Supes Take Westbrook, Pass on the Better Bruin

Despite rumors aplenty, the Supes just ended up doing what Chad Ford predicted they might do a few days ago (his predictions today have sucked): take Russell Westbrook (nice fucking hair, bro) with the fourth pick in the draft. Westbrook's got nice tools and all, but it sure feels like the Supes could have traded down several picks and still gotten their guy. And it sure sucks that Memphis picked Westbrook's better teammate, Kevin Love, with the very next pick. Time will tell. At least Westbrook has the potential to fill a legitimate void at point guard, although it's questionable he'll be ready to step right in and start, something that should be expected of any fourth pick in any pro draft.
