Why no Rivers for the Bulls? Just no defense and too much need for the ball, I suppose

Here's my knock on Rivers. He thinks he's Kobe. He's not. He doesn't have the length, the height, nor the athletic ability. Take those things away from Kobe, and he's Ricky Davis — an irritating ball hog no one wants to play with and who isn't good enough to warrant the diva act...

Lillard is a willing passer. Rivers isn't and will never be. Lillard made dramatic improvements from year to year. I thought Rivers was the exact player in college that he was in high school. Lillard is a team player. He was the second most efficient player in college basketball DESPITE being the only decent player on his entire roster; teams game planned to stop him and him alone every night. I just don't see Rivers ever being anywhere near as unselfish or efficient. I think Rivers will be shocked at the athleticism and length at his position. He'll try to do the same things at which he excelled in high school, spend a lot of time on the bench, get into it with his coach and teammates, get traded in a year or two to a desperate team, put up huge numbers for a cellar-dweller for a year or two, make some money, and eventually, teams will realize he can't be the alpha dog on a winning team.

Drummond is sick at 9.

Yep. Crazy size and athleticism. Even if he's DeAndre Jordan 2.0, that's pretty good value at 9. If by some miracle he figures it out, Detroit becomes scary. If you drafted based on YouTube highlights, he'd go #2.

I really don't get why you take Austin Rivers if you already have Eric Gordon.

They think Gordon will walk?

I think the picks are getting too late now to make it worth moving Deng for one.
