After playing around with ESPN's draft machine seems like Chad Ford believed we will pick Gordon if we can't get beasley.

After playing like 50+ times with the machine, we drafted Gordon at 80% them, beasley like 15% and Bayless 5%.

I couldn't find a single scenario where we would end up with Rose.

And according to both NBADraft and Draftexpress we are picking Brook lopez


i don't watch the NCAA, what grizzlies fans think about Gordon being our second choice after beasley?

I've seen quite a few Grizz fans who are interested in Gordon. I haven't seen that much of him so I can't really speak on him, but I would say I'd rather have Rose.

Gordon would make sense since the Grizzlies don't have a single pure SG in their normal rotation unless you count Navarro (who'll be a RFA anyway). Miller's a SF, Crittenton's a combo guard and Jacobsen's not a basketball player. Seems like Chad Ford has us drafting based on need.

If we draft based on BPA though (normally a smart strategy), I'd go with Rose.

I'd go;

1. Beasley
2. Rose
3. Gordon/Mayo

Lowry & Crittenton are nice to have around but you don't pass up on a talent and physique like Rose because of them. Plus he's a fan favorite and got mad potential. Conley though would be backup tho..? Hm, drafting Rose would be smart but only if you have a good GM to work out the aftermath (which sorry but it doesn't seem ur gm is :P).

Gordon or Mayo is the harder decision, with Mayo playing great lately. I don't know who I'd pick here.. Btw would Gay move to full-time SF then?

Actually yea, Rose-Gordon-Mayo could go either way.. Very close, but I give Rose the edge cause he's a Memphis hero already

All these sites have us taking Brook Lopez. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!1

I want Rose the most out of anyone in the draft.

Would you give up on a Ford Taurus and a Kia Sephia if you could get a Rolls Royce? I certainly would.

Damn whats with all the car analogies going round lately..

I'm glad to see our guys playing hard and ending the season with some wins but I also want a good pick.

[thaKEAF]

Well it's time to play the waiting game. If we fall to number eight it'll hardly even fase me, because last year's lottery killed me.

DraftExpress has us taking Hansbrough with the 28th pick. Thoughts? I kinda keep forgetting we got that pick.

[HB]

Did Hansbrough declare?

[thaKEAF]

Not yet but alot of people seem to think he'll at least enter his name.
