    Why not? If he goes to Memphis, he will be their inside scoring and they don't have anyone else to keep him from getting that many boards. I see alot of passes from Conley inside to Lopez coming in the near future
    </div>

    Wait, you're saying 16-18 ppg right off the bat? I'm calling more like 9-11 ppg, which will be great for a rookie big man. The guy's a horrible fit for the Grizzlies offense. I can actually see him going ot Memphis though, if Kevin Love is off the board, but I can't see him being that insanely productive. You think he'll come in and produce All-Star numbers? Pau Gasol was only a 19 ppg, 9 rpg player for the Grizzlies, but Lopez is going to surpass that in his first season? Besides, they only go with him if Kevin Love is off the board. There's no doubt in my mind, as someone who's lived in Memphis for the last twelve years and has learned how to read this media, I've got to think that Love has become far and away this team's target.

    I'd rather have Love than Lopez, but 5 is too high for either of them.

    Augustin is awesome, and I'm pretty jealous.

    I think our draft is going very well so far.

    It won't match the real draft, but it makes a lot of sense.

    I was considering Augustin at 6, so Hawksfan would be happy.

    Anthony Randolph
    D.J Augustin
    Darrell Arthur
    Russell Westbrook

    these were bascially the players I was targeting. With Shelden Williams as the only young PF in Sacramento I've felt this pick made some since.

    Why? You already have your bigs. No need to swing and miss

    You know a team with too many bigs?

    I like the thinking, actually. Portland is going to be a great team for years to come whether this pick pans out or not. Why not go for the fences?

    Deandre Jordan? I don't get it. Do you have a trade in the works, behind the scenes?

    Yeah I agree Portland doesnt need Jordan, I think they are going to consolidate and if they don't trade their pick, will take a PG (none available in this case) so I see them taking Alexander or Greene.

    Use Fernandez as a 6th man, if they get a PG?

    Yeah I think Outlaw will start next year. I know they will probably trade Jack. And Fernandez will probably take his role next year.
