It irritates me we still have to draft a back-up point after drafting George Hill last year.

Pritchard Says Blazers Could Trade Picks
Jun 17, 2009 2:45 PM EST
The Blazers have a total of five picks in next Thursday's NBA Draft, and Kevin Pritchard admitted on Tuesday that he could move them.
Pritchard said trading the team's first rounder and one of their four second-round selections "is a possibility."
Soon after Pritchard added, but "what's the fun in that?"
The Blazers are looking for a point guard.
Lots of point guards to be had in this draft.
For reference, the final early entry list:
http://www.nba.com/2009/news/06/16/e...raw/index.html
Draft is in 8 days.
I don't expect a lot from it given that Spurs first pick is #37.
However, if Spurs decide to do some trades this summer, it could happen during the draft and not after July 1st because the Oberto contract asset had to be used before July.
would anyone trade hill for blazers 5 draft picks
If the Spurs wanted a backup point guard last year, perhaps they should have actually drafted one.
I still think Hill can be a back up point guard. Back up point guards are not supposed to be better than the starters, you usually get a back up with a few specialized tools, Hill has that.

DX Podcast: Jonathan Givony Interview with Gary Parrish
by: Jonathan Givony - President
June 18, 2009
Jonathan Givony joins Gary Parrish on 730 Fox Sports in Memphis to discuss the latest on Ricky Rubio, the Grizzlies and plenty of NBA draft rumors.
(I'm unable to download video or audio, so I'd appreciate if someone could give me a recap if there's anything of interest.toast)

Can anyone tell me the Middle Eastern player that was on the local news yesterday, who is apparently a target for the draft? From what my mom remembered, he was Israeli, 6-8, and scored 9.8 while playing 20 minutes.
Omri Casspi.
A sure sign he won't end up on the Spurs.
There wasn't really anything new, it talked about Rubio and his situation with the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies recent draft history (mostly Love for Mayo), little tidbits on other players (I think mostly Tyreke Evans), and the rumors going around of Washington trying to get Stoudemire.
Hypothetical question:
For the 36 first picks, the draft follow the latest DX mock draft ( http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-mock-draft/2009/ ). Who would you like to see being drafted by SA at 37 ?
Either Green, De Colo, or Brown (in that order).
It could sound crazy, I haven't really focused much on this year's draft.
Much obliged.
Thank you kindly my man/woman/fellow ST non-troll.Omri Casspi.
A sure sign he won't end up on the Spurs.
And the answer to that would be...Thank you kindly my man/woman/fellow ST non-troll.
Yes.(But, more man, though.)
Derrick Brown is probably where I'm leaning, if the Spurs do end up just picking where they are.
I don't hate the Paul Harris pick at 51, but I think the Spurs would go with De Colo if it played out the way DX has it.
The way this mock looks, it actually seems the Spurs could get their hands on a couple of nice players. As a matter of fact, I'm starting to think this draft could turn out to have a pretty nice class. Not really a lot great/potential superstars, but a bunch of good potential rotation players.
Brown, Claver, Carroll, Christmas, Beverly, McClinton, Pendegraph, Llull, De Colo, Meeks (I can't believe he's not going back if he's projected this low) Green, Harris, Jackson, and Cunningham (in no particular order) would all be available with the 37th pick in this scenario. Not a bad bunch of prospects to choose from at that stage of the draft.
Of course, selfishly, if they could get Minnesota's 18th and the man slotted to go there, I'd be mighty fine with that.
The Top 50 Prospects and the Four Factors
By Jon Nichols
Thu, 06/18/2009 - 11:30am
With the draft a week away, I've decided to put together a list of the top 50 prospects and their corresponding offensive Four Factors numbers. For good explanations of what those are, go to Basketball Reference: Four Factors (I chose to use true shot percentage instead of effective field goal percentage). I've also included the players' ranks in each category. The lowest rank is 42 because I decided to leave out the eight Europeans.
In the next week, I plan on determining which players are the best fit for each team based on these numbers and the team Four Factors. All of the information will be on Basketball-Statistics.com.
I used Chad Ford's Top 100 list to come up with the names. College players' numbers were obtained from http://www.kenpom.com. I calculated the Euro numbers using the data available at http://www.keyhoops.com.
Don't forget to check out http://basketball-statistics.com for much more like this!
