    For an agent to cancel workouts makes me think either:
    1. His client will look bad in workouts and will have a better chance of being drafted high by staying the heck away from a teams critical analysis
    2. There is a team that promised to take him, the agent and player thinks the team and city would be a great fit for endorsements, playing time, style of play and role on the team so they aren’t interested in going a couple of spots higher.

    This draft is crazy and this is exactly why I love this forum. So many different opinions and point of view. A Drummond/Waiters draft would be a complete failure if you ask me.

    If we don't trade up I'd like to end the draft with two players: Harrison Barnes/MKG (whomever falls) and Dion Waiters with an eye on signing Dragic.

    But I still think the priority should be acquiring that #2 pick for T-Rob.

    Alright--let's start with 6. Davis, Robinson, Beal, Barnes, and MKG are gone. Who do you take?

    Taking Davis out of the equation, who would be your favorite possible 6th and 11th picks -- that is, guys that have at least a reasonable chance of being available at each spot (eg. Barnes, Lilliard, MKG, Beal, Drummond, etc. at 6 and guys like T and P Jones, Henson, Marshall, Ross, Waiters, Rivers, etc. at 11th).

    I really wonder how far Marshall might drop. Far enough to buy a pick and get him in addition to 2 other guys. If we didnt get Lillard that sure would be nice to get say Drummond, Rivers and Marshall. That is a little bit of everything that we need, lots of talent and some high upside too. I still think I would rather have Lillard but those 3 would be a nice too.

    The Soup Juggler alonr would piss me off, but drafting him after we drafted Lillard would make no sense

    SSGOTF (Shrimpy Shooting Guard Of The Future) - draft both, keep one, trade the other with Matthews for a tall black man.

    Can you imagine Lillard starting at the 1 and Waiters starting at the 2 as rookies? Oh the fun this forum would have!
