“We just unloaded 2000 plus words of the latest draft talk on our NBA Draft Blog today. We covered the DeMarcus Cousins-Derrick Favors workout in Sacramento and gave the latest updates on what the Wizards, Sixers, Nets, Timberwolves and Kings were all up to.

One of the more surprising themes from early mock drafts is Ekpe Udoh at selection number eight to the Clippers. After giving it some thought however, the logic behind that mock selection makes sense. Although the Clippers have three big men on contract (Griffin, Kaman, Jordan), the fact remains that one has never played a minute in the NBA, the other is incredibly injury prone, and the third is still very, very raw. The Clippers can safely head into this draft with a best-player-available strategy as opposed to drafting for need, because really, when you only have five players on contract, you technically need everything.
