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?)

I think they would have been drafted ahead of Griffin because of their scoring ability. Just my opinion.

Rubio is a nice prospect but no way would you "insert" him over OJ Mayo who NBA scouts were scouting since middle school. Rubio has been talked mainly about since last year. Most likely he would have gone to the Knicks at the 6th spot.

I have OJ ahead of Rubio and Griffo, but its all an approximation anyway.

I think it gives you a visual that this draft doesn't have those A+ guys, but it has more of the A guys than last year... which is good considering where we're drafting.

it's impossible to have a poll like this cuz we have the benefit of hindsight w/last year's picks to some degree... for instance u'd obviously put Lopez, Gordon, Augustine, Thompson & Randolph higher up in the draft order if u could re-do things.

i'd say Griffin would rank right up there w/Rose & Beasley as 1 of the top 3, & it would depend on what team was picking & what their main need was that determined which one was picked first.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.
