Good scorer, should go well with LaMarcus. Hey, at least it's better than taking Durant in the "lottery" of the 1st round.
If I didn't trade my pick I probably would have taken Durant. He is a steal at this point. I just think Pierce fits my team better because he's better defensively, but trading away that pick knowing that Durant could be there is something I wrestled with for a while.
Aldridge is a much better offensive player than Horford. But Horford can bang around a little bit, something Aldridge isn't as good at. Either way if I had a choice I would pick Aldridge, but then again I'm a Blazers fan

I'll take Aldridge 15-20 spots lower and be happy though.
And if anyone sees ghoti, you didn't see me/don't know where I am and I didn't take Durant. *runs away*
I'm not a fan of the Derrick Rose pick. Then again, I'm rarely a fan of rookies getting picked in the 1st or 2nd round in these GM drafts.

But these are extremely talented players, so towards the end of the year there's a great chance they will be showing signs of superstardom. I do not agree that Rose won't be a great contributor this year. Why not? He's got an NBA ready game and on my team there's no one in his way.
