Damn how the fuck does Portland keep robbing people? They get Bayless and Diogu for Rush and Jack. Diogu can play too I wouldn't be surprised if he does really well there next to Oden.

http://sportstwo.com/NBA/Story/NBA/2515538 Robin Lopez taken at No. 15 by the Suns Thursday, June 26, 2008 09:14 PM NEW YORK (Ticker) -- Five spots after his brother, Stanford center Robin Lopez was taken by the Phoenix Suns with the 15th overall selection in Thursday's draft. The less coveted of the Lopez twins, Robin made his living with hustle and defense, leading the team with 2.3 blocks per game last season. Robin also led the Pac-10 Conference with 2.4 blocks during his freshman season. His brother, Brook, was grabbed by the New Jersey Nets with the 10th pick, separating the duo which played together for the Cardinal. While Brook is considered to have more upside, Robin was no slouch, swatting a combined 156 blocks during his two seasons at Stanford and grabbing nearly as many offensive rebounds (171) as defensive rebounds (205) during his collegiate career. But Robin has the ability to score at times, averaging 10.7 points last season, including 18 in Stanford's second-round overtime victory over Marquette in last season's NCAA Tournament. The Suns, whose frontline is led by the aging Shaquille O'Neal, will benefit from Robin's interior defense. Phoenix's defense was much-maligned under former coach Mike D'Antoni.

http://sportstwo.com/NBA/Story/NBA/2515547 Sixers nab F Speights with the 16th pick Thursday, June 26, 2008 09:17 PM NEW YORK (Ticker) - Marreese Speights continued the tradition of first-round draft picks from Florida. Speights was tabbed by the Philadelphia Sixers with the No. 16 overall pick in Thursday's NBA draft. A 6-10, 250 forward, Speights was a reserve on the second of Florida's back-to-back NCAA championship teams, which had three players selected among the first nine picks in last year's draft. With the entire starting five having graduated entering last season, Speights raised his game for the Gators, averaging 14.5 points, 8.1 rebounds and 1.4 blocked shots per game. Speights grabbed a career-high 18 boards in his final collegiate game - a loss to Massachusetts in the National Invitation Tournament semifials. After playing under six minutes per game as a freshman, Speights scored in double figures in 31 of 36 games, including his final 11 contests. Nick Young's numbers rose every year - and his draft stock went up accordingly. Young was taken with the 16th pick by the Washington Wizards in the NBA draft on Thursday night. The offensive-minded guard will join Gilbert Arenas, Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler - one of the highest-scoring trios in the league. A 6-6, 200-pounder, Young had 13 games of 20 points or more and finished second in the Pac-10 Conference in scoring at 17.5 points per game. Young elevated his shooting percentage in each of his three years, capped off by the marvelous junior season in which he shot an impressive 52.5 percent from the field and 44 percent from 3-point range. Thriving in an up-tempo offense, Young can take his man off the dribble and loves to attack the basketball for spectacular dunks. "It's a great feeling just to be drafted," Young said. "Going to a team like Washington is great. I watched them over the past years and I watched what Gilbert did to the Lakers, so it's a great feeling going there. "Me and Gilbert come from the same area (in Los Angeles), so he'll show me the ropes," Young said. "I'm just glad to be in this situation and it's a blessing." Despite his slight build, he is not afraid to challenge bigger men for his share of rebounds, having averaged 4.6 as a junior and 6.6 as a sophomore. Young needs to work on his ball-handling so he can maximize his already impressive slashing ability.

With Portland having all this young great talent, its going to be real interesting to see how they handle contract extensions in the next few years. But they are definately the team to watch out for in the next 5 years
Jay Bilas is a moron. Remember that one draft when he kept talking about wing span all night? 1 through to the end, "his wingspan is" .. you are a complete dumbass.
Bayless perfect fit next to Roy. Bayless/Roy/Outlaw/Aldridge/Oden Bench: Diogu, Frye, Fernandez, Ridriguez + 27 pick in this draft + who the hell knwos who lese. Jesus fucking christ.
