    Yes to rivers. Give me a guy who can create their own shot at the 2 position anytime. he is going to improve his defense too. if we stay put at 14 and 16 we have to take him if he is there. rivers at 14 and leonard at 16 and call it a day

    Rivers has a chance to shine in the NBA. Me, I am all for J Lamb. Of course, I got to see him several times. But the SG draft takes a nose dive after Beal and Lamb.

    I don't like any of Beal, Lamb, or Rivers in this draft. I think there are some better prospects deeper in the draft, like that guy from Memphis. Also, I don't know if he's considered a 2 guard, but that guy Jae Crowder is a total stud. He will be an absolute steal wherever he goes. I think he can play the 2 as well.

    Does Rivers even know that the left side of the court exists?

    courtney lee is better? if rivers reach his potential he will easily be better than lee is. only thing lee will probably have on him is defense.

    There is no homerism on Clee rjt-he is one of those role players great teams need ....that article was also someone else's I was replying to I also did not look @ his link bc I watched rivers play here and there - he was just an overrated NCAA player that had a dad coaching n the L so he was a "great good guy for face time on TV" cough CBS cough Sportscenter (who actually has a ton of UNC grads or they used too, so surprising they gave him the "Bristol treatment"

    QUOTE=jtr;6878969]I did not bother clicking on that link. I could smell the homerism. You should investigate the analysis of nbadraft and draft express if you have not already done so.[/QUOTE]

    Ummmm do you watch ball Clee can play O shoot the ball way better than rivers ever will, oh and he plays some lock down D espesh since ya know he only started in the finals with a center who could only dunk at that point of Dwight's career. Clee is good people need to realize the guy wil be a winner for life he plays all out!
