Who do you guys hope your team drafts?

My Warriors have pick 7...I'm really hoping for Demar DeRozan out of USC. Either him or Ty Lawson. We could use a PG, but nobody is quite sure that there's a franchise PG in this draft. DeRozan is a crazy good athlete, would be a great small forward/shooting guard hybrid.

true, i don't follow college basketball, so i don't know anything about these players.

and HAN should do a money league fantasy football. 20 bucks is fine, it just keeps people interested as oppose to quitting.

I think the warriors need a big, physical PG to counteract Ellis playing the 2 guard.


As for my Blazers... I have no idea what they'll do. They have the 24th pick, which isn't great. My hope is to see a trade for Kirk Hinrich to improve our starting point, and to get rid of Travis Outlaw.

There aren't any big PG's in this draft except for Tyreke Evans, who is still learning to play the point. They still have the option of using Monta at the point, and getting a solid 2/3 player.

That would be a huge mistake. There's nobody worth those players at #2. Rubio is a question mark (and probably overrated), as is Thabeet. The only reason to trade up would be to go #1 and get Blake Griffin.

They don't need to dismantle their team...they just need to stay healthy.
