[Krapinsky]

I'm curious, what was your thinking on the Grizz pick, #6?

[cgf]

I'd love to hear an explanation for a third SF/PF tweener for the knicks with Gallo and Chandler.

[john2jer]

I don't hate it, but as a Wolves fan I think I'd prefer an Evans/Henderson draft over Harden/Maynor. Assuming Henderson is 6'5"+ and Harden is closer to 6'4".

I like the idea of the ball dominating point guard who can get to the basket, and a backcourt mate who is a good teammate, doesn't need the ball, and can play great defense.

[nba_addict]

Suns will draft a player named Cash instead.

[gswhoops]

Ty Lawson to Memphis at #6 is a reach and doesn't fill a need. WTF?

[vincecarter4pres]

You have Johnny Flynn drafting Johnny Flynn and then the Hawks are drafting Johnny Flynn. Now how is Atlanta going to draft Flynn when he has already drafted himself the pick before?

[Silver Man]

Jeff Teague (18) to the Wolves and Flynn (19)

[Silver Man]

Bump.

You can talk about either one but my second one is the most recent and the one I want talked about more.

[Krapinsky]

Looks good for the most part. Two criticisms:

I'm not a Grizz fan, but I think Clark on the Grizz would be a disaster.

I also can't see Larry Bird drafting Jennings.

[Silver Man]

Explain to me about the Clark thing man. I'm not a big Grizzlies fan either.

[Krapinsky]

OJ/GAY/CLARK would be three players that need to be on the perimeter, that are not very efficient, and that have a tendency to turn the ball over. Just not a great combo. The way you have the draft shaking out though I don't know if there's a pick that is much better for the Grizz.
