This is still my value board for the #8 pick.
Gerald Green
Fran Vazquez
Chris Taft
Tiago Splitter
I agree with Nalod. We already have Ariza, need to fill-up other needs.
My perfect draft would be...
8 - Gerald Green
30 - Johan Petro - (Lightning strikes twice and Johan does a Lampe)
54 - Moussa Badiane - We need a shot blocker.
Id like to get Gerald Greene too. Someone that big playing 2G with his shot and athletic ability almost calls out star. Right now I am indifferent on the bigs. I still don't know enough about the foreign Euros and while I have somewhat sold the idea about Chris Taft at times, I find myself bouncing back and forth.
Id like to get Andrew Bogut, if we lose the lottery then I would do a LOT to try to get Green. If Im sitting at 8, there are scenarios I see where moving back might be the best bet.
Id be very willing to move back to the LAL spot IF they had a man they really wanted ahead of the Warriors for picks 37+39--giving them back 53:>) that what does kind of stink being at 8 instead of 7, there was more leverage at 7. I think Id be willing to do 8 for 12+32 from the clippers as well.
I think it would just give us more option to move back a few slots to get a high 2 in this draft. You're likely to get your player anyway, and then this draft is great in that 25-40 area, thats where serious value will be found. This draft is deep in that area. I think after 12-14 or so, anyone from 14 back to 40 could be very close in caliber.
