If you want to check out the upcoming draft and check out the players, I've found that http://www.nbadraft.net/ is the best site. Some of the sites do not even have the teams in the right order or haven't even been updated for the new players who have left school and joined the draft. They have really good summaries on each player by just clicking on the one you are interested in.
One guy to go check out is Nicolas Batus, a 6'8" shooting guard from France who can play 3 positions.
This site says the Clips will go big in the first round, taking the best player available. Then go small by selecting Lester Hudson from UT, who is a fast, big combo guard who has upside.
There are 2 or 3 very tall Centers in Europe who would also be interesting in the second round that we could bring in to play backup to Kaman, like Omer Asik. Anyway go check this site out and come back here so we can discuss the players that we are seeing. They feel OJ will be gone before we pick. Unless we move up of course. |

I cannot wait to find out what spot we get in the draft, then I can really start looking at the players. Right now, it really is up in the air as to where we'll fall.
Also, it would be nice to get some hints on the status of EB and Livingston, so we know what they are thinking, just cus that could effect how we draft. |

Yeah that's a great site for drafts Jamfan- Draftexpress.com is pretty good too with lots of statistical analysis. I actually like Draftexpress a little more, but both are great.
We'll find out in a little more than a week what our position is- it's gonna be exciting! |

A Player I noticed on the list that I REALLY REALLY Like is Sonny Weems from Arkansas. The guys plays very tough, dunks all over the place because of his large wingspan and high hops!!! I think he won the college slam dunk contest this year, but I know he would be a great 2nd round pick if we're looking to add legit atheticism. I'm not sure how his shooting is though.
Also JR Giddens would be a good pick in the 2nd I think. |

| Good call JLemm. I haven't seen him play but the guy sure looks like he has potential. The Clippers should definitely bring him in for a workout. |

Just saw the Weems You Tube. He definitely looks like a guy you could take a chance on in the second round and NBADraft say he will still be available for us. They say we take Lester Hudson PG.
Some mock draft have us taking a big center from Europe in the second round. For me Weems SG at 6'6" seems like a cross between Derrick Rose PG and Al Thorton SF. Is he a shooter or a scorer? Not sure but he certainly seems like a high fly act with high energy like Al Thorton. |

| He's more of a scorer than a shooter I think. He's the kind of guy we were hoping Guillermo Diaz would become (except at a slasher position instead of a combo guard). |

The Two Possible Players we could draft are:
-Eric Gordon/Joey Dorsey
(Eric Gordon is a pure shooter, great outside shooter, great instincts...a steal to draft if OJ Mayo & Company are gone)
(Joey Dorsey is a complete beast in the middle, great rebounder, great footwork, good backup for either Kaman & Brand)
Eric Gordon is a good compliment to replacing Livingston if in fact he doesnt recover from his injury. Can play both PG/SG. A Clone of Darren Williams of Utah Jazz Gordon will make an immediate impact for the Clippers.
Joey Dorsey is a steal if still left in the draft. Great backup for Kaman & Brand, can easily throw punches & elbows in the middle and can mix it up with the best of them. A clone of Ben Wallace. |

| ^^I like that combo Clips84. I'm just not sure if Dorsey can fall that far- hopefully! |

| NBADraft.net has Dorsey at 32 and we draft at 35 in the second round, so we are not that far off from where they think he will be drafted. |

| Can Gordon play PG? I'm not sure about that, but if he can - all the better. Even if we do get Gordon, we should get a quality PG (Navarro, Arroyo, whoever else that doesnt cost too much). |

Navarro isn't a PG. He's a SG who can hit 8 3's in a night and can dish the ball but not a playmaker. I see Navarro playing since he was 18, with Gasol, and he has never been the PG of any team. He's a scorer who knows to pass the ball. He could help us a lot when our second unit is on the court because the bench last season was mediocre. Furthermore he's not in the NBA for the money because he could win more money playing in Europe. He's there because he wants to play with the best in a serious team=far away from Memphis. |
