A little high IMO, but I wonder which team told him they'd pick him?  Raptors maybe?

Portland, maybe? He and Matthews would be an intriguing back court.

As long as the sixers don't get him that's fine. That would be wrong.

Hope for their sake it's not Toronto. They'll be bitterly disappointed taking him at 8.

Austin Rivers and Eric Gordon would be a nice backcourt.

Anthony Davis and Emeka Okafor up front with Carl Landry as a sixth man. Still have Trevor Ariza, Jarrett Jack (to be traded) and Greivis Vasquez. Nice little team they'd have there.

Also be a pretty good replacement for Lou Williams in Philadelphia.

Not the lottery but first pick outside it.

The rumor says "late lotttery", so I expect it would be a team drafting 10-14, if true.
