Re: Re-Doin' the 2008 draft
Can someone explain to me how Mayo fell to 5???? I could argue him at 1 under this set of circumstances. Rose may ave won rook of the year but Mayo actually WAS the best rookie last season. But I can see him staying at third...what I dont get is how the fans of the Twolves and the Thunder didnt take him...I dont get that.
Wait a sec. Didnt the Grizz get him at 3rd last year? or was there a draft day trade that I am forgetting?
Anyway...glad to see Brook move up...not that its a shocker....he should be 4th after Mayo, Beasley and Rose in some order.

Minny picked him 3rd then traded him to memphis for Kevin love.

I'm sorry E, but I can't disagree with you stronger here and I like Mayo a lot.
1st off, Beasley would be lucky to go 5th overall if this draft was redone with hindsight and the observations of a whole season. I am not sure there is any reason he should have went above Westbrook or Gordon depending on what team is drafting.
2nd, Rose still goes 1st IMO. Lopez and Mayo likely battle it out for 2nd overall, Love likely goes 4th, although Eric Gordon can be thrown in there as well.
3rd, is Mayo really that much better then Eric Gordon, truthfully if at all?
