Memphis Grizllies Get the #2 Pick in the NBA Draft

[radin119]

Memphis Grizzlies have the #2 pick in the upcoming NBA Draft.
Hasheem Thabeet, Blake Griffin, Ricky Rubio?
What does that mean for Hamed?

[persian boy]

Griffin will be #1 pick. Rubio is a PG , and will most likely be 2 pick. so no effect on hamed'

Hasheem Thabeet is a centre but i dont think he will be top 3 picks

[arash123]

yeah there is a lot of talk on rubio being second. i think clippers will go for blake. hasheem thabeet will be a work in progress just like hamed is so i highly doubt the griz will go for him

[Türküm]

so Memphis is PFDC's official team?

for now, until haddadi moves to the lakers

[EKBATAN]

hamed's gonna be a sick ass player if they let him play, im sure of it. This guy can become one of the best centers in nba

[mkbf2]

man the Wiz are never lucky, we had a 17.8% chance to get 1st and we get 5th!

Rubio is definitely the 2nd pick. Griffin is going to be first, and I believe Thabeet will be third (I think he'll be a bust, but as the saying goes - you can't teach height)

James Harden is my early prediction for rookie of the year

haha im going to his school next year, asu...even though he had some bad games last year and was inconsistent, he was the ENTIRE arizona state team, itll be interesting to see how he does when the entire defense isnt focused completely on him.

It would have been amazing if memphis got the 1st pick, griffin would fit in perfectly in the 1 positioin they really need, and there is no way the clippers are gonna trade down. Rubio is the obvious 2nd pick, but since memphis already have pretty decent point guard in mike conley, i think they should trade down for a veteran power forward.

Conley
Mayo
Gay
decent proven PF
Gasol

Bench:Haddadi

thats a pretty legit team actually

[persianbruin]

rubio is a no brainer. He is just too talented to pass on.

[Darvish11]

espn got me worried...i was at a restaurant and they were showing it on the tv and they had them picking thabeet I dont think there is any way that would happen

[Türküm]

It's going to be Griffin

Rubio is a great player but I think Griffin is the safer pick...

Thabeet is Olowakandi Ver. 2.0...he can do well in the right system...and could even be a stronger/heavier less injury prone version of Marcus Camby

my youngest bro wants to go there...I get upset with him when he brings it up

He has a chance to get a Volleyball scholarship if he grows a few inches (he just turned 16 and is 6') so I hope he follows that.

I dont know why all of you guys are making it a certainty that Rubio is going #2 to Memphis.

They already have a good, young point guard that they wasted a lottery pick on in Mike Conley Jr. He also performed rather well in the tail end of the season last year.

Memphis has a lot of options open to them, they can either trade down like nypimp said, or take Thabeet/Rubio. Thabeet is a monster on the defensive end and I dont agree with Turkum that he is Olowakandi v 2.0. They are 2 different players entirely. Thabeet is more of a Greg Oden/Dikembe Mutombo type of defender. No arsenal of offensive skills, but great in defending the rim, blocking shots, and rebounding. Something Memhpis needs. They have all the offense in the world, but no defense. Now the question is, how confident is Memhpis in Marc Gasol's abilities??

Memphis can really go either way.
