NBA Draft
I am starting to get very nervous that Kevin McFale is going to screw up the Timberwolves draft…again. I’m hoping (realistically) that the draft will go:
1. Chicago – Rose
2. Miami – Beasley
3. Minnesota – Mayo
….
11. Indiana – Brook Lopez
If, for some reason Miami takes Mayo, I could handle taking a guy who averaged 26-12 in the Big 12 (Beasley). There have been rumors of the Wolves trading down. Unless they are receiving an All-Star in return, DON’T TRADE THE PICK. I don’t mean a one time All-Star like Wally Szczerbiak. I mean a perennial All-Star. That likely will not be available, so keep the pick and take OJ Mayo.
With the third pick in the 2008 NBA Draft…
There are a bunch of sites claiming the Wolves will select Brook Lopez with the third overall pick. Please tell me McFale won’t do it. Please tell me this is all just speculation. Please tell me the decision makers remember Felton Spencer, Luc Longley and Paul Grant. Nothing can make it more clear than these two videos. You will notice in the first one, they do not show the ball going through the hoop once. Not once. The second one is a video of OJ Mayo, who I believe should be the #3 pick at this point.
Brook Lopez (likes comic books and basketball isn’t his life):
OJ Mayo (his life is basketball):
