UCLA guard Jrue Holiday is hoping to be the first overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft.
"I'm shooting for No. 1 to be honest," Holiday told The New Post. "I'm definitely shooting for the sky."
The Clippers have publicly stated that they will use the No. 1 pick on Oklahoma forward Blake Griffin.

Tyler Hansbrough doesn't care where he is drafted next month, and feels he has a lot of doubters to prove wrong.
"Doubt me all you want, but I think I have a lot to prove," Hansbrough told the Associated Press.
He averaged 20.3 points and 8.6 rebounds in his career at North Carolina, and many have projected him a middle first-round pick.
"I'm not worried about it," Hansbrough said. "It's just a bunch of people saying whatever they want. I think I'll prove a lot of people wrong.
"They kind of doubted me in high school and said I wouldn't be a good college player. I'll bet a lot of people wouldn't have thought I would have wound up being the ACC all-time leading scorer. They can doubt me or whatever, but I got the job done and won a national championship."

Ty Lawson hasn't been drawing much positive interest at the NBA's combine in Chicago.
"Injury prone," one assistant general manager told DraftExpress.com of Lawson.
"A backup point guard ... he's 100% behind Jonny Flynn," another NBA representative told the site.
Lawson is currently projected as a mid-first round pick, and RealGM's Christopher Reina has him slotted at the 15th pick in his latest mock draft.
