Re: Wolves 2008 Draft, with assumptions
it sucks to have to root for a team that is talking lotto at the start of the season, but as a nugget fan i know what its like.
first let me answer your senerio. 8th and the 14th pick. if i had to choose right now. I'll give you some names of a few guys that could be around.
I see the Wolves as a team that could have a few potiental stars on the roster. Al, Brewer,Foye, McCants, we are talking some really solid guys down the road. the problem is you need a superstar. A melo, lebron, or at least a team leader like say billups to go with 4 other really quality guys.
So with the 8th pick I would hope for Eric Gordon to fall into that slot. Just flat out take the best talent available. Assuming Mayo, Beasley, and Rose are gone thats what you obviously do. Hope for Gordon.
If you get a top three pick then you have a decision to make. If you are the third pick its easy because you just take the one that didnt get picked, but at one or two you have a decision to make. I think its pointless to pick one right now, but I have my eye on Mayo. But Beasley could be a great player if he keeps his head in the game and Rose has serious skills too.
With the 14th pick I take the best available big man. It will have a lot to do with how the NCAA season goes. Jordan should be off the board by then. One of the following should be around though
Thabeet,Love, Caracter. Thabeet is that tall center we all crave, but love has serious game at 6'9 or 6'10. Caracter has a lot of talent but also a lot to prove this year. Id say away from hibbert, he should have came out last year. Will he be more than average in the nba? i dont think so. Id take Love or him for sure. But still its a wait and see game right now.
You never know how the draft with go though. Gordon might get picked up with the 7th pick. Then maybe you end up with Donte Greene at 8 and Bill Walker at 14. Who knows?
