Late NBA Draft thoughts

Round 1: Robin Lopez (#15)
Round 2: Goran Dragic (#42)



I keep hearing the Robin Lopez/Anderson Varejao comparisons, but I think those comparisons have more to do with the hair than anything else. From what I've seen of Lopez, he doesn't appear to have the motor or the mobility of Varejao, but I could be wrong.

As far as Dragic goes, I hadn't heard of him up until draft night, but the front office apparently sees him as Steve Nash's eventual successor. He's a southpaw and has got good size for a PG (6-4). I've seen a couple of video packages featuring the kid, and he actually moves sort of like Ginobili. Neither look to be immediate impact guys, but at least we're getting some rookie contracts on the payroll.
