Personally, I like Crawford. But I see I'm in the minority. Let's say he is a pawn to aquire Rasheed Wallace or Ron Artest. This obviously leaves a hole at the 2 guard. I don't believe Q Rich is a full time solution due to injury concerns & also their accrued effects on his explosiveness (even if he does make it back from back surgery).I certainly don't believe in Stevie Franchise-killer, who in my opinion, is one of the dumbest players I have ever seen. He also is a horrible fit with a lineup that features Marbury & Curry.

So, let's say we make one of those two trades (preferably Wallace). In the draft, we're looking at Almond, Bellini, Fernandez (assuming Stuckey & Young are gone). What are your thoughts on the potential of these 3 playing significant minutes in their 1st year. Almond is clearly a shooter extraordinare. Not sure about defense, ability to get to the hoop. Bellini is very intriguing. Good shooter, good athlete, polished & used as a defensive stopper on his current team. Fernandez I know least about. Is the Ginobilli comparison in the ballpark.

I'd like input on Arron Affaolo as well.

Anyone who can do one thing above average can get minutes. Almond will find a way to get on the floor year one. I only know what they say about Bellinelli- which is that he can shoot. Fernandez- is he gonna stay in this time? People are all over the map on him- might be a lot of flash and not much substance.

I still want to draft Nick Young. Does everything pretty well.

He reminds me of a tad skinnier version of Richard Jeffereson that's why i think there is no shot he is there @ 23. I think he'll end up in the lottery.
