What Center on the team would take away minutes from Al and Drummand? It's a great deal for Portland. You get Al for a year, and Drummand for four years.

For me, it's between Drummond, Rivers, and Marshall. I'd probably go with Drummond cause his potential is about as high as it gets. I doubt he ever reaches his ceiling, but even if he reaches 75% of it, he'll be a damn good player at the weakest position in today's NBA. Too much potential for me to pass up, and at 8, he's worth the risk.

How the frick did Drummond drop as low as he did anyway? He really impressed me too but man does he have to work on that FT stroke.

Doubt we would have been able to trade with the Evil Empire (Portland), so Lillard is just a pipe dream. At #8, I'm guessing the Jazz would have drafted Marshall. Jazz already have Burks, who I think they're very high on, so Marshall gets the nod over Lamb.
I took Lamb, but in all honesty I think this is the ultimate crap-shoot kind of question.
More than most years, I didn't feel like there were strong options beyond the first couple picks in this draft.

It was a one man draft. The Bobcats started shopping that second pick heavily as soon as they got it. Which made my day of course, screw the tankers and MJ.

i probably would have chosen between marshall and drummond, although admittedly i answer that way because i was looking almost exclusively at points and bigs. it's a mistake to do anything other than BPA when you're drafting that high, so the jazz probably would've been smarter and kept everybody in the mix - maybe rivers.
i will say this though -- i would NOT have traded up for lillard. if he'd been available at 8, i maybe would have CONSIDERED it, but i think there's a real good chance his career winds up resembling banks/telfair and that marshall has a way better NBA career.

Marshall vs Rivers was a tough debate for me. Marshall has size and vision and makes his team better, but I really don't like him as a scoring threat from outside OR inside so defenses can play off him. Rivers is a great athlete, is a scoring threat, and has really learned the game from his dad, but is not yet a true distributor. I lean toward Rivers. The player I really wanted was Barnes, even if it involved a slight trade up.
