NBA combine:

I dont think he would be too hard pressed in wanting to take Rubio, if both of those guys are there at #4. But I guess we'll have to hear it from the man himself. :D

Now, I would be pained..for the roughly 30 seconds it too me to call up Washington and say what do you want for that #5 pick. ;)

But yes, my preferred two players in this draft, and no, its not an easy choice between them. If I was a true Rubio believer maybe not so hard, although I am still aware that championship teams always win the battle inside while the great PG is optional. If its Lakers/Magic, your championship PGs are Derek Fisher or Rafer Alston. But the key thing is both teams are littered with big monsters controlling action inside. Its also true that there are potentially much better Rubio alternatives available at #23 than there could be Thabeet alternatives. I'll say Rubio because missing out on a star at that position would be foolish. But I would have misgivings -- we desperately desperately need waht tahbeet could bring, and there are very few of those commodities just floating around the NBA.

Am I the only one that sees Portland's name all over the 5th pick?! I just get this feeling that they will swing a move and end up with pick 5. Whether they buy it or swing a trade, I just see Portlands landing the 5th pick and picking thier PG.
 
damn! we better be a step a head of portland then! i bet hes going to make a lot of moves! why cant petrie be as active as pritchard!?

Having watched both days of the combine more than once, so as not to miss anything,(TIVO) I would say that he and I don't see things exactly the same way. I'll just leave it at that. I'm not saying that some of whats there isn't accurate, but some of his facts are wrong, which is surprising for someone supposedly at the combine. Plus a few of his critiques make's me think he saw a different player than I did. But it is all subjective..

Could be that Portland has more expendable pieces that have value, that they can move without affecting their core base. The Kings don't have that luxury. At least not yet.

i know this draft is filled with pgs, but why would portland want another pg when they have blake, sergio, and bayless. i mean they have what is needed to get that 5th pick, but their team seems quite young and deep. but i guess you can never have too many young stars

Wasn't even aware we were in the market for another undersized shooting guard -- be better off just bringing back McCants.

I agree. I actully liked what McCants brought the Kings last season. It is nice to have SG who can come in and play tough, physical defense while still supplying some offense.
