I am with you Josh. Nowitski is a rarity. Seldom do you find
perimeter-euro-basketball players play defense (or having the desire for that
matter). And Nowitski is adequate on defense, not great, but ok, with the
occasional steal as he got quick hands.

Some posters compare Gasol(ine) to Pat Garrity! If this is so, then why waste
your pick on such. Garrity is basically a spot up shooter, can't drive or slash
and he didn't improve during his 3 years now.

Anyway, all this hype about Gasol(ine) is good for us - it pushes a better
player down to us OR it gives us more options for trade if Gasol(ine) is still
on board at 10/11, assuming teams drafting after us are drooling over Gasol(ine)
