    ESPN has a mock draft generator that lets you keep recalculating the draft. The bobcats generally have a top three pick and every time the seem to get Chris Paul. Once they had 1 and 3 and took Paul and Williams.

    Aleksandrov is a common pick for us with our second lottery pick, assuming it does not get really high.

    With that pick, there's a 0.6% chance that the Cleveland pick will be the #1 pick. Then there's a GOOD chance the other Charlotte pick is top 3. If somehow the Clevelend pick ends up top 3, the Bobcats are sitting pretty.

    The Cleveland pick can be 1, 2, 3, 13 or 14. The only way it can be 14 is if the TWolves move into the top 3.

    So, no one is bothered by the idea of picking a PG that is maybe 5'10", weighs 180 - again, maybe - if he has a lot of bling on, and can't keep from punching another player in an important tournament?

    Well I was thinking he was 6ft, but that doesn't bother me if he can play point. I mean if Iverson can do what he does day in and day out, I don't see why Paul couldn't.

    Now the last part would concern me. It shouldn't be accepted under any circumstances. I don't know if that is a sign of things to come with his character or not, but I guess time will tell.

    I'm bothered by it, but not any more than a 7' white guy from Utah or a 6'9 player who hasn't been a proven starter.

    This draft doesn't have any can't miss prospects going in, which is why the Top three players drafted could go in any order, depending on the team who gets number 1.

    Every top player in this draft has questions. Paul bothers me less than the others, character issues aside.

    Just occurred to me, Hakim Warrick at #13 would not be a bad consolation prize to missing out on Williams.

    Would you rather have a Chris Paul/Hakim Warrick draft or a Marvin Williams/Raymond Felton/Jarrett Jack (moving up from what I hear) draft?

    Its gonna be an interesting night. Here's hoping for a Paul/Williams miracle :ylsuper:
