2010-2011 NBA Season and Playoffs Thread

i heard rumors of thompson being in play at 4 earlier, but that was still when charlotte had the 9 and 19, and they were gonna hope valanciunas fell to them at 9... then it would be a jonas and 19 swap for thompson. i wonder if thats still perhaps in play with the 7 and 9, and perhaps varejao being involved.

[Hammer]

valanciunas to toronto. not so much of a shocker, because we were all expecting him to go 4th... with him being available again, toronto probably jumped on it.

[Hammer]

yikes that toronto lineup is horrifying.

[Hammer]

vesely to washington... no shocker here. another athlete for wall to throw alley oops to. washington mightve tipped their hand on this one, when they invited czech republic constituents to the draft.

[Hammer]

i guess biyombo here to charlotte.

[Hammer]

and thats precisely who it is.

detroit on the clock... wouldnt be surprised to see this picks rights be moved.

[Hammer]

brandon knight to detroit. i think its a great pick if they keep him... and it still might leave open the option of a trade.

charlotte back on the clock too... kawhi leonard, marcus morris, kemba walker or chris singleton? im going with leonard

[Hammer]

knight: "i did my homework on them a bit, i didnt have the chance to work out for them..."

not very often do you draft a guy you didnt scout. granted, detroit probably never expected knight to fall to them, but i think a trade might still be in play here.

Okafor did not carry his team like Walker, I don't recall Okafor making a GW shot at all that season, like what Walker the whole year, unlike Irving which some say disrupted his teams rhythm when returning to play.

The concept of game winning shots is overrated. Do points scored in the late 4th quarter count more than the points scored before that? Of course not. The point is the draftniks were comfortable with Okafor's accomplishments to tab him as the potential #1 pick.

Yeah but the problem is we are in the 2011 NBA draft not the 2010 draft. And in other words your
Implying that Kyrie Irving's senior year in HS> Walker or Williams college year, which I think is shitty way of evaluating players.

That is in no way what I was implying. Leo's last post was what I was getting at.

[Hammer]

and kembas going to charlotte.

milwaukee picking for sacto here... do you think theyve been taught how to jimmer?

[Hammer]

jimmer ! everyone loves jimmer, and jimmer loves everyone and everything. except defense.

golden state at 11... no secret jerry west loves klay thompson.

[Hammer]

no shocker there... utah at 12. alec burks seems likely.

[Hammer]

and no shocker there either.

phoenix at 13 it gets a little more interesting, especially with robin lopez trade rumors rampant. one of the morrises, leonard, singleton, hamilton? gonna go with leonard.

[Hammer]

uh oh mark jackson interview. he could go right through the next 2 or 3 picks.

[Hammer]

and its markieff going before marcus, to phoenix.

could marcus be up next to houston?
