    Mayo is ranked too high. No way he'll go top 5 anymore.

      Because he's been getting paid since 9th grade? I fail to see what impact that'd have on a (sane) GM. Maybe Portland 2005 doesn't pick him because of it. But most teams (rightfully) care more about any drug charges than NCAA eligibility and runners.

    No way anyone passes on him because he took money. If anything they will pass on him because his shot selection is poor, and there are PG's with the same scoring ability but better passing ability available.

     Heard rumor that Heat want mayo though, so Riles may try to trade down to get him and a couple of decent players on the side.

    Interesting mock. As a Clips fan I hope they go for Russ Westbrook; not a big fan of Texas players in general.

    Clippers are pretty big up front with Brand back, Kaman, Thomas. But they do need more bigs off the bench.

     They got lots of combo guards and SF's.

    The Suns should do okay in this draft. I hope they get a decent player, or move their pick to get some immediate help.  A coach would be nice too! Lol

    I hope the Clippers can pull off this rumored deal to somehow get Mayo. I am nervous that Livingston will never be the same once he's back on the court.  They need a PG for the future.
