Even if he turns out to be good, shoot-first PGs are always a detriment to success. Besides, the last thing the Grizz need is another PG. Conley and Lowry are still green and full of potential. Why draft another young PG who is far from meeting the "sure thing" condition apparently mandatory of a 5th pick? <BR/><BR/>The Grizz have a glaring deficiency at PF, and Love fills the gap perfectly. Every commentator seems to begrudgingly admit that Love is a deadly offensive weapon, can rebound at high rate, possesses rare offensive awareness, and is strong and long enough to play adequate defense. The criticism that he will trail fast breaks seems vacuous since his primary value is as an initiator. Additionally, criticism of his size seems equally weak given his documented success at the collegiate level and his workouts thus far against NBA-level competition. From what I can gather, it appears that Love’s only failing is being stereotyped as a "white stiff." And that is sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878605120366712244.post-36994503527386130012008-06-10T13:59:00.000-05:002008-06-10T13:59:00.000-05:00Interesting read.

We need to do whatever we can to get O.J. Mayo, even if we have to trade up to 3 to get him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
