I was sure that Presti would take Brook Lopez as he dropped in the ’08 draft (over Westbrook who better turn out to be REAL good).

Lopez is the 7-footer (not Krystic, Mullens, Sene, Swift or Petro) who will produce consistent double-doubles while providing the kind of low cost, inside defensive presence that all teams crave.

It is still easier to find serviceable point guards than it is to find franchise centers. As much as I love Presti, I think that OKC, Miami, NY, Milw., Char. & the Clippers all blew it by passing on Lopez.

Just proves that the draft it is not an exact science.

And as for rebounding, a winning team’s best rebounder averages doubles in rebounding.
