GB Draft Coverage...feel free to stop on by and spread the Raps news, rumors, Prospect talk, etc. leading up to and on Draft night...the GB could use more Raps presence (just be polite in doing so).

Hopefully a pick-by-pick update can be provided.

GRIZZ TO TAKE THABEET; RUBIO TO KINGS?

Memphis looks like they have finally made a decision with the No. 2 pick, and the dominos are starting to fall as a result. The Grizzlies will stay put and select UConn defensive stopper Hasheem Thabeet. That leaves Ricky Rubio's destination up in the air.

The 18-year-old Spanish point guard visited Sacramento, which has the fourth selection, on Monday and picked up a basketball for the first time since his Euroleague season ended a month ago. He wasn't all that impressive, according to reports.

"It's difficult to show them what I have to do on the court, because there are no teammates and nobody there," Rubio told the Sacramento Bee. "I can't show them what I do on the court. This workout is not my style. I need my teammates around me to play basketball. I was alone."

Makes sense, since Rubio's strength is playmaking. The Kings were more interested in the fact that Rubio was making progress on a deal with DKV Joventut that will lower his buyout to $4 million.

KNICKS MAKING EXCUSES FOR HOLIDAY

UCLA guard Jrue Holiday, who spent just one pedestrian season in Westwood but has lottery-type talent, is being given every opportunity by the New York Knicks to prove he belongs at No. 8.

Holiday was outplayed badly by Stephen Curry and Gerald Henderson, two certain first-rounders, during his first workout with the Knicks so he was given a second shot on Monday.

This time Holiday worked out with Miami's Jack McClinton, a good player but not in the class of Curry or Henderson.
