Draft Lottery 5/19 

Post#1 » by SD2042 » Mon May 18, 2009 8:49 pm

The draft lottery is on Tuesday night. Right now, the Grizzlies currently hold the sixth spot in the predraft lottery right now. The Grizzlies are staring down another opportunity to attempt to win the #1 pick of the draft. Considering our history of not getting lucky to claim the #1 spot, who to say we will achieve the chance of winning out come Tuesday night. Also, for those who are interested, the draft lottery party will be held down at the Buffalo Wild Wings at Poplar and Highland.

1. Sacramento
2 Washington
3 LA Clippers
4 Oklahoma Cty
5 Minnesota
6 Memphis
7 Golden St.
8 New York
9 Toronto
10 Milwaukee
11 New Jersey
12 Charlotte
13 Indiana
14 Phoenix

I'm sticking with the trend. I've been saying we'll be sixth about a month or two before the end of the season and I expect us to stay at 6.

Blake Griffin fits the best with the Grizzlies.

PG - Conley
SG - Mayo
C - Gasol
PF - Griffin
SF - Gay

Whew! That's a good YOUNG team!

Grats on #2 guys. You guys think you're taking Rubio or sticking with Conley?

Edit: I'd go for Rubio. You all have some good scorers and the kid can run an offense.

Good luck with whoever you take and good luck next season.

I'd assume you'd take Rubio, but with Conley any chance you might take Thabeet?

Gasol is already there and is a much more proven center.

Accept it already. Rubio is a Grizzlie.
