2007 NBA Mock Draft
Overall Pick: 40 Los Angeles Lakers Chosen by: Forum Blue and Gold	NICK FAZEKAS PF, Nevada, Sr.

Wow! Kurt from Forum Blue and Gold gets an incredible steal with Nevada's Nick Fazekas. Here's his explanation.

We wanted to trade this pick to Minnesota straight up for Kevin Garnett, but that didn't work for some reason, so we go with the best player on the board. Big men with good range from outside work well in the triangle offense, and Nick will have time to work on his game behind Vlad Radmanovic and Brian Cook.

Har har har. But seriously, if I may, this is the steal of the draft. Look at the dude's numbers. His biggest criticism is that he doesn't rebound, but he averaged a robust 14.6 boards per 40 minutes. Add that with his shooting ability, and he's going to be an excellent player, especially in the triangle.

The Timberwolves are on the clock.
