This might be the single-best guard orientated draft in the history of the NBA. Any team that needs a guard that will make an impact will find a player through 7. This is probably THE draft to somehow hold two high picks because there are MULTIPLE big time impact players from this frshmen class like I have not seen in years or likely I have not seen one better.

so we likely won't find a game changer when we're picking 9-13?

good year to have your own pick and go 38 & 44

Eric Gordon at indiana, mayo from usc and Derrick Rose Memphis st.

Rose will be the next WADE IMHO

Beasley will go 1 Gordon will go 2 Hibbert will go 3.

rose is a great kid, he is going to be an instant impact player in this league, I feel..

briggs you think hibbert's going to go over rose? rose is the most explosive PG i've seen since baron davis as a freshman at UCLA. that dude THROWS DOWN, strokes the 3, gets his teammates involved, i'd say he's in the top 3 (w/ beasley and gordon)

I think any reasonable team knows in order to win they need a true 5. Roy Hibbert has unusual skills for a 7-2 player--namely his incredible touch and footwork aroudn the basket. It's almost a no-brainer and depending on who drafts where he could go 1--although this years players are hard to give up. If it was my pick for the Knicks at 1 Id take Gordon hands down. He is something between Barkley and John Starks with a great handle. A very unusual player who already has incredible power and size for the 2 guard to go along with great athletic ability and every fundamental. I dont see how teams can stop him.
