I'm Brian Weber please be joined by fox sports -- senior basketball writer Jeff Goodman Jeff the NBA draft coming up there's lots of talk about Spanish point guard Ricky rubio but he seems to be -- work out.
What the latest on the at a station well.
It it is interesting because people have them all over the board within the top five or six spots and he did bail out on the on the worked out with Sacramento's -- number four because of an illness earlier in the week. But I I still think that's going to be his destination at the end of the debt and Sacramento and each of Oklahoma City could take -- three and he'd actually be pretty good compliment to Russell Westbrook who's not really -- natural point guard great athletes and to me it's one of those where. He could really make Westbrook Kevin Durant Jeff -- a lot better. But I think he and applying to work and going to Sacramento at the end of the --
Besides rubio there are plenty of talented point guards available if you weren't NBA GM who would you top three point guards --
Loved Jonny -- And then I've seen him play for years I just think he's got the whole package and always a little bit on the smaller and the most to the point guards really in this draft are are six you know 6162. -- I would go to Johnny win. Jeff -- guy to me the most underrated. You know player in this whole draft and I can't believe he'll get out the top twelve or fifteen picks I would go with him number two and in -- at number three because of his shooting ability and I think he's got better court vision of people I give him credit for but it will be a learning process for stepped curry at the next level playing in the point full time defending the position he's got the audit team to meet with some talent around him. Him if you put him out there and he doesn't happen opera and it's going to be -- them do at all self.
Yep -- Lakers is going to play agrees but he still eligible for the NBA draft what do you think about his strategy.
I don't understand it. You know he's told me for years how he's always wanted to play in the NBA I don't think it's ultimately it's really his decision I think it's more somebody -- maybe his father. He's got three Karadzic -- to -- going to make a lot of money to play increase this year I still think he could be drafted that he. Did the latter portion of the first -- fourteen that maybe has to -- and doesn't really want to pay him this year pick him. You know album. Playing grease make the money problem kind of work of his game a comeback over. I think he's a really you know really good player I just don't understand this whole mindset of of going over decrease when you could be a first round pick of playing in the NBA he did not. Grow up wanted to play agrees to grow up wanted to play in the NBA so again and I kept out of what he's doing this.
Jeff we see many lottery balls in the past looking at the board this year other a few players that you think could have bust written all over them.
Yet Jordan -- one that immediately goes to ideas. I don't know he's got to minimize and he's. -- great athlete he. He's -- good -- I just don't know he's going to be a great player the next level DeJuan Blair another one would turn toward -- Yeltsin questions surrounding his knees -- help that is it is I think he's going to end up slipping a third guy I've not been -- who you know maybe a second contract a couple of years from now. To do yourself in the right now you know -- drop in all potential and when you do that. You're not getting anything out of that first contract demands somebody may take a moment in the second deal there was three guys that are I really would be hesitant taking two in this year's draft.
