" Over a lot already Sparage joined by our NBA analyst Marcus Johnson who I should mention was the third overall pick. And I 1977. NBA draft you know that that I -- number -- it should've been number one good thing to a more for their moment. We're planning the top five picks in the upcoming 2009. NBA draft will start at number five the Wizards have the fifth pick -- Or have a solid core it would Arenas Antawn Jamison and -- butler is it safe to say that will be going for big."

" Not really because the -- the one quality quality bigs in the draft will probably be gone that time that has seen the speed of of UConn of course Blake Griffin. Of Oklahoma -- no one picks and now you look at that just -- the best athlete best player available. And a couple of got a couple of pac ten guys that I think that they'll have to choose between the Marta Rose from USC is one of them. Freshman jump out the gym really came on strong the last 0510 games of of the season in the pac ten tournament. You have to look at him because if you just it's super he's an athletic freak kind of a Vince Carter have a player -- is developing a jump -- Than James Harden is in the together and you're not particularly keen on methods that high in the draft right maybe but but you 138. It's max vertical jump. Clips flare for Arizona State this season time and time again make a big shots and he's got that. That in between gear that Larry Bird head that a that a Chris Mullin had that is so difficult to -- defensively being that natural left the as I I think in the woods it would take a good hard look at James Harden that signified. Well Sacramento had the worst record in the league but the things that have any lottery luck they didn't get the topic the hobby number four slash of course they need a lot of help so. We think they got their eyes plug another effecting guys Jordan Hill a lot of people talking about him going at that that spot and that would that be a bad pick up even -- the Dallas Mavericks are hearing over the coming Jordan -- and her. Willing to part with but to different players are trying to move up and and give him they've been in trade or -- themselves open to that draft position but George -- he's a guy who measured out. In stocking feet 69 and a half allow people -- is that you could be sixteen and in the regular season. Initially used except yeah guy who measured out there and half so -- and then and Christians on 16610 and have. So they feel very comfortable that he can play against a lot of the -- in the NBA in today's NBA. You don't have as many big but he moves that you had before you get guys get jackets about the death but the pretty much the converted power -- plants and Jordan Hill has improved himself tremendously his skill level. He works that would Amare Stoudamire skill camp in the summertime and Matt Huber of a club kind of a miniature Marley and in a lot of ways that not completely as athletic. But he's got that'd be a good fit for the second okay. All all the said he will have the third pick course young Kevin Durant the face of the franchise but so what new face its toughest. Well if Hashim -- the moves down that far you snatch him up right away I mean this team. They've done a terrific job of putting together a nice solid Youkilis and Kevin Durant and Jeff Green and Russell Westbrook. They've got some talented young players. They get that big -- 73265. Pounds glass eater -- blacker. Intimidator in sad who has improved this off it's a game I think he was kind of -- it didn't really look like this move basketball player. He's proven me wrong each and every time I see him machine that beat if he's available. Oklahoma City heavily snatches him up in a heartbeat. Matt that's what picks second all these so called experts are saying the Grizzlies will either take Spain's Ricky rubio or machine to beat. However the -- already have a big man Marcus off course a pretty good point guard him. Mike Conley so which way do you think they're going to go this well you know I think was going to happen with -- as a young man out there that would sell some tickets because he played locally -- Evanston and the thing that I like but we've evidence that. He gives them a guy that can play both positions they want a player that if they want to play Mike Conley could play alongside him. They want to play OJ Mayo could play point guard alongside OJ Mayo he fits that bill. Perfectly just to -- Evans and yet they elect about him a lot of guys a run in from competition. -- in the in the pre draft workouts have been the Marta Rose and and one of biggest Q how of the Andy Hart refused to Vegas this guy and this guy don't they give this guy. To -- it was like hey I think he's a mama your daddy -- because he's I don't it would be adult whoever I won't play against anybody bring a lot I love that competitive spirit. And I think this is a young man look at his talent Manny did how young media's -- talent at 6566. He could be a real kind of a sleeper possible superstar in the making the -- And Ricky rubio is kind of hedging a little bit now go to can really is stated that he's not sure waving as to whether or not he wants to play overseas another year he's ready for the NBA draft at this point it seems like he and his representative. Our plans to mind games and try and do whatever and of the and I got a major buyout with his European team. Yet you just don't know what's going on with him right now but until that. Stabilized and you know for sure. They're going to be -- love differently fight last but not least the Clippers. Have the number one pick and they've all but assured us that the goal of Oklahoma's Blake Griffin. How can the Clippers possible method -- advantage you know. If anybody good -- but I just don't think that it's possible in this situation and and especially. With the work ethic of Blake Griffin it'd be different -- this of the young man that did that you maybe had some of some worries about in terms of character personality and and desire and heart but. You don't have any that would this young man he works his behind off. And then in the pre draft work out to -- his shuttle time was. Number one amongst big players these. Standing vertical -- like 38 and a half inches that the the the best among the big guys out there he's worked on his offensive repertory reminds me of of kind of a shot hit with a little bit more smarts and brains in and basketball savvy at this stage of the game so. I don't think the Clippers missed a bombing in David and they did the smart thing. They they -- were going to go definitely different but up to bet that you don't want to entertain any offers hear anything else. You stay with that and you bring him in get this city excited about it outstanding and how -- that. And -- the future hopefully so it's a no brainer pick and O'Brien now you know. You gotta move may -- is that went up LaMarcus candor Chris came to make room for a minute for the that's okay you didn't do anything issue with them anyway so. You bring -- Blake Griffin you build your team around him and you make it your poster boy and I think it -- serve -- well we'll -- so the Clippers are going to shock us will Michael Olowokandi pick. Not do it. No candy man in this draft I artists that Marcus. Great save on a credit to.
