and by the way, i don't think very highly of collison...way too small and not nearly athletic enough...

i would take westbrook over him any day...like franchise said, he got abused today by rose...

Everybody gets abused by Rose, so that isn't a great way of looking at it.

I wouldn't draft Collison though. I have serious doubts of his NBA potential. He is ridiculously small on the floor. He doesn't direct the offense, and he's mostly a pull-up shooter. No way I'd take him over any of the other guards.

Yea Collision isn't a true PG who can effectively run a good offense. Collision lacks the playmaking ability that I would want from my PG. Westbrook averaged more assists than him and he isn't even the primary ball handler most of the time. If he was 6'4ish, then that might not be a problem b/c you could just slide him to the 2 spot occasionally, but he is way too small to play anywhere else but the 1.

I wouldn't pick him anywhere near the lottery, since he'll probably max out as a young Booby Jackson/Earl Watson type.

Eh, Rose abuses everyone, but I didn't see the game so I can't comment on it.

But in all honestly, I don't even think we will keep our pick. Whether it be trade down for multiple picks, somehow trade up, or package it to get a player that will really help us. Not sure, but I just don't see us keeping it.

We better keep our pick especially if all of these underclassmen continue to declare for the draft. The draft is gonna be stacked.

it would be retarded to trade down if we get a top 4 pick...if anything, we should try to trade up...

I doubt we trade the pick because unfortunately, I think the FO is too incompetent to be involved in a big/smart trade.

cant we do a sign and trade plus our pick to get a higher pick?

No, since the draft is before the signing period.

Since were almost guaranteed the 6th or 7th pick, thanks to some terrible wins we have had lately, we can only hope that some euro blows everyone away like darko, pushing someone else to us. About our only option would be for Mayo to fall to us at 6/7. Theres no one else i see that can fall to us, or that we can draft that we really could say would have an impact on our team. Thats why if we do haev 6/7 and do not have mayo available, I say lets trade down and get budinger, and perhaps other things that can help us.

Not based on talent level, but based on can they fit into our team, this is how i think our draft board would be:

1. Beasley - Would allow us to jettison brand for someone who can help us, and then have someone that could be probably about 85% as good as brand in his rookie year, yet cost 4 million a year instead of 20 million.

2. Rose - No way does he become a flop like livingston

3. Mayo - Has d wade type potential. Can play two positions for us. good perimeter defense.

4. Budinger (trading down) - The prototypical dunleavvy type player.

5. Love (trading down) - the perfect backup to both brand and kaman.

But why do i have this nagging feeling Danilo Gallinari is at the top of dunleavvy's draft board? lol

the second time i tried that espn lottery game thing the clippers did get like the 2nd pick and rose. after that i stopped playing...didnt want to jinx things. lol.

Remember, every 10 years in the year ending with 8, we get the number one pick the year after a franchise center was taken!

87 - David Robinson goes 1
88 - we get the number 1 pick a year too late

97 - Duncan goes 1
98 - we get the number 1 pick a year too late.

07 - Oden goes 1
08 - ????
