considering the entire comments were posted in the OPs link, you're not missing much. The only thing that was missing was the name of the pick which has already been floating around in his last mock. It's a big man.

I just meant I thought it was obvious that I meant "at PG" when I said start him and just let him sink or swim.

That makes a difference though because 1) they aren't out of the blue which is how everyone was taking them at first, and 2) it says that the team probably isn't looking to draft a PG.

Blame that on RealGM shadiness for posting word for word from an insider article with the lack of citation.

Seems like he said a bit more than that:

quote:

- Chad Ford’s latest mock draft is full of some juicy tidbits. First, he states that the Pelicans “have not given up on Austin Rivers.” Well, duh. Who thought they had? But Ford takes it a step further and says that the Pelicans will likely not bite on a point guard in the draft because they seem happy with what they have at the point. Second, he says that people inside the organization see Anthony Davis as a 4 long term, meaning there is a need for a center (can’t we wait for Pekovic?!). So, with that in mind, Ford has us selecting Alex Len even though all three point guards (Burke, McCollum, and MCW) were on the board in his mock.

And they are opinions to justify the pick. They aren't necessarily facts. Those comments are called "analysis" for a reason.
