Gordon and Arthur or Ajinca.

Re: Who do you want at #11 and #17?

Eh..I just posted this in the trade thread.

I'm going with Rush at 11. It might seem like a stretch, but I feel he's the safest choice and he will pair up well with Ford and Granger.

At 17, we need to go big. I have no interest in Jordan, McGee, Hibbert, or Koufos. I'll be disappointed if we end up with any of them. My final 2 choices are Jason Thompson of Rider or Marreese Speights of Florida. Speights is my first choice, but if he isn't there, we should go with Thompson.

Edit: I'll also add in that I do like Ajinca, so I guess it would be a wash between him or Thompson.

Gordon? If he's available at #11, I'd take him, but where did you guys get the idea he'll be there?

I'll go Speights and Rush in the more likely scenario.

Re: Who do you want at #11 and #17?

You know, if Portland really does trade up to #10 to take DJ, we're probably going to end up with one hell of a player, possibly Gordon. THat would be exciting.

Rose, Mayo, Beasley, Westbrook, Gordon, Love, Bayless, Alexander, Galinari, and Lopez seem to be agreed upon as the 10ish best players out there. Already, chances are great that at least one will slip--and if Portland move to 10 and takes DJ, one of them can't not slip. I really think Larry went and got this #17 because there is a player in the 12-19 range who he really really likes, but he also sees that with what we've got going at 11, it'd be stupid to reach for a favorite.

Rose, Beasley, Mayo, Bayless, and Westbrook won't be there for us. That means Alexander, Galinari, Gordon, Love, and Lopez are all in play.

I really hope we snag Love or Gordon at #11. But any of those ten would be great.

Not sure about #17.

Gordon if he's there at 11, if not then Brandon Rush.

I'd be intrigued by Hibbert at 17.

Re: Who do you want at #11 and #17?

I see two picks here for Gordon, you guys are really setting me up for a disappointment.

I can't be getting my hopes up like that. I think they'll take Chalmers and Hibbert. Although I want Gordon, Hibbert and D.J. White in this draft.

Re: Who do you want at #11 and #17?

Rose
Beasley
Mayo
Bayless
Gordon
Love
Westbrook
B. Lopez

If any of those guys are on the board at #11, you have to go with him.

If Chalmers falls to #17 (I have a feeling he'll go #12 now), I definitely want him there.

Re: Who do you want at #11 and #17?

Augustin and Hibbert, speaking as a Hoya myself.

I think Hibbert is probably the most mature of the big candidates and probably the smartest, too.

Re: Who do you want at #11 and #17?

I also wouldn't complain about getting either (both?) of the Kansas guards.

Re: Who do you want at #11 and #17?

Augustin or Rush at #11, depending on if they think we need another PG or go for the best SG left. I'd be really happy if Love were here at #11, but not much of a chance for that.

and Hibbert at #17 would be fine with me.
