Southwest Division.
Dallas Mavericks
- Shan Foster – #51
A good pick for the Mavs late in the second round. Foster was arguably the best player in a tough (but overrated) conference. Not sure if he makes the team though.
Houston Rockets
- Donte Greene – #28
- Joey Dorsey – #33
- Maarty Leunen – #54
Greene looked like he was gonna be a stud early in the year. But then he must’ve shot like 21.3% the last 20 games of the season. He was awful. Joe saw him play in person vs the Hoyas and said he was absolutely terrible. He wasn’t even the best freshman on his team. That distinction goes to Jonny Flynn. But Donte is still young and is a nice little project at #28. And given his stats (6′9 220 lbs SF) I’ll probably draft him in NBA 2k8 and have him play 2 minutes a game behind LeBron.
Joey Dorsey seems like he should be able to be an NBA player. But I think he’s got some serious maturity issues. I don’t know if he’ll ever get his act together to even be a role player in the league.
Memphis Grizzlies
- OJ Mayo – #3
- Darrell Arthur – #27
- Adriana Lima (through trade)
The Grizz picked up, in my opinion, the best pro player in the draft in Mayo. But it cost them one of the premier big men in the L (Gasol). They also lost Mike Miller and took back some horrible contracts, including Marko Jaric’s. But then again, that did net them Adriana Lima. But really…do you expect her to be visiting MEMPHIS any time soon? Doubtful. But back to Mayo. I think he’ll be the best player out of this draft. I saw him play in person against Derrick Rose and he held him to 9 points. His D impressed me a lot. But the Grizzlies have too many guards, which makes you scratch your head at the Gasol trade even more (they got Javaris Crittenton). They gotta move a couple of them soon before they start to lose value.
Just because…
Arthur is a great pickup at #27. He is one of the more skilled big men in the draft. The big thing I have on him though is his lack of consistency. Hopefully his kidney issue is no issue and he’ll have a healthy career.
New Orleans Hornets
- No picks
Like with the Hawks, it’s not a big deal. They’re already a top 5 team in the NBA and another year of experience for CP3 will only make them stronger.
San Antonio Spurs
- George Hill – #26
- Malik Hairston – #48
- James Gist – #57
I was surprised the Spurs didn’t take a foreign guy like they usually do in the first round. Matter of fact, they didn’t take any foreign guys in the whole draft. With that said, I don’t know much about George Hill except a lot of people thought he should’ve stayed in school. I am not sure any of these guys make it on the team. San Antonio definitely needs to get younger but I don’t know if any of these guys are the answer.
lebron cant save new york or anybody. lebron cant even save himself. lebron isnt the best ‘baller’ in the world. kobe owns lebron. but kobe cant save himself either.
