| 1. | Los Angeles Clippers | Blake Griffin, power forward, Oklahoma | A decision that the Clippers can’t bungle. Griffin is the only sure thing in the draft and will be a solid building block. |
| 2. | Memphis Grizzlies | Ricky Rubio, point guard, Spain | The Grizzlies should ignore the risks and take Rubio for his dazzling upside. If he refuses to report, they can easily trade him. |
| 3. | Oklahoma City Thunder | Stephen Curry, guard, Davidson | Curry can spread the floor for Kevin Durant with his 3-point stroke and share backcourt duties with Russell Westbrook. |
| 4. | Sacramento Kings | Tyreke Evans, guard, Memphis | Evans is a bit raw, but the Kings could use his athleticism and versatility next to Kevin Martin. |
| 5. | Minnesota Timberwolves | James Harden, shooting guard, Arizona State | After trading Mike Miller and Randy Foye to get this pick, Wolves are frightfully thin at guard. Harden is one of the few N.B.A.-ready players in the draft. |

I am starting to better about the pick this year
I was really worried that it would be Rubio or bust (I am still in his camp) but I feel better alright with Evans or Flynn. It may not be a dream come true but the reality is the team will get a solid upgrade at the pg position which is a huge improvement
Finding positives in a 65 loss season since 2009
