I hope no one minds, I went ahead and started the next one. Just thought I would help out.

As for my vote I gotta go with Greene, I think at this point in the draft we are firmly in "best player available" mode, and I think he has the most potential of the remaining options.

Not at all bro, thanks for doing it.

I'm going with Arthur. I like Alexander and Lawson a lot though.

CDR.

I know absolutely nothing about Batum other than that he is French and that descriptions of him scream "small forward" even though he is sometimes said to be a two guard as well.

The French thing doesn't bother me, but I am prejudiced against small forwards.

Arthur I think is BPA at this point.

Batum. If we are dedicated to playing an uptempo/forward dominated game, Batum is the guy. He's athletic/versatile. Bad season this past year, after the 07 nike draft summit he was projected to be a lottery lock.

I say Koufos, although in all honesty I don't think it matters in this range. We wouldn't trade up here for anyone that's not on our draft board already, and if we're looking at Koufos, Hibbert, or even McGee who's already on there I would think that we would trade back in a little later in the draft as at least two of the three are likely to hang around until #20. That's assuming we draft a PG and trade back in for a C. If we trade JO our team needs change a little, but there's a lot of SG/SF's here that we don't need.

Koufos, he has the size and skills to thrive as a center in our system.

Still on the quest for CDR, I see.

I'm going with BPA. Joe Alexander. Understanding that he is a SF, but who cares. He is the only guy on the list who has a slight chance of becoming something great.

If we need a tiebreaker, I'm willing to change my vote to Koufos so that we can move on to #16.

Brandon Rush we need another shooter.
