I have no doubt. He has a feel for the game like few other players I have ever seen. If Rubio comes to the NBA he will be a star. I have no doubt.

I think we need another big like Griffin, Mullens or Thabeet. Way to early for that though, there is still time to turn this around and make a respectable showing.

If you are in the bottom 1/3rd in the NBA you simply cannot afford to waste lottery picks like they're going out of style, which the Clippers have been doing for years. When you go back the last 5 years all the Clippers have to show for draft-wise is Kaman, Thornton and Paul Davis (and now this year's rookies). That is a horrible, horrible ratio. When you compare that to the Lakers who turned their only recent lottery pick into Bynum, picked up solid youngsters like Farmar, Vujacic, Walton and Turiaf between 25 and 40, and turned other picks like Cook, Crittenton and Marc Gasol into Pau Gasol and Trevor Ariza without touching any of their rotation players you can see why that franchise is at the top and the Clippers are once again at the very bottom. Smart decisions have consequences. Stupid decisions definitely have consequences. Livingston instead of Harris and Korolev instead of Granger is the main reason why we are where we are.

AGAIN? The last thing this team needs is another player that will take 3-4 years to develop. The West is getting WEAK. With the right moves, a number of teams can take a jump. (Not that I trust Dunleavy to make those moves) Seriously.

We need to make players like Alston and Head take contestant shots and stay on em at all times and wear em out. We need defense on our backcourt though that’s also been our main issue as well.
