    If we do end up keeping our picks, i'd be content with a Rivers/Leonard or Henson picks.

    Just an observation: people are jumping all over Austin Rivers knowing he's a Kevin Martin type who 90% on this board was fed up with because is "soft, bad defender, too small for the 2 spot etc". Now why is that?

    Biggest "name" in the draft - I picked him, thinking he would be easily flipped along with an "asset".

    Camby's a free agent, so forget about including him.

    Yup, I agree. But if you want a chance to get a star in perhaps Harrison Barnes..you might have to swallow losing some nice players.

    You have to break an egg to make an omelet. This is how you make a splash.

    Austin Rivers and Kevin Martin do not have similar games.

    who cares about RIGHT NOW?

    Barnes has a chance to average 26 ppg one day

    Actually its not even exciting who we are talking about. Meyers Leonard could be decent one day and maybe Austin Rivers isnt the next Kevin Martin or Eric Gordon.

    I think that's way high, but his ppg potential is certainly higher than Parsons.

    Seriously, every rookie in the draft has a chance to do the same.

    LOl at whoever said K-Mart and Rivers are the same. For starters Rivers can actually create his own shot unlike K-Mart.

    If i understood your comment correctly, and I may have not, I would agree except for a few exceptions. The exception this year is of course Davis.
