Kevin Love is 6'10," and is the next Nick Collison if he's lucky. Westbrook PLAYED point when Darren Collison was injured and looked great. Great Pick. This post is infuriating.

I don't see him dominating the likes of Troy Murphy or Brendan Haywood much less Tim Duncan or Dwight Howard. I don't see Westbrook being any worse than Steve Francis when he was good.

I was just thinking that for your NBA fan career your worst case scenario was David Robinson. Take it from a guy who used to really like Benoit Benjamin: Most of these fuckers are terrible.

Huge question marks are reserved for guys who you haven't seen play for an entire season at the D1 level. You personally have probably watched Kevin Love play 10 games. Your unflattering (yet true) description of his athletic ability aside, he still managed to be the best player in the best conference in the Country. Bottom line is, he gets it done. And - he will be playing his true position in the NBA. (the obvious counterpoint to this argument is Adam Morrison, who did all of the above as well. I can only refute by saying that Morrison didn't do it as a freshman, shot way to much, didn't play any defense, and was a punk bitch). The only question mark about Westbrook is how he will be as a 1, which is a fair inquiry since he wasn't a 1 in college. In that regard his selection was based on potential. Look - I'm not trying to bash Westbrook because I think he's a great talent, just not the #4 pick and not when Love is on the board. I disagree.

(1) He can't jump. (2) He's fat. He's been able to get by because there aren't a ton of 6'10" dudes in high school or college. Westbrook comes in as the best perimeter defender on the team from day one. We'll have to see how he develops as a one, but unlike Kevin Love he won't be consistently out-athlete-ed. Enough of that, what about your Spurs taking a guy from IUPUI? You have to be conflicted. Kevin Love is not without huge question marks. (1) He can’t jump. (2) He’s fat.

I can see them in the "war room," celebrating that Love fell to them at 5. Someone then yells something a a potent future of Gay, Love, and...." but the room goes silent. "This is the South; where do you think you are tree-hugger?" Next thing you know, Wallace (a Boston guy) is on the phone with McHale. That’s the reason why Memphis traded Love.
