Whoever they pick will turn into the next Olowakandi!

But seriously, congrats and I hope it works out for them.

In my eyes E.Gor and Blake will make a great Clipper future.. much more promising than in previous years...

Mike D is proficient at drafting and making moves... I just hate his fourth quarter coaching....


Mikes latest drafting: Eric Gordon, Al Thornton, DeAndre Jordan, Chris Kaman, Mike Taylor...

Not a bad bunch... I dont think he should be evaluated solely by what was Baylors doing... like ol' Olowakandi

keep dunleavy as GM, but seriously - lose this dude as head coach. i also think eric gordon and blake griffin would make a great team for many years to come. this clippers team has so much talent, if they can stay healthy and benefit from some strong coaching that fits that roster, they could make a serious run in playoffs in the coming years. but, there is always something about that old clipper curse that just seems to weigh them down year after year one way or another.

that's not a bad idea... they have alot of young guys now and packaging that pic to a team like the spurs could net you a pretty nice player if done properly... not saying the spurs have anything to offer, just thinking of a team like them that's in desperate need of some fresh legs...

i hate to say it, but i feel bad for anyone who gets drafted to the clipps... it is a dysfunctional organization who has gone through a lot of talent over the years but has never been able to sustain. almost the polar opposite of the lakers organization.

Clippers have a way of sapping potential out of their players. Elite prospects become soso. The worst organization in sports is lucky to have a #1 pick unfortunately once he arrives its all but over until they are released.

Blake Griffin or Ricky Rubio. Who do you take.

Im taking Ricky Rubio.

Something in my gut says Griffin is not going to be a superstar. Or even a semi star.

+1,

players with much potential talent but never fulfills the expectations.... whatwere they thinking by choosing the "candy man." clippers as a organization is just flat out horrible.
