		<description>You are overestimating what Curry did against good teams

44 against Oklahoma (Elite 8 team)
29 against Duke
26 against St. Mary&#039;s
44 against NC State
27 against WVa

his only subpar game against decent competition was 13 vs Purdue

and unless you have watched him play, you can&#039;t just assume that the only reason why he averaged 5.6 assists is because &quot;he was probably kicking it out of double and triple teams&quot; .  . . the guy passes the ball ahead in transition ; he finds the open guys - for the talent that was around him, I don&#039;t know how he racked up that many assists.  He was the ONLY option they had last year - the guy is a point guard - you have to see him in aaction to judge that.  Again, from what Ive seen form BOTH players, his point guard ability superceded the PG ability of RW.  

  And as far as Rubio is concerned, I put him at #3 due to all the off court nonsense . . . I wish he would just stop it - either you&#039;re playing in the NBA or you aren&#039;t . . . it didnt bug me a few weeks ago, but I can&#039;t stand this &quot;picking my team&quot; (see Kobe Bryant, Eli Manning) garbage . . .</description>

I&#039;m guessing there&#039;s no way I can get you to move Rubio over Curry?

I definitely moved Curry up on my board. I think his height is what did it for me. I was under the impression Curry was around 6&#039;0. I pegged him as an Iverson. He definitely proved that wrong being 6&#039;3.

My number one concern with Curry is his defense.

-All the major moves we made last year were for defensive purposes (Drafting Westbrook, DJ White and Weaver; bringing in Thabo). I know we need offense, but at what expense? If we have a 1 that can&#039;t guard it&#039;s only going to allow more people in the paint.

I put Rubio above Curry because I think Rubio will ultimately be a better PG then Curry.

-I think Curry has a shoot first mentality. I don&#039;t see anything other then that from him. I would bet most of his assists last year came from kicking out of double/triple teams. I just don&#039;t put his PG abilities over Rubio. 

I understand the argument would be that he has awful teammates and he still found a way to average 5.6 (also averaged 3.0 turnovers). I just think you also have to factor in the talent he played against. 

I have NO doubt he&#039;ll be able to score at the next level, and I bet he&#039;ll be able to run a fast paced offense. I just don&#039;t see his PG specialties fitting our team. Or his PG abilities being enough to bump him over Rubio.</description>

As Joe said, Bayless isn&#039;t even close to being worth the third pick. He doesn&#039;t fit any of our needs. He&#039;s too small to defend the 2, and has never been much of a distributer. Maybe if Portland wants to give up something along the lines of Fernandez and Przybilla, then we could talk. But none of their backups are going to buy Curry or Harden out from under us.</description>

		<description>Bayless wasn&#039;t really mentioned in that first tier of players last year. It was OJ Mayo and Beasley and Rose. Then the second tier seemed to be Gordon, Bayless, Westbrook, Love etc; depending on who you liked. Bayless isn&#039;t quite as good a shooter as Gordon, and not quite as good a PG as Westbrook was expected to be. A true tweener. Much like a Jeff Teague in this draft. 

But I was keeping an eye on him because Presti never tipped his hand. The point is that there is no way we trade our #3 for only Bayless. They would have to give up much more than that.</description>

		<description>call me crazy but the blazers want Curry and if we trade our draft pick for Jerred Bayless..... it might work becuase Bayless isn&#039;t a point guard he is reported to be a Ben Gordon type of player with great athleiticism. I am pretty sure last year everyone thought that we were going to pick him but passed to take Westbrook.</description>
