Who should they take?

Ford has them as a lock to take Bayless but they also need a big.

Both ESPN and NBAdraft.net have Bayless at #4.

[defrocked]

I went with Bayless since that's who everyone says they're taking. I agree they need a big in the worst way though. Just haven't heard from anyone, including myself, who's sold on Lopez.

[WTFchris]

Well, I guess they'll have to get their big with their other first.

my bad chris i was going to make this as soon as i got home which was now.

jarryd for sure. pg is their weakest position right now with ridnour and EARL WATSON.

[WTFchris]

I'm just glad we got your pick right.

Glenn is also happy because Watson will be leaving with this pick. All kidding aside he'd be a good pickup if RIP or Billups were traded.

Some things to consider for Seattle's pick:

The Bad

• Brook Lopez really struggled in all of the athletic drills. He's huge (his wingspan measured out at 7-foot-5 ½), but NBA teams are shying away from the more-lumbering big men. He wasn't awful during the testing, but many thought he'd do a little better.
• DeAndre Jordan also didn't fare nearly as well as teams would've expected. He's been labled as a Dwight Howard-type athlete, but he didn't put up anything close to the numbers Howard put up a few years ago.
• Donte Greene and Darrell Arthur -- two guys touted for their athleticism -- disappointed many with their poor vertical-jump scores. Arthur also fared very poorly in the lane-agility drill.
• JaVale McGee didn't light up the drills either for someone touted as a great athlete for a player his size. He looked a little out of shape in the workouts, which can't help his cause.
