		<description>Getting Chandler was huge for the Thunder. We already have a great young 3 to build around with Durant, Green, and Westbrook. Now we add TC to mix and the future looks bright. Anybody that thinks Tyson Chandler is overrated doesn&#039;t know basketball. The guy is a straight up difference maker, and he&#039;s a big reason why the Hornets were so good last year. The way I see it, we were just reclaiming a piece of our own property when we brought Tyson back. We bought him for the Hornets in the first place, along with Peja. We deserve alot of credit for that team making tremendous strides.......us and some guy called CP3 of course. Obviously, it&#039;s gonna be a tough adjustment at first for Chandler becuz he was in such a great situation playing with Paul and West, but there&#039;s no way that playing with Durant, Green, and Westbrook won&#039;t put a smile on his face soon enough. He already knows that he&#039;ll have a chance to be a part of something special here too. Besides, he and Chris Paul will be reunited in a couple of years anyway. Welcome home TC....CP3, we&#039;ll see you soon buddy.</description>

		<description>Hey guys!

Im just a spaniard who weirdly ended in this page. 

Just wanted to tell you that, although Ricky Rubio is really great, it is widely known in Spain hes not moving until, at least, 2010.

See you!</description>

		<description>&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-2198&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;@Matt &lt;/a&gt; 
Good points (oops, no pun intended), especially on Teague and Curry. I&#039;d be happy with either of those guys.  I&#039;m not sure about Rubio, but that&#039;s mostly because he&#039;s young and from all reports a brash leader, and I wonder about the chemistry with our guys.  Also, is he actually going to be available this year? 

I guess if we&#039;re going all-out run&amp;gun then Curry or Teague would be optimal, but I still think Collison would be good value, especially if he&#039;s still around towards the end of the 1st round.  He is a super smart player who can take over at the end of games if necessary and gets to the line, along with playing a little defense.</description>

		<description>Pretty much, here are the PGs of interest in this draft for us.

Rubio- He&#039;s a pure point from Spain, who made a bit of a name for himself with his inspired play against Team USA as a 17 year old in the Olympics. Still needs to develop physically, but who doesn&#039;t at 17? He&#039;s the leader in the clubhouse to be the first point off the board.

Jrue Holiday- I&#039;ll be honest, I&#039;ve watched a lot of this kid and I&#039;m not very high on him. He strikes me as a poor man&#039;s Russell Westbrook, whom I ADORED in college. I think he&#039;ll probably take another year of seasoning before he comes out. Not a big fan of college guards who don&#039;t average double digits at the top of the first round.

Jeff Teague- I really like his fit for this team. He&#039;s a winner, just like the core 3 stars on the team. He makes big shots. He&#039;s something of a tweener at the point, but then again, so is Westbrook. I don&#039;t really view the Thunder as ever really being run by a &quot;true point guard&quot; so to speak. Between Teague, Westbrook, Durant and Green, there will always be more than enough ball handling and decision making on the floor. He fits in with the ultra-athletic core of the Thunder very well.

Steph Curry- While I am slightly hesitant about him, the emphasis is on SLIGHTLY. I view him as a nearly perfect fit for the offense. He&#039;s capable of playing the point, as he&#039;s showed this season at Davidson. (Assists doubled from 2.9 to 5.8 this season, a very nice mark from a college guard who LEADS THE COUNTRY in scoring.) However, we also know that he is incredibly comfortable off the ball, and certainly won&#039;t mind sharing ballhandling opportunities with Russell. This is important, because I think Westbrook needs the ball in his hands a bit to be as effective as he can be. Curry&#039;s jumper, as anyone who has ever seen him can attest to is simply........BUTTER! When Curry, Westbrook, Durant and Green are all on the court, the team will be sporting 4 extremely dangerous threats from 3 point land (as Westbrook&#039;s shot continues to develop). It will be nearly impossible to guard. Yes, Curry will be something of a defensive liability, but he&#039;s actually got very quick hands, and will cause some steals. We should also have lockdown defenders manning the other 4 spots on the court, so I&#039;m not sure just how huge of a problem this would be.</description>

Ricky Rubio is a much better PG prospect than Jennings, imo. As long as we&#039;re outside the top 2 picks, I don&#039;t think anyone would question his value at that point of the draft. He&#039;s actually reasonable even at #2, only if we win the lottery would I be deterred from drafting him.</description>
