We have a poor man version of Augustin in Bassy. We know small pg's get hurt and harm the defense of a team. They make good change of pace 6th man guards, but not starters.
Mayo-mayo-Mayo or lopez. End of story.

being 6'4 or 6'5 is not going to determine what type of career Mayo has.
and Deandre Jordan is much closer to Andrew Bynum in terms of athletic ability. HE IS NOT DWIGHT HOWARD.

yea, 6'4 at least is no big deal for me with Mayo. His game is used with screens, jump shot, high BBIQ and athletic ability. He will be fine.
Jordan's concern for me is not his athletic ability, I just do not see the desire to be great. I would take him top 12 but not top 5

Ahem, Chris Paul?
I've knocked Mayo a lot recently but at the end of the day, I think he is the right pick. I've only been defending Lopez because I feel like we should keep an open mind and give every prospect a fair chance before anointing someone the #3 pick.

Chris Paul does not get as hurt on defense because he has a great defensive big behind him, thus he gets the green light to gamble for steals. Also, Chris Paul is an exception.

I don't know, from these YouTube clips he looks closer to Dwight Howard as far run-jump ability.

No doubt, he's a terrible basketball player and I wouldn't take him top 5 but if the Wolves did take him, it wouldn't take long for me to talk myself into it.

The difference is Howard-esque athleticism should be good enough dominate without much else in the way of skill where Bynum-esque athleticism wouldn't be. Of course Jordan didn't even dominate in college, not even close. I don't know to make of him.
