With The 4th Pick in the 2008 NBA Draft The Supersonics Select...

Right now the Sonics are pissed that the Timberwolves chose Mayo over Lopez, but with a glaring need at the PG position, they have to go with the best one still remaining and that's Bayless.

I like Bayless and he'll be the next great Arizona guard, but he is a little bit of a tweener. People say he's too selfish at times. He is a bona fide scorer with an inside- outside game. Unfortunately, he lacks toughness and a good defensive prowess. Him and Durant should be all the Sonics need for offense; it's just that they both need to learn how to play some defense.

Jerryd Bayless One and Done

Arizona's leading scorer Jerryd Bayless has decided to go pro after his one year stop in college. Bayless is your token Arizona guard, undersized, lack of a defensive presence but can shoot the ball lights out from mid-range or deep. He averaged 19.7 points in his first year, and often put Arizona on his back to pull out a W. It will be tough for him to create his own shots in the NBA because he lacks toughness with his dribble penetration, however, screens and his off the ball movement will help that, also, it might be tough for him to guard some of the bigger shooting guards. He is projected to be a lottery, to mid- first round pick, and his silky smooth shot is worth to take a chance on.
