Okur pick was controversial but I think he will be very good.

I would have like to see the Spurs trade down and pick Nene but the question of best player available vs. best fit is always a tough one to answer. Either way a team that good scoring a top 5 pick is bad news for the rest of us.

I was surprised to see Prince fall. I was really torn on him and Boozer, especially with the thought of being able to snag a PF with the later picks.

I was expecting to land Okur, but I'm pleased with landing Prince.

Okur and Z.... yuck. lol But yeah, I liked Okur a lot, and I think he's probably the most "NBA ready" player in this draft. I just didn't think he would go prior to Boozer or Butler or Prince.

Is Butler going to be groomed to be Glenn Robinson's replacement?

I was expecting Okur to be there at #5. I would have loved to add him to my team at the 5. As far as Butler I couldn't pass on him once he dropped. It was gonna be Butler or Boozer depending on who the Celtics picked.

Okur would've been a great fit for your team too... shame.

I really like Nene, I think he could be a really good player in a year or two. I like him better as a PF than a C though. RPF's putting together a very solid team.

I was not a fan of the Okur pick(because I wanted him and was trying to trade up) but I would've done the same thing at 3.

Not sure how he's ultimately going to fit in Phoenix's future, but Haslem's a very good prospect, a poor man's Elton Brand. He may even be slightly more versatile than Brand. It'll be interesting to see how/if he develops.

Haslem is actually from Florida instead of the U. Anyway he's a nice prospect. Potential to be a starter for many years. Reminds me of Grant Long.

Haslem/prince were really solid value picks.

Wonder if there's a trade on the horizon, I really only see two options for LogP at this spot.
