He already is a really good shooter and can be a play maker for Al Thornton, Brand, and Kaman. He can play point and shooting guard filling in two needs.
They also got a potential No. 1 pick in DeAndre Jordan, if he can learn the game.
Mike Taylor is an NBA-ready point guard also since he played in the D-League last year, while putting up promising numbers.
Overall the Clippers look like they are headed back to the playoffs.
Bucks—Loser: Getting Richard Jefferson was a good move. Jefferson can play small foward next to Redd and put this team back to the playoffs.
They took Joe Alexander and Mbah a Moute who both play the same position. I do not understand why, but they did.
Darrel Arthur or even a Brook Lopez to go next to Bogut would have worked. Alexander is a one hit wonder who will not do anything in the league.
The Bucks took a step forward with Jefferson, then one step back again with their draft.
Bobcats—Loser (?): What was Jordan thinking? Kwame then Adam Morrison and now DJ Augustine with Alexis Ajinca?
Jordan needs to stick to Hanes commercials. Raymond Felton was showing signs of being a solid point guard in the league and now they took a point guard?
Brook Lopez was the most perfect fit for them. Emeka Okafur needed a player that would make him move to the four-spot while Lopez would have been the big man to take control of the paint.
The back court is already really talented and with Lopez they would have had a scary team next season. Ajinca averaged five points and five boards overseas! He is nowhere near ready and they made a huge mistake.
Jordan will be on his way out if this does not work.
Nets—Winner: No one look away from the Nets.
They got a back court of Harris and Carter with a group of talented young players. Yi Jianlian (aquired for Jefferson) is a player who can spread the floor and be a scorer for them at the three-spot.
Ryan Anderson can do the same off the bench. Boone, Kristic, and Williams are all solid front court players, but Brook Lopez is the big body they needed.
He handled the college level and will make his way to be one of best big-men in the league.
With a steal in CDR, the Nets bench is also now really good. The Nets are going to be a playoff team and a contender for the LeBron sweepstakes in 2010.
Indiana—Winner: The team is rebuilding and there is no better way than to get Brandon Rush and Roy Hibbert.
These are two NBA-ready players who can fit well with Dunleavy and Granger. Larry Bird did a great job here.
TJ Ford is as good as a point guard in the NBA as anyone else when healthy. They are definitely headed to being a contender in the near future.
Kings—Winner: I know you might think I'm crazy, but Jason Thompson is going to be a legit NBA player.
He has all the tools to being an effective PF next to Miller or Hawes. Singletary can be a solid back-up in the NBA and Patrick Ewing Jr. can be a similar player to Carl Landry by coming off the bench and sparking this team.
