What is Leandro Barbosa worth in the draft?
Fanster.com — ... What is Leandro Barbosa worth in this year's draft? LB may have been picked 28th in 2003, but the former sixth man of the year shot 44% from the arc last year and has a relatively cheap contract.  Rumors from AZCentral are that he and Diaw are up for grabs in order to secure a second round draft pick.

"I think there's a lot of people that would move down because the draft is deep, but it's not necessarily top heavy," Griffin said. "If you're picking (high), you may think you can get the same guy at 13 or ...
