If we won the lottery...
Would you rather take Beasley or Rose? Rose is the obvious choice as we already have Aldridge at pf. However, We may be able to get Conley + more for Aldridge. Beasley is clearly a better rebounder and shooter than LMA, and Conley is having success in Memphis. What do you guys think?

You ALWAYS take the BPA in the draft. The problem
is which player is better or more to the point, do
better in the NBA. Beasley seems to be better
and will probably translate well to the NBA.
Rose tho is not far behind and will most
likely translate well too. Its not a easy
choice at all. Personally I like Rose
more but Beasley will probably
be the better player.. .so I
guess I'd go with Beasley.
I think you put Beasley at SF,
LMA at PF then move Roy to PG
if Rudy does well. Rudy at the SG.

I would almost certainly trade out of the number one spot. Beasley might be a great player, but I really don't think his attitude fits in with our team. I'd much rather have Rose, and he fills a bigger need. We could also trade the pick for a more established PG; however, I can't think of a player that's worth that pick, fits our team age group, and is available.

Yeah. So is Chris Paul. Im sure glad we dont have that guy.
Mike Conley is no way near Chris Paul's level. And i dont see quite how Conley would be an upgrade from Jack or Blake. From what i have seen from Conley this season, it doesnt look like he will have a successful nba career. he falls under the category of those small guards in the nba that can't do much.
we need a pg that can attack the rim with his strength

How much did Connely's team improve this year?
And how much did the Hornets improve Paul's rookie year?
He didn't play for a long time due to injury. When he finally came back, he looked pretty good especially considering that he was playing and trying to play himself into playing shape. I wasn't really even disagreeing with you though (even though I dont think he's a bust) I just didn't like your reasoning that he is too small to play pg in the NBA.
