    Probobly the best pick in the draft

    Holliday was projected to go in the top 7 alot of places

    Similar in alot of way's to Rajon Rondo, but propobly not as much of a true point as Rondo. He can play SG too

    this is from yahoo....

    This isn't to bash UCLA, a premier program with a great coach. But why Holiday ever went there is a baffling. He's a point guard who had to play shooting guard (out of position) because the Bruins already had a starter. Had he gone somewhere else (every school wanted him) he could've started and probably would've been a higher pick, which based on the fact he left after his freshman year was clearly his only goal in college. Very well may be a steal at this spot.

    I was arguing with a dude today about who the Cavs seven footer was.

    Is it a European roubounder or not?

    It was briefly mentioned on ESPN of who Amare could be traded for, and the Warriors would be giving up way to much for just one player who might only play there for one year.

    The T-Wolves drafting Rubio & Flynn, nice combo. Hansborough to my Pacers, sounds okay.

    Isn't Flynn moving into SG in the pro's? I love the Rubio pick for them, he is an amazing player and if he does come over the T'Wolves potentially have an All-Star at point,

    No way Flynn is a SG

    Rubio will get traded because he doesnt want to play there and he can go back to Spain.

    My guess is he will be a Knick soon
