I like your picks a lot. I agree with all your lottery picks, with an exception of the Knic Bulls picking Greene
I see the Bulls picking Darrell Arthur, a natural back to the basket power forward, rather than Greene who I don't think would be as effective alongside Deng and Noah as Arthur would be with his great low post skills and iq.

I can't see him not being drafted, with that offensive game...


Good player, but I do not see him declaring.

Certainly possible. Though Arthur is a guy who faces up a lot, so he is not a true back to the basket big. Also, you are forgeting Ty Thomas, who the Bulls still are pretty high on. I'm not sure they go big 3 years in a row in the lottery.

Cammo what do you think of Javale Mcgee. I notice that he isn't on your list. Is there a reason why you think he isn't coming out this year? I think that he could go fairly high and I couldn't see Toronto passing on him if Thabeet is not available and Mcgee is. A tall athletic shot blocking big is exactly what we need and we have a strong willed coach and enough good guys in the locker room to take a chance on his supposed bad attitude.

I think he is very good. He was on my mock for a while like a month back. I think he will stay for another year of college. He is still pretty raw and can be a top 5 pick next year if he stays. A good tourny may have him pulling a Patrick O'Bryant and coming out early.

I don't see the Blazers drafting Budinger. Even if James Jones opts out, Webster and Outlaw are capable SF's and not as big of a need as PG. I didn't see Russell Westbrook of UCLA on the board. If he declares I could see Portland taking him at 13.

Westbrook should be going back to school. He is too raw and has too much to gain with Collision leaving. IMO Collison will freefall if he declares, possibly out of the first round. If he returns to school, he may be a top 5 pick next year.

Collison will never be a top 5 pick IMO.......and I disagree in general, I think this is the no brainer weak PG class of a year for him to declare in

Collison or Westbrook? Westbrook will freefall if he declares. Mark my words.

I think you meant to say Westbrook there.
And I really don't see Westbrook falling out of the first round, I'd think he is pretty much a lock for a top 20 pick, although another year of school certainly wouldn't hurt.

I agree Collison should declare. But, not Westbrook.

Then have fun with another combo guard. There are no impact players where the Knicks pick right now. Look around and tell me how big of an impact Mayo or Gordon or Bayless are having on their college team, let alone a pro team. You draft the best prospect, not the best player next season.

I doubt it. You can't tell me there isn't a team in the top 20 who wouldn't take a guy with as much potential as Westbrook. You said earlier about the Knicks "take the best prospect"(if you don't have a top 3 pick). Well the guy has a ton of potential. He's a 6'3'' PG with a ton of athleticism, a good defender, and he's a good passer. You're saying he wouldn't even go in the 1st round? You're crazy bro.

Right now Westbrook is a short SG, he has yet to prove he can be a PG aqt the next level. If he comes back next year and proves that, he may be a top 5 pick. All that stuff you said sounds exactly like what people said about Chris Taft when he declared. Good defender and athletic, he is a lock for the first round. But, magically, he didn't go in the first round.
