Do any of you think it could be Jason Richardson, not Joe Johnson, that 
falls down to Boston at #10. Maybe he'll be this year's surprise Paul 
Pierce guy. Richardson did get outplayed and shutdown by Richard Jefferson 
in his most high-profile game of the year. This is what NBATalk said about 
JR, not that one can read all that much into it:

(Shane Battier) reportedly bested Michigan State guard Jason Richardson in 
the Atlanta Hawks "Superman" test -- where players basically continue to 
dunk the ball until they can't get off the ground any more. And at the NBA 
physicals, Battier scored highest on the lateral agility test. "People 
checked their watches and said, "Is that right?' '' Battier said. "I'm not 
the sloth that I'm sometimes made out to be. I do have some athletic 
ability. Obviously, I'm not a Vince Carter or a Kobe Bryant, but I'm 
athletic enough to get the job done."
