Best two players in draft are Rubio and Thabeet. I am telling you know Blake G will be a bust and will be out of the league within 3-4 years tops.

DeRozan is my third best player in draft, this kid has it all after only playing a year to get his homie Lil Romeo in at USC. Dont also forget about Brandon Jennings sure he didnt light it up in Spain but the experience in that one year was only a major positive.


The Clippers should draft Thabeet, even if they think Griffin is the best player he does not fit, with Baron and Gordon in there. But Ricky Rubio is a cant miss player.

But JJ Redick should?

This guy, based on physical ability alone, will be a 20-10 guy for ten years. He is a prototype NBA four and will be a nightmare to stop...right away. I can't think of a better big athlete that has come along in the last so many years.

At this point Griffin should just tell the Clippers to trade the #1 pick or he's going to Europe. He's doomed to a miserable career if he stays with the Clippers. They are the most poorly run franchise in sports and they have Randolph who has an impossible to unload contract.

I think the Clippers win 45 games next year or more and surprise a lot of people. They have talent. They aren't that far off.

Yes...it is a bad contract. But it is unloadable in the sense that there are only two seasons left on it and he still is productive in some ways. There are lots of bad contracts out there and with just 28 million left, someone could easily trade for it and buy it out.

The Elton Brand contract is another story...

DeRozan can't shoot.
Thabeet is the 2nd coming of Sam Dalembert
I agree Rubio will do fine
Jennings may be the 2nd coming of Telfair, have never seen him play
Griffin will be a very good NBA player but being on the Clippers, will anyone even notice?
