No clock here!

I've stopped by every board whose team has a pick in the first round of the draft and waited until a clear frontrunner had been determined. One more to go. If the Cavalier board cannot come up with a pick I'll step in and make a reasonable selection for you Fortunately I have not yet had to do that. Here are the results so far:

1. Clippers - Blake Griffin PF, 20, Oklahoma City, OK
2. Grizzlies - Ricky Rubio PG, 18, Barcelona, Spain
3. Thunder - Hasheem Thabeet C, 22, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
4. Kings - James Harden SG, 19, Los Angeles, CA
5. Wizards - Tyreke Evans G, 19, Chester, PA
6. Wolves - Demar DeRozan G/F, 19, Compton, CA
7. Warriors - Jrue Holiday G, 19, Chatsworth, CA
8. Knicks - Jordan Hill PF, 21, Atlanta, GA
9. Raptors - Brandon Jennings PG, 19, Los Angeles, CA
10. Bucks - DeJuan Blair PF, 20, Pittsburgh, PA
11. Nets - James Johnson PF, 22, Cheyenne, WY
12. Bobcats - Terrence Williams SG, 21, Seattle, WA
13. Pacers - Stephen Curry G, 21, Charlotte, NC
14. Suns - Earl Clark F, 21, Plainfield, NJ

15. Pistons - Austin Daye F, 21, Irvine, CA
16. Bulls - Jonny Flynn PG, 20, Niagara Falls, NY
17. Sixers - Ty Lawson PG, 21, Clinton, MD
18. Wolves - Gerald Henderson SG, 21, Caldwell, NJ
19. Hawks - Eric Maynor PG, 22, Fayetteville, NC
20. Jazz - Jeff Teague PG, 21, Indianapolis, IN
21. Hornets - Darren Collison PG, 21, Rancho Cucamonga, CA
22. Mavericks - Marcus Thornton SG, 22, Baton Rouge, LA
23. Kings - Tyler Hansbrough PF, 23, Columbia, MO
24. Blazers - BJ Mullens C, 20, Canal Winchester, OH
25. Thunder - Sam Young SF, 24, Clinton, MD
26. Bulls - Wayne Ellington SG, 21, Wynnewood, PA
27. Grizzlies - Omri Casspi SF, 21, Yavne, Israel
28. Wolves - Patrick Mills PG, 20, Canberra, Australia
29. Lakers - Chase Budinger SF, 21, Encinitas, CA

And with the final pick of the 2009 SlowForm draft Cleveland takes...?

(Support/ridicule of choices encouraged)

Derrick Brown, DaJuan Summers, or Taj Gibson seem logical. I'd say the edge to Brown. Yeah, Derrick Brown, Xavier. I don't see the Cavs taking a foreign player. My guess is the Cavs find a way to move up, but the way this mock shapes up, Derrick Brown at #30. What does anyone know about Omri Casspi? The scouting reports make him sound like a Rip Hamilton-type non-stop runner with a great mind for spacing, but still raw with his jumper. And he didn't seem to play many games last year and around 20 min., so he probably couldn't take 82+ games. But apparently scouts love his potential.

If the Knicks can buy the 28 can the Cavs get in that. And can they go and buy the #21 as well. Then their three picks and Ben and Sasha and cash for Shaq and #14.

wrong thread

Derrick Brown

Danny Green

Although, I would draft the rights to Nick Calathes and hold him for the future...

Calathes would be a good pick and so would Claver to stash overseas.

DeMarre Carroll, Heytvelt, and Derrick Brown would also be ok.

Thornton got picked really high. Mullens dropped a good amount.

I like Derrick Brown from those choices.
