Westbrook is probably the fastest-rising prospect in the draft. He could go as high as #6 to the Knikcs. There isn't a chance in this world, barring him bartering stolen laptops for dope, that he lasts until #21. People are comparing him to Monta Ellis.

The 10th pick is one of the best trade assets for the Nets this off-season, so I would prefer it if they tried to use it in a trade for a talented big man that can create shots for himself and others, rebound the ball and hopefully defend or at least not be a terrible liability. Brand is an obvious choice for trying to get an established big man. Love could be a target in the draft to move up to acquire. I think this is the top priority this off-season. Once they get that big man (hopefully Brand) then they can start building around him with role players that can defend and shoot. Guys like Rush and Chalmers in the draft fit that mold. Daniel Gibson in free agency as a backup guard would be great. Anthony Parker in a trade would work. They would all spread the floor for a big like Brand, and Carter as well, who would find them for open jumpshots.

Marcus will make <span style="font-family:ARIAL"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:100%"><span style="font-family:ARIAL"><span style="font-family:Verdana Arial Helvetica sans-serif">$1,262,520 this year. The 15th pick will make approximately</span></span></span></span> $1.3 million to $1.4 million on the rookie scale AND they take on a signed Boki, who would be a couple million dollars. Yea, they value money over first rounders, and that point would be valid if we were talking about trading them cash for their pick. But we're not.
Also, another positive about Hickson. He fouled out of 0 games this year, averaging just under 2 PF's per game. He knows how to stay outta foul trouble.

i didnt really follow ucla last season but if hes being compared to monte... omg i love monte ellis... hes so fluid and smooth on the court and lightin fast... but wouldnt it be too small to have harris and westbrook as a 1-2 combo? whos goin to guard a tall SG like a kobe, or a wade? bout an AI.... FROM PHILLY! or even a ray allen... also to take into consideration lets say we do take westbrook and hes pans out really well and its the last 5 mins of the game and you want your best players in it would be : harris westbrook carter jefferson boone would that lineup be able to close it out? cuz u have jefferson playin the 4 or even carter playin the 4....
