Vote for who you would take if you ran the Sonics.

If you vote other post who you would pick.


With Durant and Green they are already overloaded at SF- unless you see Durant as a career SG? Also, Wilcox will be due for a new (big) contract next year. Is he their future at PF?

BTW OKC goes with Supersonics like Memphis goes with Grizzlies.

I can see the Sonics trading this pick. If they see their core as Durant/Green/Wilcox, I don't see a good fit at PG or Center worthy of a top 4 pick. Since Wilcox doesn't block shots, you need a better intimidator than Lopez to pair with Wilcox in the frontcourt. On the same tolen, I don't see Bayless as the "PG" to run an offense through Durant and Green.

So I guess people see Bayless as being an effective PG?

Lopez...he's not a superstar in the waiting, but he's a very solid 7'er to pair with Durant/Green/Wilcox. How many 7' centers enter the league shooting 79% from the line? He'll be very solid for the next decade. The Sonics have 5 more picks on draft night to get swing players and PG prospects.

I'll put up pick 5 in a few hours- so last chance to pick at #4.

All of the mocks have them taking Bayless, but I'll go with Lopez. They have drafted a buch of crappy centers in the past, but at this point Lopez is a safe pick that fills a real need and is the best pick with no true PG worthy of this pick available.
