    Who would you rather have, if they were both coming out of college at the same time. Blake looks... REALLY, REALLY freakin' good. Like Karl Malone good. But more athletic. Damn. Hard call.

    I know different positions and we have LMA. But I dunno. LMA at center and Blake at power forward looks pretty damn good. Maybe even Blake at center and LMA stay at 4. Blake is a damn beast and will be better then Horford for sure.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Blake Griffin isn't anywhere near as good a prospect, IMO, as Oden, Durant, Rose or Beasley. If Rubio doesn't enter the draft, this draft will have a pretty weak top end.

    If you could have Jessica Alba or Eva Mendes, which one would you take? Oh wait, it doesn't fucking matter because it's not going to happen either way!!! Same goes for this thread so why does it exist?

    That's actually a good one, yennie...Obviously you'd think Alba based on looks, skills and that she's not even in her prime yet (while Eva's on the downside of here career, evidenced by the +/- drops from "training Day" to "hitch".

    Then again, Alba's got that "Derek Jeter gave me herpes" thing, so that cancels out a lot of goodwill.

    I'll take Keira Knightley for the win, Alex!

    I watched a bit of a game the other day and Greg Monroe was displaying some of that explosiveness I was hoping to see more out of Oden.

    I almost posted a "Which Greg" or "We drafted the wrong Greg" thread.

    Don't get me wrong. Oden is far from a bust. But given the hype and his performance in college, his NBA career has been underwhelming. I know, he's coming off of injury, but that doesn't change the mindset.
