    Motiejunas.

    I think the guy will be a very solid player for the next decade and a half. I don't expect him to be an All Star but I think being an 17/9 player and a matchup nightmare for many bigs in this league is in his future. I'm thinking of an impact/role like a prime Mehmet Okur (I'm not comparing their skills). I think he will be a guy who can be the third best player on a Championship team and capable of having a big series against the right opponent.

    I like Lamb and fully expect him to score the ball well in this league but SG who can put up points but don't do anything else are not all the rare nor particularly valuable these days.

    Depends on who's left on the team. If the Rockets still have Martin but not Patterson then D-Mo. If they trade Martin but keep Patterson then, Lamb.

    can't believe so many voted for Lamb. I like the guy but when you have a skilled, athletic, 7 footer who isn't afraid to mix it up...you have to go with the big guy.
