As did OJ Mayo, who brings leadership to the Timberwolves?

What exactly would you LIKE them to say?

Foye and Mayo in the back court?  Intriguing

[Derek Bodner]

RealGM starting to get slow for me.

Did Stuart Scott just say

"What went into you alls decision" when asking a question?

[TheGuiltyParty]

What would you like him to say, really?  Nit picking for sure

Did you hear OJ Mayo??? That's what I want to hear. Sure it's boring and vanilla but I like a guy who says he is going to work hard rather than proclaim himself a "great" player.

***Yes, it's nitpicking but the first 3 picks have been dull so someone needs to spice things up.

[jemagee]

OJ Mayo declared himself the leader of the minnesota timberwolves....humble?

[jemagee]

THe Sonics have four second round pictures, the sixers should buy one and pick up dj white from Indiana

[johnny broad-street]

Bleh....something needs to happen

Yes he did. I missed it but the wife walked into the room to bring that to my attention. Our standards have dropped off considerably over the years.

[TheGuiltyParty]

BAM!!!! There's our first shocker. I wonder if Westbrook is the guy the Knicks wanted.

When did pleaded become a word?  That's what i want to know?

Hey, I thought Sam Presti was supposed to be smart and savvy, why did he over reach on westbrook?

[Stanford]

Yeah! Me and a buddy were rolling after that. HA!

Westbrook, uh BUST!

[Derek Bodner]

Interesting.  Love Westbrook's defensive potential.  He did very little with UCLA in the half court set, and is very unproven IMO.  He played well when Collison was out, but that's a very small sample size.

[Wildfire]

I'm SHOCKED they picked Westbrook, I wonder where Bayless goes..

[jemagee]

The rumors that katz was floating was that the sonics were trying real hard to move down from #4...maybe westbrook was the guy they wanted lower in the draft, and since they couldn't move down they drafted him anyway, personally i think that's a dumb move...they need help at every position, they should have taken the BPA and if Westbrook was the BPA on their board i gotta wonder.

(PS - this 'more posts since you've been writing' thing - can i turn it off?

[TheGuiltyParty]

It'll be interesting to see which PG will have the best career out of this draft.
