I love Randolph in fantasy hoops, but lets keep him there!

What! How could you even form your mouth to say Curry reminds you of Douby? Curry is bonafide and closer to Mike Bibby.

For me it goes

1. Flynn
2. Curry
3. Rubio- before everybody starts screaming, I have him here because I don't know much about it, besides the little I seen of him in the Olympics haven't really seen him in game situations so he lands here.
4. Maynor
5. Evans
6. Mills
7. Holiday
8. Teague
9. Lawson
10. Collison
11. Douglas

If Rubio is Petrie's man and if he's there then get him, but I am totally against moving up to get him. We can drop down a few notches and get Flynn or Curry. If Flynn can develop a consistent jump shot he would be unstoppable and the perfect partner for Martin. I like Curry a whole lot especially if the Kings go back to the Princeton, I just worry about his penetrating ability.

I wouldn't mind also moving down and grabbing James Johnson as a starting 3 who can also play some minutes at 4. And then drafting someone like Maynor with the 2nd #1.

This draft class is very weak overall it amazes me how every year there are so many people that think the current draft class is so great

IMO there are 4-5 players that might be really good at best & another 10-15 players that might be good role & bench players at best all the rest will be busts if there are 1 or 2 superstar players from this draft i will be amazed.

Having a point guard that offers lock down defense that keeps dribble penetration from the paint in invaluable. It will make everyone better on the defensive side of the ball. The only point that I see capable of doing that is Holliday. The kid had a terrible season, and isnt the athlete that westbrook is, but for a team that is in need of a defensive mindset adjustment, we could do a whole lot worse. Add to that he's actually capable of developing into a legit offensive point and what looked like a reach at 4 is now looking like excellent value. To me, its a no brainer. Holliday at 4.
Interesting, you have some ideas you would like to bounce off Brian Sabean? That's strange, I have some objects I would like to bounce off Brian Sabean.

Does that make you an Eddy Curry fantasy fan too?

Actually I usually hear, outside the top 2-3-4 guys this draft is WEAK, and every year it's almost ALWAYS better than expected with 2000 being the main exception to this rule.

I actually think Tyreke Evans will be a better defender and scorer in the NBA than Holliday. I like Holliday too.

A frail, midget SG masquerading around as a PG sounds a lot like Quincy Douby to me. Please, stay away from Curry.

He could be solid someday, but he's not our answer.

Just say NO to Zach Randolph, please!
My choice is Jrue Holiday, even with the 4th pick

While I agree Curry isn't the answer at #4, I WOULD take him #23 - but he won't be there. He's a far cry from Quincy as a prospect.
