yep the other best part about them is that they update their listings quickly (removed saric already)and they try to match drafted players with teams needs outside of the lottery where everyone is looking for an impact player so its more whose the best.

Who should the Clips draft in the first round, IWMTB?
Or should they just trade out of the draft...

Withey, Dieng, or McGary.
They won't pick high enough for McGary. McGary will go late lotto.
No need to think. Young is a better athlete than Shabazz. Shabazz is a below the rim player with below average quickness.

so many centers in this draft and so many teams needing centers I have a feeling some real good players are going to slide into the end of the first round.

He's 21, has had one good month of college basketball, and may not be athletic enough to be a starter in the NBA though.

maybe they can get arsalan kazemi so lawler and the other guy can make racist remarks about how he looks like borat's younger brother

Recognize Dieng, but I don't know anything about the other two players.
Meh.

I really like Dieng, he's raw but seems to already have a passable jumper. Knicks need another defensive big who can hit a jumpshot.
He's big, strong, moves well laterally, and skilled. He can also be a 5 in the NBA. He's going lotto in this crap draft. He can't block shots at all though, but protecting the paint has never been about getting 2 blocks a game like most people think.

Withey is a huge, shotblocking center. Great rim protector, lacking in other areas.
McGary could be a pick-and-roll or pick-and-pop scoring center and that could fit well with CP3.
Each guy will probably end up a bench player, but they have starter potential.
I guess he could end up going in the lottery and really I guess all of those guys could go in the lottery but those are the only guys ESPN and DX has in the Clippers' range that I have an opinion on and like other than Giannis Adetokunbo and I doubt the Clippers need that long term of a project.

Thanks, IWMTB.
I must say, looking forward to the draft just isn't exciting anymore.

That's because your team isn't getting the first pick.

Picking between Chandler and LMA would depend on who else is on the roster. If it's a blank roster and the first spot has to go to either LMA or Chandler. I'd go with Chandler.
Bet between myself and Adam.
Last month is the only month that Eric Gordon outscored OJ Mayo.
He already lost the big bet though. I have his avatar rights for the whole offseason.
I'd rather have Chandler as my 1 dimensional defensive anchor than have to depend on LMA's betamax ass as the #2 man.

That jpg has the same amount of rings as Ewing, so, your comparison is right I guess.
ew why
he's my favorite steaming pile of rotted twice digested compost.
how do you put rings on a jpg. that sounds like something clovis would try to do.
Nope.

walked right into that one....
It's moderately racist. I'd like to know why there are no black people or any other kind of minority on that team for one.

Just read this weekends' posts
Lot of asshatery by Laker-age going on right now
Curious how they keep talking about that Spurs matchup when they aren't even going to make the playoffs lol

There is one. ... And because it is Alpine. Maybe the 2nd whitest place next to Konex's face after a Kobe game winner.
I was mainly trolling. I doubt that the coach purposefully rejected minority players who applied to the team.
As for that story, I don't think it's racist as much as pointing out the fact that the team is breaking stereotypes. Simply mentioning race and the stereotypes regarding that race aren't the same as pigeon-holing people into that stereotype. Similar to a piece on Jeremy Lin mentioning he's Asian.
1) "This All White Team from Utah is breaking all kinds of stereotypes by being ranked #1 in the nation and by playing a Showtime Style of Basketball"
Vs.
2) "This All White Team from Arkansas is dead last in the State's Power Rankings. But looking at the team, it's what you would expect"
#2 is racist. #1 is slightly sorta racist, but it's more just a story that includes obvious racial components and challenges prevalent stereotypes in the basketball community. That's my take on it anyway.

On what planet is LaMarcus better than Chandler?
I would also probably take a young, ultra-talented point guard over an inefficient, plodding, jump shooting 4.
That's like saying Dirk Nowitzki is nothing but a badass Ryan Anderson
fixed for accuracy
