    If my memory serves me correctly, the Rockets would have taken Gasol in a heartbeat if he was there

    Remember, Rudy said Griffin was the Rockets' #1 player on the board. Also, most mock drafts had Griffin going #1 until the week before the draft (when Kwame's stock sored and Griffin's character came into issue). So, as much as Rudy and CD LOVED Gasol heading into the draft, they would NOT have taken him over Griffin.

    Baller or European? He's both, is he not?

    I think Gasol was more NBA ready when he entered than most Euros in the past.

    If EG's range turns out to be anywhere from the basket to the 3pt line, consistently, I will take him again.
