes, and Hawes off the bench.  It's not about who starts games, it's about who finishes them.  San Antonio has thrived for years with Manu coming off the bench, so we'll probably replicate that.  However, things can change.


Imagine that lineup
