Jesus did we get screwed

So, basically we got the 5th over all pick in the 2010 NBA draft. What will we do with it? On most boards the top 2 big men (the ones we were fighting over) wont be left for us, and the 2 guards we were trying to figure out who fits best with our NoPG (or as i like to call him OurPG). So who do we take? Johnson? Aminu? Davis? Aldrich?

We already have 3 SFs (and 2 are our SF of the future), Davis is slipping down most people draft boards because he is kinda soft (which is what we need another soft 6-10 guy) and Aldrich is a bit of a reach at 5. So that leads us to Monroe who is slipping because of lack of aggressiveness and athleticism.

Just to throw this out there, I think Kevin Love would Fit beautifully with JT, Hawes, Laundry. I'm not saying we trade our 5th overall pick for K.Love, but i do think his rebounding, passing and basketball IQ would fit in great with our cutting Beno, our Hawes hitting 3s (once in a while) and He would really help out the rebounding. Maybe we trade (and this is without looking at numbers) Noc, Cisco and throw in a 2ed round pick, while we also swap first round picks. T-Wolves get Cisco, and a peice to trade to a contender (SA? Utah?) and get an extra pick. And they only lose 1 spot in the draft while trading a player they already have 2 of. Maybe i'm just a homer.....

Tell me what do you think we should do with our 5th over all pick?

I dont know why everyone is freaking out so much

You have to be used to this shit by now. I’m not phased at all by this. I’ve already tried to state my case about the crappy lottery system but got shut down so whatever.

Ya I expected this

No big deal. Plenty of good guys in the draft. The draft never goes exactly as all the experts predict anyway, there is always a curveball or two.

You're a Star Trek fan aren't you?

I, for one, am stunned

There are some guys smarter than me, some guys better looking, I take comfort in the fact that there is no guy that is both.

I think favors or cousins will fall to us because the wolves will draft Johnson. So I’m still excited

+1

I think we get Cousins though.

I am hoping that by some good fortune one of these guys falls to us and that it will be Cousins.

To be the best, you have to do your best. Otherwise, you are only second-rate.

Why would they Take Johnson?

Why not trade One of their big men for more parts?

by shadowchicken on May 18, 2010 6:20 PM PDT up reply actions

Because Johnson is really good!

by Doors Open on May 18, 2010 6:21 PM PDT up reply actions

I also could see us drafting W. Johnson at 5 as well and have play the 2. I know Johnson has been compared to Joe Johnson and I can definetly see him contributing the same way JJ did to start his career with the Suns.

You think we can still get Foye and Miller?

Because we really need a 2 guard.
