Definitely an interesting scenario if Lawson is taken top 15, and Jennings is still on board.  To me, the choice then is between Brandon Jennings or Wayne Ellington, followed by Eric Mayner.  With Brandon it’s so hard to tell as 99% of us are relying on vague youtube video clips of him in Italy, and columnists and GM opinions.

Mayner would be the obvious solid choice…if we went direction of backup SG to bring up, Ellington should be automatic.  But Jennings…MAN he looks impressive in clips of games Ive actually seen…improving outside shot, ridiculous ball handling, absurd quickness and 1st step, and playing in Italy against pros with great IQ’s should help his basketball maturity, and overall maturity, more then the average college player I’d imagine.

There’s also the question whether we’d want an ultra young guy like the 19 year old Jennings…or just “youth” where it’s a 21 year old college vet like Lawson, Mayner and Ellington.  I cannot wait until tomorrow to see how this pans out.

Should also be mentioned that Reggie Miller has mentioned on the Dan Patrick show he feels either J Jack or TJ Ford will be traded, and that the Pacers will be drafting a PG.  Youd have to think there is at least the possibility this could be more then just speculation and opinion, given Reggie’s ties to the Pacers and the fact he might have some inside info.

About Redd, I would probably rather have Ellington, but if it gets rid of Sam…

Actually, I think I’d prefer that Charlotte rumor for Vlad & Nazr.  The rumor features a possible pick swap between 12 & 17, but with the Bobcats in love with T-Williams, I would settle for a 2nd this year and the right to swap 1sts over the next couple years.

J.A Adande and Chad Ford keep saying time and time again that anyone who passes up on Ty Lawson is making a huge mistake.  He fits like a glove in an uptempo style, which is what our beloved Sixers are. 

Also, there is another rumor on the RealGM board with the Sixers inquiring about Michael Redd, using Sam and either Lou or Green.

Earlier today (yesterday), word from Philly had the Sixers in talks with the Charlotte Bobcats, sending C Samuel Dalembert and the 17th overall pick in the Thursday’s draft for F Vladimir Radmanovic, C Nazr Mohammed, and the 12th pick in the draft.

But when we checked in with ESPN.com’s Marc Stein, he said his sources say the rumor doesn’t have any legs. At least not yet.

A hang-up might be that the deal doesn’t do much for the Philly cap situation, and a jump to No. 12 from No. 17 is a mystery for value in a draft that still is loaded with questions even in the No. 2 to No. 7 range.

Harden is a good player.  And a smart player with skill.  I like guys like that other athletes.  Tired of hearing this guy is an athlete and that guy is not athletic. 

Which guy actually can play basketball and knows the game?  Don’t hear that very often now.  Tired of leapers and runners.  I want shooters, passers, ball-handlers, smart players, leaders and winners.
