2009 Draft

Thabeet would have gone undrafted, Blake Griffin would still be first pick since the Clippers still have Baron Davis, Eric Gordon

thabeet would probably go late lottery like 10-15.

I do think tyreke would go second after blake, but you could flip that either way.

DC would go lottery as well.

i could then see Memphis taking a point guard and then in ’10 going big

ie.

09 draft
Jennings, Curry or Collison
then 2nd round Budinger

10 draft
Patterson and Whiteside

Depth then

09 pick – Conley
Mayo – Allen
Gay – Budinger
Randolph – Patterson
Gasol – Whiteside

If the 2009 NBA draft was redone than I still think Blake would go #1 overall due to his potential. Maybe Jennings would, but Blake will be great. Here’s the top 10 picks redone:

Clippers- Blake Griffin. Still has potential to be a superstar even after the injury.
Memphis- Brandon Jennings. Toss up between Jennings and Evans. I’d say Jennings since he’s a PG.
OKC- Tyreke Evans. Evans to OKC would be amazing. Harden’s not bad, but Evans really, really good.
Sacramento- Stephen Curry. Another great guard in this draft. Curry/Evans both work.
Minnesota- Darren Collison. 12 PPG behind Paul.
Minnesota- DeJuan Blair. Maybe a little high, but he’ll be a double double guy with more minutes.
Golden State- Wesley Matthews. I don’t know if Rubio would sign in GS so Matthews is the safer pick.
NYK- Ricky Rubio. He probably wouldn’t come over for any lottery team except the NYK.
Toronto- Jonny Flynn. 3rd best PG in a PG heavy draft.
Milwaukee- James Harden. He hasn’t played up to his potential, but I expect him to bounce back.

jrue holiday would be ahead of a few those guys. He’ll be better then flyn, mathews and blair, probably harden and rubio as well

Evans to OKC wouldn’t be that good, I don’t think him and Westbrook can play together.

Curry Would’ve Been Picked By The Thunder ..

Curry would go to OKC, he’d fit much much better than Evans

is everyone seriously giving up on Thabeat after 1 tough rookie season??? he still has ALOT of room to grow

I think it would go like:
1) Griffin – Clippers
2) Tyreke – Memphis (already have good shooter in OJ, plus pg would be their greatest need)
3) Curry – OKC (good fit next to westbrook)
4) BJennings – Sac (too good to pass up, plus would need pg)
5) Rubio – Min (Kahn would wet himself to the thought of getting Rubio again)

Darren Collison would forsure be a mid ottery pick, slightly higher than Jrue. only because he has proved more then Jrue up to now.
Thabeet would be a late lottery pick, solely because you cant teach height
