Chad Ford now has us taking Rivers -- Mock Draft 8.0

From the article:
Analysis: We've had Jared Sullinger here the past few weeks. But just as he was working out in New Orleans, NBA team doctors were reviewing the physicals from the NBA draft combine. As we reported on Monday, Sullinger's physical had a number of team docs skittish.
If Sullinger isn't the guy, there is no obvious direction for the Hornets to go next. You could make the case for a dozen players. So why Rivers? He checks off a lot of boxes (perimeter scorer, shooter, star quality) that the Hornets are looking for and gives them some insurance should Eric Gordon get too expensive as a restricted free agent this summer.

What are you confused about?

Lol I seriously hope no one actually pays for ESPN Insider. Seems like he just randomly changes up the order each week.

What's with the ?
That actually makes a lot of sense. I am leaning towards Meyers Leonard if Lillard and Drummond are off the board, but I wouldn't be shocked if they picked Rivers.

The pick very well could be Rivers, but I wouldn't overreact to Sullinger's medical red flag just yet. Apparently this happens more often than we think and this is probably a leak by a team that wants Sullinger- maybe even the Hornets... 
Obviously we have no idea what the report says, we'll just have to see if and how far Sullinger falls. Most mocks have him in the mid to late lottery.

If Waiters and Lillard are off the board then I hope Rivers is the pick.

I think rivers will be one of the best players from this draft if he gets stronger at the next level. He can shoot the rock and hardly anyone can handle the rock like him. He just needs to become a better finisher.
