Usually, I think before the draft about who I'd want. When I figured Monroe, not Udoh, would be off the board, I had no idea. Nobody was that appealing.</p> Nuetes, 100 percent agree.

But Monroe has better odds of succeeding than most players available with the seventh pick.</p> Tim, Monroe isn’t the most athletic guy, but he’s hardly unathletic.

No question, nothing is guaranteed. But Monroe has better odds of succeeding than most players available with the seventh pick.

Bynum is fine, but because of his size, he can't be as good defensively as Stuckey can be.</p> <p>Also, only Prince has an expiring contract. Trading Villanueva and Hamilton wouldn't be as easy.</p> Pavel, Stuckey is three years young than Bynum and better than him already.

Both players' values are in the tank. Let them play a few games and establish they've still got it.</p> Tarbaby, I think moving one of the shooting guards makes sense — but probably not until mid-season.

But if I had to guess I think it's going to turn out to be a great pick. His defensive rebounding rate is one of the best in the country. His offensive skills are elite. He also played in a quirky Princeton offense that is designed so that one player can't dominate the ball, so we may not have seen what he can really do in college. Only 20 years old. All good, considering the alternatives that could have been (udoh, davis, aldrich). I’m not going to call it a great pick until he plays some NBA ball.

His lack of athleticism scares me. He had a good year last year  (i think he had 13 or 14 double doubles) but the big east was an overrated conference and Georgetown didn't have that tough of a schedule. Sure the analysts say he's a great pick but I believe thats what they said about this guy named Darko Milicic and we all know how that worked out.
