Well, looks like the cats have both picks before us, the 9 and now the 20. http://www.nba.com/nuggets/news/nuggets_tr...ick_062508.html

They don't need players on the wings as much. Luckily, we aren't as desperate at PG, and there's plenty of serviceable big men available in this draft to not worry too much.

This sucks. DX is reporting that the Cats will take Hibbert with the 20th pick. Which means they wont select Lopez at 9, which means we probably will. God, the only thing I asked for is no Lopez brothers.
I'm curious why people aren't liking the Lopez bros. Sure, Brook is better than Robin (at the time being) , but they are some of the most solid bigs early on in the draft.

Remind you of anyone?

I hope this means they don't want a big no matter what. Ford said that Memphis is interested in Gordon at 5. I don't see the Knicks, Clippers, or Bucks interested in Love, so maybe he could last to us?

The pick has protections so who knows how long before Denver gets to use it.
