NBA Draft Thread

Isiah is a moron as usual. Channing Frye? C'mon. Knicks could have used a guy who can block shots in Bynum.

I am just glad Bynum is not going to UConn.

11th pick Magic select Fran Vazquez

Clippers on the clock.

12th pick Clippers select Yaroslav Korolev.

Bobcats on the clock.

Cool my Bobcats got two good picks! And they are from where the Bobcats play lol.

Really like what the Bobcats did. They have atleast 3 NCAA Champions now, not sure if anyone else on that team won any.

Also really like what the Nuggets did getting Jack and Hodge. Both will contribute right away.

26th pick the Pistons select Jason Maxiell.

This is a suprise.

[Providence A's]

did anyone pick the the guy from Providence College? He pulled out of last year's draft and returned to PC because he wasn't going to be picked

My school (University of Rhode Island) had cool t-shirts that said "Friends don't let friends go to PC" (Providence College).

[awefullspellare]

Yep definitely. Now looks like the Nuggets MIGHT trade Jack to the Blazers for 27 and 35, likely guys who will be developing as we have alot of talent that is ready now and could develop.

27 is Linas Kleiza. Never heard of the guy even though he played Nebraska twice. Forward/Center so he would definetly sit alot at first if he becomes a Nugget behind Camby, Nene, and K-Mart.

Ryan Gomes hasn't been chosen yet.

I love the Celtics pick.

[Justin]

The Celts got a great pick in Gerald Green.

Final pick of first round 30th Knicks select David Lee. Couldn't see him being a first round pick.

The ATL Hawks get the 1st pick of the 2nd round 31st overall.

What was the most suprising pick of the first round.

I think the Raptors shouldn't have got Villuenueva.

[awefullspellare]

Celtics pick was solid. They have a lot of good young guys.

Really like Salim going to Atlanta. Wish he coulda been a Nugget but after Jack and Julius we weren't looking to get him.

Villiuenueva is a good choice for most surprising.

[Justin]

Lakers select two players Ronay Turiaf and Von Wafer

40th pick Warriors select Monta Ellis

Raptors on the clock.

TRADE:
DEN gets Linas Kleiza and Ricky Sanchez

POR gets Jarrett Jack

[awefullspellare]

Those two will get time to develop, we will see how they do. We have enough people.

[ATLien]

I was really hoping Atlanta was going to get Jack via a trade up, but Portland beat them to the punch. I LOVE the Marvin Williams pick, he is going to be a stud. I can very easily envision Marvin Williams and Josh Smith as the top wing duo in the NBA in three years from now. I'm not ga-ga over Salim, but he is a shooter which is rare to find nowadays. He is not a point guard, though.

I'm disappointed to see so many lottery teams draft need over BPA, which results in playoff teams getting absolute steals. The rich keep getting richer.

Ryan Gomes to add to Green. Wow, good going Ainge. Ainge did say that if Gomes dropped to #50, he'd be a steal, and he lived up to his word.
