What do you want to trade to get the 20th pick ?
and I rather have Beno as backup PG than a rookie.
Jordan Farmar, PG, UCLA
Not only is Farmar the best prospect in the camp, he's the best one to play in a pre-draft camp in a while.
Farmar is a pure point guard who led UCLA to the NCAA championship game. He's ranked by many NBA teams as the second- or third-best point guard in the draft.
could spurs trade with suns for their 20 pick and get this kid?

let farmar and beno fit it out in training camp
NBA Comparison: Luke Ridnour
Strengths: True point guard with excellent vision and passing ability ... Has a great feel for the game, with the ability to elevate the level of play of his teammates ... Amazing creativity and anticipation ... Sees plays before they develop, finds teammates the instant they become open, the mark of a great passer ... Ball handling ability is superb ... Very good shooter with range ... Uses change of speeds well ... Good quickness, gets into the lane and by defenders well ... Has a bag of tricks offensively with a nasty crossover and good ability to pull up for shots when open ... Plays solid team defense, reads passing lanes for steals ..
Weaknesses: Athleticism and strength could be an issue for him in the NBA ... Lacks great body strength, not a physical specimen type but has some leaping ability and quickness ... A big or real physical guard can push him around ... Turnover prone, can get caught up trying to be too fancy ... Makes a lot of spectacular passes, but in trying to do so makes a lot of turnovers ... Small hands seem to make him more prone to turnovers ... Lacks explosiveness and finishing ability around the basket ... Not especially long or tall, cant see over defenses and must make ball fakes to get passes over or around bigger defenders ...
if I draft an american I draft him
beno has no confidence so you have to bring in somone else anyhow
he is not going to cost much
trade picks with the suns they will want them after nextr year with them being over their money problem
No offense, but I'm not dying to trade up to make sure we land The Next Luke Ridnour.
we are just looking for a backup not a starter
do you want to keep trying nve's out of the world?
beno is no the answer because po would rather play the nve's of the world
Strengths: Farmar’s best attributes revolve around his phenomenal playmaking skills, basketball IQ and the way he makes everyone around him better, which separates him from every other point guard in this draft except for possibly Marcus Williams. Farmar is an unbelievable passer, possessing terrific court vision and an uncanny knack for delivering the ball in a favorable position to score. Much of his success as both a passer and a scorer has to do with his terrific ball-handling skills. Farmar possesses all the crafty little tricks great shot-creators have. Considering that he is not an explosive athlete, this ability to create space to operate is extremely important.
Weaknesses: The most glaring would be his lack of athleticism, as he possesses average explosiveness at best. His first step is not all that impressive. He often needs a screen, nifty ball-handling or other tricks to get by his man at the college level. He is not a consistent shooter. Farmar showed some definite problems with not knowing his limitations at times. Farmar’s second biggest weakness is his defense. He only possesses average length and lateral quickness and therefore struggles to stay in front of quicker opponents.
Outlook: A prospect with rare strengths and glaring weaknesses, Farmar is clearly a beauty in the eye of the beholder type of prospect. Farmar has a definite itch to play in the NBA, and would likely stay in the draft should he be guaranteed a first-round selection. He said he will not attend the Orlando pre-draft camp, relying on private workouts to try and get his stock to where it needs to be.
Comparison: Deron Williams
I rather keep our pick for 2007. 2007 will be a way better draft than 2006.
A rookie like Farmer won't help us for the 06-07 year more than a min player like Palacio, Pargo or Vaughn.
I have seen him play a lot and I don't even know if he'll make it in the NBA. He's a bad finisher, not too athletic, poor percentage shooter, inconsistent and turnover prone. He's okay, but I'm surprised if people think he's a first round pick.
Trade up for this guy? Get real.
Personally, the top PG on my wishlist for next year is Pargo. Fairly cheap, has some experience, and he and Beno can compete for the backup spot.
I don't hate the idea of drafting Farmar, I'm just not that excited. His bio looks a lot like Beno, maybe with a better handle.
I don't think you can trade away picks in consecutive drafts. So if we trade away a 1st rounder, it must be 2008 or later.
Welcome in the 2006 draft.
There are loopholes. You end up trading the resulting player after the draft instead of the pick before the draft, but the net result is the same.
In fact you can do a Famer for 2007 first round pick trade.
Phoenix had to draft Farmer for us and than we trade Farmer draft rights for a 2007 first round pick just after the draft.
Thanks for the inf. But of course the Spurs should onto 2007 picks.
I only say him in march madness
he looked decent then
then some thought he would go in the first round I thought he would be ok
soem have said he was the second or 3 best point guard in draft
if that is the case he might go in the first round
you should write these draft info's up
one that I posted said he was an good shooter
^^^
Probably, but it's an incredibly weak year for PGs. They all came out last year.
What about Dee Brown?
dee brown has been impressive
Other than Bill Walton and Baron Davis, how many Bruins have panned out in the NBA? Not many.
*I'm a UCLA alum.
DEE BROWN
The Griz own the 24th pick in the first round of the June 28 NBA draft.
"We think that's an area we want to look at in the draft," said Tony Barone Sr., the team's director of player personnel. "We want to investigate as many combo guards as we can find. A combo guard to us is a guard who can absolutely play both positions. We want someone who can survive at either position."
Enter Illinois' Dee Brown, who Friday helped give the Grizzlies what Barone described as the organization's best workout since arriving in Memphis.
Brown displayed deft shooting and exceptional speed throughout a session with Rutgers' Quincy Douby and South Carolina's Tarence Kinsey.
Brown easily proved himself as the most electrifying prospect.
"Those are very hard guys to find because if you're trying to convert a shooting guard into a point, then that's next to impossible," Barone said of combo guards. "And most point guards aren't big enough to play shooting guard. Strength is the No. 1 attribute you're looking for in these (combo) guys."
The Griz will resume pre-draft workouts Tuesday.
No thanks, he's not quick enough.
