Hell of a fun draft, maybe most fun I've ever had watching the NBA draft. Surprise picks throughout, crazy trades (including vets), guys on the desk were good, Simmons/Rivers feud, Bebe's hair and standing next to Stern, Hakeem coming back, etc. Just great fun.
I really like what my Grizzlies did. Traded Darrell Arthur and 55th pick for Kosta Koufos. They needed a good backup for Gasol, and now they have one of the best backup centers in the game. They jumped on Jamaal Franklin when he fell to 41. Most had him going somewhere between 20-28 or so. He fits their culture of defense and energy. They really needed shooting though, and didn't get it. That will be their only focus from here on out. They'll be looking at Korver/Delfino/Dunleavy types to fill that shooting role.
