Rumor here is it will be Johnson ... my gut says Favors. Deep down, I prefer Cousins ...

Sure but it would not be a lock to win a title. They would have severe size problems after Noah and Bosh and a team like the Lakers with all their size would give them a ton of problems.

taj gibson was pretty good off the bench

Nets go with Favors. Hope he enjoys jet-ski backflips.

Pleased with that pick, although I think Cousins will eventually be a better pro (if his fat ass gets in shape).

Will the T'Wolves take a chance on Cousins?

I don't see it with Favors....

I don't think he will do anything in the League.

^^ Seems like you get that perception about a lot of guys in this draft.

Might as well since supposedly they are shopping Jefferson

Wolves need a center. Too early to draft Aldrich. But, too early for Cousins? Tough spot. I think Wes Johnson is probably best available right now.

Gotta be Wesley Johnson I'd think. Jefferson/Love is a solid front court, unless they don't think Al can play center.

Ryan Gomes is not a very good starting small forward.

I really think they'll try to trade Al.

lol I was like damn, I don't remember saying anything lol

Yeah, you're right.

I honestly think there were only 3 sure things. And those 3 guys are now off the board.

I think Cousins will be a solid pro, but he reminds me alot of a right handed Derrick Coleman when it comes to the maturity/conditioning issues as both have/had all the talent in the world and are a comparable size, but there was always questions about whether their head is in the game.

Golden State may be getting a gift with Greg Monroe falling into their laps.
