I'm not really concerned with our point guard situation: Duhon passes, can knock down an open shot and, every once in a while, get a layup, in traffic. You can do better, but that's not very important, at this stage. For years, we played with Ward and Childs, and we were competitive. Those guys aren't half of what Duhon is, but we were winning. If you want a championship, you might have to get someone better; but, then again, the Lakers were winning titles with Ron Harper at the point.
What we truly need is a competent center. Pau Gasol would have been ideal, but Isiah was only offering Malik Rose and Nate Robinson. Brook Lopez is already a good center, with a lot of upside; but, we let him go for Gallinari. It's over and done with, but we should still pursue a center, in this year's draft. I doubt there's anyone as good as Lopez in there, but we should get the best possible big that we can. We definitely need two guards: a point and a shooting guard; but a center has to be our focus, when it comes to the draft.
Ricky Rubio should definitely not be an option for this team. We've already dipped into the pool of Euro talent, let someone else take him. If we choose to blow our draft pick on a point guard, who won't make us a competitive team in the short run (only rookie point that's done that is Paul), I'd rather take Lawson, whoever he is: an NCAA player, than roll the dice on a guy that's unproven and hyped up on his performance in a 16 and under league.
