NBA Draft 2009

Random thoughts about the upcoming draft:

Ricky Rubio- Let me get this straight. Rubio is a 6 5 inch european point guard that is not especially quick and can't shoot especially well and people actually are talking about him with a number 2 pick? Has the world gone mad?

Ty Lawson- Why is his stock down so far? He looked like a player to me. Yeah, he's short but when did a guy need to be tall to run an offense? He looks like a classic point guard to me that is quick enough to get to the basket, strong enough to finish and shoots well enough to keep a defender honest. He does everything well and he takes care of the basketball. At very worst he will be an excellent back up pg.

Thabeet- I have a feeling he may drop a little and if he does i think some teams will be sorry for not taking him. To me, he is the legit number 2 draft choice. Although he is a project on offense, defensively he is a game changer.

Wizards- I hear they are entertaining trades for the number 5. The most interesting one was the 5 and jamison for stoudamire. Now that seems like a pretty good trade.
