Talib Kweli & Jean Grae - Where Ya Gonna Run

"Ten years deep and my tenure's still deep / my bad I don't like when phrases repeat"

One of the illest verses from any female MC. Shoutout to MC Lyte and the rest.

Anyways, here's a quick rundown of the top 10 picks of the NBA Draft and where I see them in 3 years..

1. LA Clippers - Blake Griffin

Critics are quick to point out that Griffin is a little undersized (lol) to be a full fledged PF, but anyone who's seen him play in college you would disagree. Blake is nothing short of an athletic BEAST who will outmuscle and outhustle anyone in the NBA.. think of an athletic Tyler Hansbrough with a little bit of an outside game. If Chuck could average a double double, Grif can do the same. A-

2. Memph Grizzlies - Hasheem Thabeet

Thin version of Mutombo. Should be an amazing shot blocker but I think he'll need to put on some muscle and develop some type of offensive game to be a good center. B-

3. OK City - James Harden

Solid pick. Will put up points in the NBA, but I think the Thunder would have preferred a true big man to complement Durant. Might regret not trading down. B

4. Sacramento Kings - Tyreke Evans

I'm a big fan of Evans. He will have no problem scoring in the NBA will his athleticism and skill set. If he can be efficient in the NBA and limit bad shots + turnovers he may well be the best player in the draft. A

5./6. Minnesota Timberwolves - Ricky Rubio/Jonny Flynn

Not much the T-wolves could do here given that their two main targets (Tyreke & Thabeet) where already gone. There are serious questions about Rubio's size and outside shooting and the T-wolves will probably end up dealing him sooner rather than later. I'm a big fan of Jonny Flynn--he's got the complete package as a PG. Overall, B+

7. Golden State Warriors - Stephen Curry

Great 3 pt shooting and passing. Plenty of hype. Solid pick I guess. B+

8. NY Knicks - Jordan Hill

All signs point to an athletic forward who can run the floor and put up some points--just what D'Antoni needs in his offense. A-

9. Toronto Raptors - DeMar DeRozan

Hustle and flow + athleticism. B+

10. Milwaukee Bucks - Brandon Jennings

Swag (lol). Jennings is carrying a chip on his shoulder for being picked after Rubio. I think he has all the makings of a solid pg if he can keep his head on straight. A-
