Lopez or Mayo

We need a center in the worst way but Mayo is BPA.

Mayo or trade down.

Mayo Mayo Mayo Mayo Mayo Mayo

Mayo, Mayo, 1000 times Mayo.

I'm undecided at this point. But if we drafted Mayo then it probably means that Rashad is gone, so my vote is for Mayo.

OJ Mayo, and there is no contest.

I hope the Wolves feel the same way. I don't think they will risk passing on a potential star in Mayo.

I hope we don't grab Bayless. I see no use for him.

So is anyone disappointed?

You always are disappointed when you miss out on the #1 pick in a draft like this. But Mayo is a great runner-up prize.

Mayo. Not even need to think about this one.

Chad Ford has the Wolves taking Lopez. I hope he is not right.

Ugh, I just don't get this fascination with Mayo....

I mean I'm not gonna pretend to be some elite judge of talent, but I live in LA, watched maybe 6 or 7 USC games during the regular season last year, and I couldn't possibly be any less excited about this guy. Yeah, he'll probably score 20 pts per game for a bunch of years in the pros, but there's a lot of shooting guards out there who score 20pts but aren't the kind of guys who raise their team to another level.

I don't know, I can't even put my finger on it... But he just sort of plays like the kind of player who's pretty good at everything, but thinks he's god's gift to basketball and expects to be treated as such. he's a good passer but is too selfish to pass, a good scorer on the college level but not exactly a great shooter, and he's an athletic defender but has more defensive lapses than ricky davis.

he is NOT the next kobe. he's probably more likely the next jamal crawford.

i don't even know what i want to do with this pick, but i can't imagine myself cheering for this guy next year when i spent this past year shaking my head at him every game i watched.

Mostly, those are the ones that don't play defense. Mayo plays excellent defense. That is a huge distinction between him and guys like Michael Redd or Kevin Martin.

People have been saying Mayo is more suited for the NBA game than the college game at least since he was a junior in high school.

kinda, but I know McHale will take Lopez, so its A.G.

Didnt you think once that Tim Floyds offense+ Mayos abilities= a terrible match

He's also a better passer than the aforementioned two-guards

Any chance of the T-Wolves trading down to #4 so you guys can get Lopez and we select Mayo? Watson and/or Wilcox is up for grabs, along with the #24 pick in the draft.
