Gasol at 17? Really? I think Mo's high too. Rest is fine.

I'm not going to lie I rushed the Gasol pick. I was targetting Granger, & Bosh but both were gone.
I took Gasol b/c he's a good % guy to put next to Howard, and on a good team. The Bynum factor does scare me a bit (and I forgot about), but I think Gasol will find his touches and was a safe pick.

I didn't want to take Mo, but I'm glaid I did. He was the best ranked point guard available, and if i hadn't then my point guard situation would have been in trouble. PG's are slim this yr, and to have one with some upside (Lebron James) makes me feel alittle safer.

I like it, but if you are going to tank FT%, start dumping PP and Jax when their value rises. Yes, Gasol, Mo, Salmons are definite reach. But you made up for some steals in late round. Should be a competitive team.

Which "steals" do you like?

BTW the trade worked out as Wade, Kevin Martin for D.Howard, Pau Gasol.

I like Rudy Oneal and Wallace as the late steals when you are tanking FT%

I don't think Gasol is that much of a reach...



Anyone want to guess whose stats are whose?

No idea do tell.

Top is Gasol post-trade
Bottom is Bosh.

Bosh wins 4 cats, Gasol wins 5, including a monster advantage in FG% while giving better assists and blocks (a rare combination). I'd still take Bosh ahead of Gasol but the difference isn't so big to say that Gasol is a reach for a late top 20 pick.

You think Bynum will play a factor on Gasol's stats this year?

Might poach a rebound or two per game, but it will help Gasol's defensive stats and let him keep his FG% among the league's best.
