NBA Draft predictions

I'll make the first 4 predictions.

1. Toronto- Tyrus Thomas- LSU
2. Chicago- Adam Morrison- Gonzaga
3. Charlotte- Rudy Gay- Uconn
4. Portland- LaMarcus Alridge- Texas

The Minnesota Timberwolves will draft Mr. Morrison out of Gonzaga.

You wish!! Hell, I wish they could. Morrison will be one of the top 3 players selected; we're at #6 and will have no chance at him.

Who's this kid from Italy? Andrea something?

Who cares? The question is, who do the Wolves get in the draft. In an ideal world, I'd like to see them pick up Rudy Gay, but I think he'll be gone by then. If Brandon Roy is around they should definitely jump on him.

I think we'll probably end up with Tyrus Thomas, which will be a mistake IMO. His game is too similar to Griffin (i.e. all defense and very little offense).

What say you guys?

Andrea Bargnani. He's got some good skills and a great 3 point shot; oh, yeah, he's also 7 ft tall. Reminds me of another Dirk kind of player. It will take him several years to develop and he'll be off the board long before the Wolves are on the clock.

Brandon Roy will likely be around for the 6th pick.

I hope so; he could contribute right away.

LOL. The one I saw this morning had Morrison going #1 and had us picking up Thomas at #6. This draft you posted had Thomas going #2 and Morrison @ #4. Goes to show it's not just NFL Draft "experts" who are full of shite.
