Fucking stupid ass Clippers. How do you not put any protection on that pick? I mean Mo Williams and Jamario Moon for a number one pick? Way to go Los Angeles. So who are feeling at the fifth pick? Irving, Williams, Kanter will likely be gone by the time we pick. I'm kinda leaning towards Brandon Knight. Good size, penetrating point guard. Better than an undersized chucker or unknown Euro?
Don't really have any preference at five. I would be ok with whoever, including the Euro tweener bigs. There might not be too many teams interested in trading for it so it would seem we're stuck picking someone we're lukewarm on. Odds are Ed Davis at 13 will be better than whoever we take this year at five. I agree, Brandon Knight seems like the right pick at the moment. He isn't a great shooter and turns the ball over too much but that is the reality of this draft. At least we don't need him to start.
