    From ESPN Insider:

    Obviously this was written before the massive trade KP just pulled off to move up two spots, but I think I'd be pretty darn pleased with an option to pick between these three guys... wouldn't you all be?

    In order:

    --Teague
    --Maynor
    --Casspi

    I'm a big Maynor fan but If Teague slipped this far you have to take him.

    I've been a big Teague fan for a while, still not sure we need another PG though

    Why not?

    Blake is a journeyman player. Sergio has flashes of brilliance once in a while but isn't going to be a starter in this league. Bayless is a SG trying to learn to be an NBA PG and that's a daunting task. It could be done, but the odds are against him. If either of the two PG's above have potential to be NBA material at their natural position, then give them a shot. It sure as hell isn't a step down.

    Care to list the entire first round? If you just give the NAMES, it should be "fair use".

    1. Griffin
    2. Thabeet
    3. Rubio
    4. Evans
    5. Harden
    6. Curry
    7. Hill
    8. Holiday
    9. DeRozan
    10. Flynn
    11. T.Williams
    12. Henderson
    13. Blair
    14. Clark
    15. Daye
    16. J.Johnson
    17. Lawson
    18. Mullens
    19. Jennings
    20. Hansbrough
    21. Young
    22. Teague
    23. Casspi
    24. Maynor
    25. Budinger
    26. T.Davis
    27. Summers
    28. Jerebko
    29. Collison
    30. D.Brown

    Much slippage of a few PGs (Jennings, Teague, Maynor) with guys like Daye and Mullens going in the teens.

    This seems reasonable to me... or at least pretty probable, given how important size is in the draft.

    The thing about the Kings and Casspi and "needing toughness"---they've got 4 years of Andres Nocioni locked up at the SF spot at 8M per. How much more "toughness" do you need at the SF? If anything, they need to trade us Spencer Hawes and the #4 for Joel--and we'll take Udrih's contract.

    That would be quite the draft for the Wolves...

    and its completely reasonable, I still think Harden goes to OKC whether they draft him or trade down to get him

    Well, the Kings want Flynn and Casspi: we trade for the #10, take Flynn there, and trade Flynn and Casspi to the Kings for the #4 (Rubio/Curry) and some salary they want to dump (maybe including Nocioni).

    Works for me!

    6.2 has a couple differences

    Off the top, they have Rubio 3 to OKC, Harden/Curry to MIN, Holiday to NYK, Flynn dropping to MIL at 10.

    Then I skipped to 22 (Casspi to us), Teague at 24 and Brockman (!) at 25 to OKC and Calathes 26 to CHI.

    I seriously doubt Casspi will be in our training camp. It would also be surprising to pass of Teague for Casspi if we are keeping the pick.

    If we draft Casspi it will be to stash him for another year, I'd bet.
