Sucks to be Al Jefferson right now.  Another year stuck in the wrong position.  Maybe Minny can get a center through a trade or something.

I like the Mayo pick for Minnesota, as well.  I think Big Al and Mayo can team up and make Minnesota a very solid team for years to come.

Aren't the Clippers up now?  Didn't they swap picks with Seattle?

I like the Mayo pick also. 

I'd like to see them grab a vet now. Maybe ship out Foye in a trade.

I'm not a huge fan of Westbrook.  I like Bayless better.

Big swing pick

Awwwww gawd ........ awful pick by Seattle. Horrific. Westbrook. Terrible.

I'm devastated for Kevin Durant. He'll have his second straight year of having the most limited teammates as his supporting cast.

Minny is going to have to make a trade. Foye, Brewer, McCants, Buckner, Jaric, and now Mayo?

I think between them and Portland they have about one third of the shooting guards and point guards in the league respectively.

On a side note, Jaric got engaged to Adriana Lima recently. Forget about his declining career, between the contract he got and Lima this guy has upside/potential/any other draft cliche adjective.

Bad pick. They already have Ridnour and Watson.

it's likely that they're moving it.

The Knicks fans are an absolutely classless group of people. Why Stern not only tolerates their behavior during these drafts, but rewards them by having every single one there is beyond me. They should spread this around the NBA cities each year or at least put it in a place where the people have a shred of decency...

Memphis up next. They can't take another short guard can they?

So is this where Wallace and the Grizzlies take Kermit the Frog?
