    Should be the first pick in the draft. If I was a GM, he would be #1 on my board. If Lawson comes out, he may go second, getting a good point guard is the popular pick in the NBA now.
    but Griffin is the truth imo.

    I'd take Griffin if I had the #1 pick in a heartbeat.


    I doubt Lawson will be a top ten pick and if anyone is picked before Griffin it will be Rubio.

    You really think Lawson will fall that far? I have not seen any projections or anything but he looks like he could be a great PG in the NBA. Teams are always looking for the rare true PG prospect. I see him joining the ranks of Derron Williams, Chris Paul, and Nash one day.

    He has always been graded as a 20-30th pick type of guy but his stock will move up since he has developed his three point shooting.

    However, its not really what I think but there are a lot of point/combo guards in this draft and they will probably go ahead of Lawson...most of whom will never be good.

    Brandon Jennings
    Tyreke Evans
    Steph Curry
    Rubio

    Exactly the point I was trying to make, despite his size, the guy has the speed and skills to be a great point guard in the NBA.

    not surprised and should be the number 1 pick unless some foreign player overtakes him but I would take him number 1 and would trade up to get him. Meeks left as well

    I dont see Meeks doing all that well in the NBA. He isnt a great shooter and is erratic at times.

    Could be wrong on both but I compare his situation to that of Tebow's. Great college player but will that translate to the NBA. I don't think it will but he might be a useful role player coming off the bench in the future.
