Lexy. I'm still very interested to see what he can do with his combination of size and skills once he has a little time to mature.

Im ok with us picking Ajinça but since you included Ibaka as an option in this poll I could not resist.

I like Ajinca but with Nicolas Batum still on the list that made this real easy for me...I had been hearing about that kid since he was like 17 or 18 cant remember the show but they were comparing him to Scottie Pippen...In his first year he went from late 1st rd pick to bench guy to starter

Funny that bad Lopez twin is not even an option (highest pick not drafted in this re-doing except Alexander). Neither I would pick him but still.

No one actually likes those players, they just prefer them over the French project.

I have no doubt they'll show their ugly mugs once voting was closed and complain about how we're all idiots.
