Rose is just such a physical specimen at point guard. It is like LeBron at SF. Conley is frail and has to use quickness and will struggle against some defenders. However, imagine the mirror matchup. In 5 years, how does Conley keep Rose out of the lane? If we get the 2nd pick, I would probably lean toward drafting Rose (no brainer if Memphis goes undefeated and wins the title) simply because the Grizzlies at some point need to become more physical. Try and trade Conley for another top pick or player.

Rose just looks better every week.

Never saw it that way, but the more I think about it I have to say it might be true.

I like Conley, he does a lot of good things, however I'm not sure if he will ever be a franchise point guard. Of course point guards are by far the hardest position to evaluate because they usually need some time, Chris Paul is a once in a decade talent and an exception.

With the way Rawse was hyping up Conley I thought he was something special. He said he could win ROY over Durant.

Maybe I should just stop listening to him.

Uh...that was me...and yes you should stop listening.

You'd better stop misrepresenting me or we're going to take this outside.

Conley could very well be a Top 10 point guard and a Top 5 assist-man. He's also a standout person.

A Top 3-5 point guard? I don't know. I need to see more of him -- he's only played 20 games, and the first five or six were mop-up duty for Grandpa Stoudamire. He's still awfully young, coachable and has plenty of room to grow.

Interesting! So the Grizz are interested in drafting yet ANOTHER point guard

I wouldn't mind. Lowry's completely expendable. Crittenton is more of a two than a one.

You know after looking at the projections they have on draft sites, your best bet is to go with a guard. The big men at the spots they have them are just terrible picks

Rose is just too sick to pass up on. Like Rawse said, Lowry can be easily moved.

Top 10 would not be Top 5 or 3 though, I think TJ Ford is at that level when healthy, but he is not a Top 5 point guard either. It's just too early to tell how good he can become like you said.

I really don't think the Grizzlies should give Rose any consideration unless they see a surefire superstar. Drafting another point guard at this point would be weird although Rose would certainly bring a lot of fans in the arena.

Gordon would also make a lot of sense, I am not sold on Beasley.
