Portland is high on anything.
good call. Even Dwight Howard would've been a dope smoking, coach hating overpaid injured racist if he'd been picked by Portland.
There's some good articles at DraftCity, one is an interview with the GM of the Bucks after they got the #1 pick. I think it pretty much sets in stone that they'll pick Bogut, but who knows...
Larry Harris: “Thanks to everyone. I appreciate your patience. The loud roar you heard was all the way from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, all the fans and everybody, and then obviously “make sure that Larry makes the right choice.”
Other than that I am happy you guys are all on board, I can’t really explain the joy and anticipation when the 6th pick came up and it was not us. At that point I thought alright, we are going to shift seats here, we’ll go to the #3 and maybe we’ll end up there, but then the #3 came up and it was not us and then I got a little greedy I have to say. Thought we may as well go for the whole enchilada. It’s a special night, and it’s going to be 6 weeks from when we have to actually make the pick, but it’s a great day in Milwaukee and I’m really looking forward to the next six weeks.”
Question: “Larry if you could just talk about what you see there, those top 3 picks with Williams, Bogut and Chris Paul. Obviously you are moving up into a place where you can get a lot of help, right away.”
Larry Harris “I think certainly you mentioned three players, and I’m sure there are another 57 that feel that they are in the top three as well…when you are thinking of those three players specifically, when we went into this process we thought we were going to be the #6 pick. Having said that, we thought that the depth of this draft was at the four and the one spot. I still feel that way, even being the #1 pick, but yet because you got the #1 pick, it brings in the big young kid in Andrew Bogut. As we look at our roster, moving forward, we certainly need a low post presence. If you speak about Andrew Bogut first…certainly a guy that has legitimate size, good hands, good feet, can pass, knows how to play, obviously a consensus All-American. And you have a younger player in Marvin Williams, a tremendous talent. Certainly a guy that was coming off the bench for them, but had an incredible run in the NCAA tournament. And then Chris Paul, arguably the #1 PG out there. With the situation with TJ Ford…obviously we’re encouraged by what’s going on there, but those are three players that we will certainly take a long hard look at, and all three bring something different to the table for us.”
I guess now this will encourage Michael Redd to stay instead of going to his hometown Cleveland
