That list makes no sense unless we're thinking about trading down from 8.We won't take any of those guys there.Crittendon and Wright aren't likely to fall to 22.Karl and Brooks wouldn't be taken at 22(unless you go for the major reach)Karl is probably a late second/undrafted guy.I can't say about Brooks.I think he's kind of a chucker which would be typical of Oregon's style,but I don't remember a lot about him.

I don't know what it means,but our workouts have been rather puzzling to say the least.It's almost as though they've already decided on who they want at 8...or they've already decided to deal the pick.

If Sean Williams were there at 22 his talent would make him a decent pick,but god only knows if he can keep his head straight.It would be a definite gamble.

Vincent said something along the lines of I don't get to pick who we bring in the scouting department does all of that and that he doesn't have a decision on who we pick he just has to fit the players they pick into his scheme. Seems kind of dumb to me

I can't Sean Williams even being an option he might be worth the pick but I doubt Johnson wants to mess with the controversy that would come from all the mad fans

and Jeff Green canceled a workout with us so we probably won't pick him.

Again with the weird workouts.Tucker is a shooting guard,but he can't shoot to save his life.Taking him at 22 would be one of biggest reachs in recent history.Affaflo(sic?) I don't really know,but he's more like likely to be drafted in the second round.He's sort of a combo guard I think,and an erratic one at UCLA.Only we have no second round pick.The guys we need to look at for 22 are Rudy Fernandez and the Italian Marco Bellinelli.I am afraid that Rudy will be gone.I understand he really impressed in Orlando.He's only 22 and he's done really well in the ACB.Generally speaking if a young guy can play in the ACB he's going to do fairly well in the NBA.I am not so certain about the Italian,but he's a pretty fair prospect and at 22 he'd be worth a shot if there aren't any better two's around.

The more I hear about our workouts the more I begin to question the competence of our personell people.Bring in some people who might actually deserve to be selected where you pick for god's sake.

in today LINK

More players that don't really make any sense for the 8th pick. We have to be trading out

Ron Lewis...Ohio State?I don't know who that is.Nick Young makes sense if the rumor about swapping our pick for Philly's (12th) were true.I don't know what it is Philly was supposed to give us,but that's exactly the place you'd want to move if you wanted Nick Young.The Hornets are pretty sure to take either him or Al Thornton at 13.If we traded down to 12 that's the exact same choice we'd have if Thornton hasn't gone earlier.
