question

did you pull the draft order out of your head? that would be impressive.

Sadly, no

You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.

an attempt at "count on it" picks

1 – chicago – rose
2 – miami – beasley (i think the trade rumors are all bogus)
3 – minnesota – o.j. mayo
12 – sacramento – roy hibbert (makes prada look like a genius in the sbnation draft)
18 – washington – some future all-star
22 – orlando – courtney lee

that’s all i’ve got.

I'll have my unequivocally awful mock up later tonight

Is the Portland-New York trade 13 & 27 for 6 straight-up, or are players moving as well?

Nah, players would move

It’d probably be something like Travis Outlaw and Steve Blake/Jarrett Jack heading to NY, with someone like David Lee or Nate Robinson going to Portland. I got too lazy to figure out.

Curious...

I know there is a ton of respect for Hollinger on here. Just wondering why so many are adamant against Darrell Arthur if he is projected as the 5th best prospect in this draft by Mr Hollinger?

I figured that would sway some folks. Just curious…

I guess I disagree with him on this...

I have no clue how Arthur ended up so high on his list. I think Arthur has a lot of potential, but the lack of rebounding is a huge red flag for this team. It’s the one thing we could use in a big man, and it’s Arthur’s biggest weakness.

I think he can play, but he’s a bad fit.
