Gordon is a great shooter who I think will be pretty good pro. He gives the Clippers a nice scoring guard to match with one of last year’s top rookies Al Thornton.
8. Milwaukee Bucks – Joe Alexander, Forward, West Virginia
Here comes the most overrated player in the entire draft. It blows my mind that this guy has moved up this far. You hear over and over again about his athleticism. Who cares? Gerald Green is a great athlete; look at what he has become.
Alexander had one good season in college, and that was because he played primarily the four and could run over smaller, less athletic players. In the NBA he’ll be a three, and he wasn’t a good three in college, why would be in the pros?
Another poor pick by the Bucks.
9. Charlotte Bobcats – Russell Westbrook, Guard, UCLA
After working out with the Bobcats, Westbrook suddenly canceled the rest of his workouts. This leads me to believe that he was guaranteed to be selected here.
10. New Jersey Nets – Jerryd Bayless, Guard, Arizona
Bayless has an enormous chip on his shoulder and he’ll tell anyone that will listen that he’s better than advertised.
Arizona had a poor season, but I have to think that if Lute Olsen were coaching the team things would have been different. I originally had him going at No. 4 to Seattle, but the Mayo domino effect has him sliding all the way down to 10.
11. Indiana Pacers – Kosta Koufos, Center, Ohio State
This guy has flown up the charts, and had the Pacers not traded for T.J. Ford they probably wouldn’t be drafting him here. Koufos is a little raw, but he’s played great in international competitions and if he can develop a back to the basket game, he’ll be a decent NBA center.
12. Sacramento Kings – D.J. Augustin, Guard, Texas
