Owner Real Deal Posted August 19, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 1) Chicago Bulls - Derrick Rose2) Miami Heat - OJ Mayo3) Minnesota Timberwolves - Brook Lopez4) Oklahoma City Thunder - Russell Westbrook You're the Memphis Grizzlies. Who are you picking at #5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Micahel Beasley. He may not be the best fit for the team as that would probably be Eric Gordon or maybe even Kevin Love, but I just wouldn't be able to pass up the potential that Beasley has if I were the Grizzlies. If they were a team that was one piece away from the playoffs then I could see picking the player that you think fits the best on the team, but considering the position that they were in last season, that isn't the case so I am going with the best player available and that player is Michael Beasley in my opinion.

Flight Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Love, let him start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted August 19, 2009 Author Owner Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 For me, it was out of Beasley and Gordon. Memphis needed a potential superstar at that time (which is why they traded Love for Mayo), and if all picks are final, I'm selecting Beasley at five. I'm taking into consideration the fact that they will have Marc Gasol and Rudy Gay, and they need someone who can score points in their frontcourt, because Rudy can always play the guard position, if necessary. Beasley is too good to pass up at five. I really didn't know Gordon would be a sensational rookie, either...and I'm not sure everyone else did, or else he would've been picked top five. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multi-Billionaire Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 I would pick Beasley too. He is a sensational scorer and is actually coachable. He doesn't let not starting and criticism of his defense from media and his own coach get to his head... but he gets the message and keeps improving. If he keeps his head above his shoulders he should be a lock for a superstar. Grizzlies need a superstar power, if not Mayo then Beasley is a very good consolation pick.

BlueDevil Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Considering Beasley was considered one of the top two players in this draft, falling to 5 seems reasonable. The Grizz need defense from their front court, and Love doesnt really provide great defence. Also, with Rudys ability to play either SF or SG, I think taking Beasley solidifies your front court here along with Gasol.To me its between Beasley and Gordon, but with how much more playing time hed get with the Grizz, he would probably put up more points, but his defense would still need to improve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Years Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Beasly he'd have the ball in his hands like he needs and could shine as a natural scorer instead of being behind Wade. And Stop leaving Mario Chambers out the polls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Beasley for reasons already posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted August 19, 2009 Author Owner Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 And Stop leaving Mario Chambers out the polls Mario Chalmers is my favorite player from the draft class, and him and Rush are my favorites since Hinrich and Collison were drafted, but he doesn't belong in the poll alongside guys like Gordon and Beasley.

Flight Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Hey, there's no PGs up there, so you should include him (either that, or Shortar Shortar). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted August 19, 2009 Author Owner Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Yeah, that's a good idea. Gordon can run the point, though...and there's an "Other" option. I'll include someone from all five positions next pick. But if anyone picks Chalmers at #5, it doesn't make sense for Memphis, at all...because they have Conley, and there are better players on the board.

Flight Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 True, but I think you should offer the best available at each position (although nobody though Chalmers was the best PG in the draft outside of Russell). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beastley Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Michael Beasley. Michael Beasley is such a good player and shouldn't be passed up here. With Gasol, and Gay all ready and the improving Conley they need a player like Beasley who would make such an impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Years Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I know i let O.J mayo drop but this is his time to shine In Memphis. Lets him get the ball in his hands and show everyone why he's a natural scorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
