Oh, and yes... Chad Ford IS as dumb as you thought. Thabeet is going to be a Kwame Brown-level bust. If you watched him at all in college, you saw a guy who is 7'3" and has almost no idea how to play the center position. Against guys who were between 6 inches and a foot shorter than him, he had trouble scoring at the college level. Read that last sentence again carefully. How do you think that will work out against the best players in the world? He has the word PROJECT written all over him. You know, like how Kwame Brown was a project. And Jake Tsakalidis was a project. And you know how well that usually works out...

Not saying we shouldn't draft him, but I like the strides Conley made this season, and I think it would be a mistake to give up on him this early. A Conley/Mayo/Rubio trifecta would be NASTY.

Or, my preference: Use our rather impressive array of assets (talent, picks, cap space, expiring contracts) to bring in a culture-changing, savvy veteran PF. With all we have to offer other teams (especially the ones looking to cut payroll), there's no reason we can't have a killer offseason.

So, draft Rubio and trade Conley.

Chad Ford/ESPN is mocking the Griz passing on Rubio for Thabeet. Please tell me he just being as dumb as I've always thought he is. Thabeet is this year's bust.
