New York Times Mock Draft

http://sports.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/24/discuss-the-nba-draft-top-picks/

 

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
