Bobcats War Room - 2008 Draft - Pick # 15 

Post#1 » by August Us Seazr » Thu May 8, 2008 1:04 pm

So, what do we do if our previous picks go as we have chosen, and we have traded with a playoff team? The picking is somewhat shakier here than at the top, but as we saw at # 22 last year, we got a great fit with our man Dudley! Cue Dudley-Do-Right theme song! Let's dig in.

Players off the board- Michael Beasley, Derrick Rose, Jerryd Bayless, Brook Lopez, O. J. Mayo, Danillo Gallinari, Eric Gordon, Kevin Love, Anthony Randolph, DeAndre Jordan, D. J. Augustin, Russell Westbrook, JaVale McGee, and Darrell Arthur.

We have 24 hours- We have 9 names to choose from- Get our guy! -Claw On!

Speights-

My reasons in order of importance:

1- He fits an area of need.
2- He has the body for the job.
3- I feel lousy about that coin flip denying Speights position # 14. I would have felt lousy for McGee too, if he had lost. I HATE HAVING TO BREAK TIES. I GUESS THAT'S WHY I DO NOT WEAR THEM. @#$%!

Is Robin Lopez athletic enough to guard 4s?

No, but he'd have no problem thumping them.

Is Marreese Speights? Seems pretty brutish to me. Just sayin, cause I've seen a lot of "fits a need" rationale. I don't really know who to vote for. I guess Marreese...

Draft express is ranking Alexis Ajinca a 20 year old 7'1"Center out of france at pos 17 and compare him with LaMarcus Aldridge
Anyone ever heard of him?

And with that, Marreese Speights is annointed our 15th guy on the draft board. Oil, anyone?

Next thread in just a few.

It was a toss up between Speights and Doc this pick.
