I dont care. NO MEDIOCRE PGS. I will puke if we take Holiday, Flynn or Jennings.

I may be the only one on this board, but Nate Robinson fills out a stat sheet every night and would destroy one of those guys night after night. I would rather let him beat out Duhon or them share then take one of those three I just listed.

I like Curry and Rubio and would be happy if one was there at 8

I have killed Thabeet but I think he fits in our system and would be happy trading up for him

Evans and Derozan are good prospects and fine at 8

If Curry is gone I wouldnt mind trading down for Gerald Henderson or Terrance Williams. Williams especially. He's got some issues but I think he could be this year's Josh Howard (who also has issues).

Jordan Hill would be great. Then you can let Lee walk or use him in a sign and trade and keep Nate around if the price is right

Funny you say no mediocre PG and then ask to have Nate be PG when he isn't a PG.

I think those guys will be good pros. Well, maybe not Jennings. But I think Flynn and Holiday will do well in the league in due time.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

I think what Fish is saying is that we shouldn't take a PG just because we could really use a very good PG here. We need to get a good prospect at 8 and if Curry is gone, we shouldn't just look at the remaining PGs and take the next best one (because there is a drop off after Curry and we are probably better off just having Nate play the 1 and using the pick on a different position).

We really need to nail this pick and while both Flynn and Lawson look like they can become solid PGs in this league, we need to land something better than that with the 8th overall pick. There is an abundance of "solid" PGs in this league and using a top 10 pick on one wouldn't be the best way to use this asset. If Curry is gone, I think you take a good look at either Derozan or Evans. Those three prospects, in my opinion, are the best options we have at pick 8. If Hill falls, you definitely take a look at him too but honestly, I haven't seen enough of him to pass judgment.

If we can move up, either Rubio or Thabeet would also be great.

I think Fishmike is right, but I might disagree with him on his characterization of Jennings. I think he has the potential upside to be one of the top PGs coming through this draft.

Alan Hahn: Nate Robinson has been on a ridonkulous scoring tear lately (remember when he couldn't hit Jerome James with a Big Mac in early January?)

why isnt he a PG? Curry (sort of) plays PG for a 30 college games and we are lucky to have him fall to 8.

Its fair to say that Nate isnt going to be floor general type because he's going to create a lot off his scoring, but I can certainly see him being a Nick Van Exel type. Heck.. he's def more talented than Rafer Alston.

If you look at what Nate can do he's a good PG prospect in this league at 25 years old.

Nate also had one of the best +/- on the team, and when he played with Duhon and Duhon moved to SG Duhon's per went up as well.

Anyway.. we can argue this all night. I like Nate's game wherever he plays and loathe to see him replaced by inferior talent when we need players.

Curry
Lawson
Flynn

.........trade it if they're gone. Which Flynn won't be. I'd gamble on him. Can always trade him later. I'm still wary of Curry being another Marbury though - not in attitude just in the way he plays the game - GUNNER.

I don't even remember what I had for breakfast...or if I even ate breakfast. You now want me to remember your breakdowns of Derozen's 3pt shooting prowess?

Curry
Evans
Derozan


Do not want Hill Holiday

So now both Curry and Evans jumped DeRozan for you. Time to update the Briggs mock draft.

Ive got the same 3 guys most of the years Evans Derozan Mullens. I thought Curry was going to measure 6-1 165--big difference at 6-3 185 and possibly still growing. Im fine with any of those 4 at 8. If I choose 1 guy and gonzo--well than what do you say? If Rubio Harden Thabeet and Hill go in the top 6 then we should get 1 of the players I mentioned.
