Obviously impossible to predict the future.

im surprised they didnt do the trade with cleveland that was rumored their 2nd and 31st for the 4th 24th and 33rd. could have got their guy at 4th anyways and got another late first round pick. i do think its a mistake not to have moved down to get him.

i didnt see his face i personally thought he was a good fit for them.

barnes goes to gstate. kinda fell short of the hype at unc, but i like the pick, especially for the warriors.

He is a good fit for Portland. Portland hasn't had a great PG in ages. PG has been a major hole on this team for a long time now. They've swung and missed on the last two PG's they've drafted, Telfair and Bayless.

Harrison Barnes is a solid pick. GSW clean up again.

thetrinity · 06-28-12, 07:13 PM

this is where its gona get really interesting, the raptors mite take dick vitale or brittany grenier.

Speedy88 · 06-28-12, 07:14 PM

GS makes the playoffs next year as long as injuries don't decimate them. Bogut and Curry need to stay healthy.

k13 · 06-28-12, 07:15 PM

Barnes is a good pick.

His stock kind of dropped.

Killed at the combine.

thetrinity · 06-28-12, 07:16 PM

only pick so far im really questioning is waiters at 4, also im surprised charlotte didnt go down to get gilchrist, i guess cleveland bailed on the deal and figured beal wasnt worth it.

thetrinity · 06-28-12, 07:17 PM

reach imo by the raptors.

Speedy88 · 06-28-12, 07:17 PM

Congrats TRoss. Him and Derozan on the wings will be fun to watch.

NYSportsGuy210 · 06-28-12, 07:19 PM

Dude Waiters can ball. He looks NBA ready already.

thetrinity · 06-28-12, 07:21 PM

its hard to say but you would think that toronto could have moved down to get him. decent player but its a bit too high for him.

while frans orgasming over this euro this is a good time to mention that the euro crop is super weak this season.

nobody had him in the top 5 and they take him 4th. hes about 4-5 spots too high.

MKG going to be a bust. Horrible #2 pick, shows how bad this draft is.

Beal is nothing special either and I'm a Florida fan.

You must not watch college basketball??? MKG and Beal are both going to be ballers. Washington just got really, really good. Beal is the real deal. Are you sure you're a Florida fan?

thetrinity · 06-28-12, 07:25 PM

drummond goes to detroit. im not really sold on this guy myself. i guess rivers will go to the hornets at 10.

thetrinity · 06-28-12, 07:27 PM

usually i think duke players are going to be busts, but i have a hard time seeing rivers failing.

thetrinity · 06-28-12, 07:36 PM

meyers leonard 11th, i dont like this pick really.

Speedy88 · 06-28-12, 07:36 PM

I don't like Portland's draft. I think they drafted too much on need rather than overall talent.

They won't be "ballers".

These guys would be mid-round picks normally.

#3 picks are Jordan, Mchale, Dominique, Penny, Stackhouse, Grant Hill, Melo, D. Williams.

These guys are like Todd Day.

thetrinity · 06-28-12, 07:47 PM

i think lillard could be a smarter russell westbrook, dont like the leonard pick at all.

liked lamb from uconn at 12 to the rockets.

thetrinity · 06-28-12, 07:56 PM

tar heels go back to back 13 and 14, marshall to suns, henson to milwaukee, about right for both guys IMO, starting to get into get lucky territory. im out tho guys, might be back a bit later on. guys i like the most that are left are nicholson, moultrie, royce white and the uk guys, except terrence jones, think hes a little overrated.

Rockets with a stud draft so far.

K13 - MKG has a motor that won't quit. The kid brings winning wherever he goes. Beal has been compared to Ray Allen, pure shooter.

Give it time. These guys will probably be better than Stackhouse, Penny and maybe Hill. Kinda hard to be as good as HOFers Jordan and Mchale.

Waiters and Zeller to the Cavs. Less than thrilled but hoping for the best

Speedy88 · 06-28-12, 09:51 PM

Draymond Green should have a solid NBA career. He reminds me A LOT of Brandon Bass.

Cav's front office sucks dick. Always have and always will. They get it wrong more times than they get it right. Name me a player the Cav's got that was any good in the draft that wasn't a #1 overall pick???

I'm a Cavs fan but Grant is as awful as Ferry and Paxson were. Drafting shit players that don't last. Hickson, Eyenga, Justin Harper, Boobie Gibson, Luke Jackson, Dasagna Flop, Trajan Langdon, etc., etc... PUKE

bb_skoots · 06-28-12, 10:46 PM

^^^ yup

NYSportsGuy210 · 06-29-12, 03:43 AM

J.J. Hickson isn't that bad actually. Boobie Gibson had promise...I just odn't think he has gotten an opportunity as of late.

JJ Hickson isn't that bad?? Are you serious? The Cav's thought he would turn into something enough that they wouldn't trade him when the Suns wanted him for Stoudemire. Then October 2011 after realizing that he was trash the Cavs trade him for Omri Casspi (garbage also) and a 1st round pick to the Kings. Fast forward 5 months later and the Kings waive his sorry ass.

1st round big bust... Cav's and Kings incompetence exposed.

To be fair here Stoudemire never received any of the kind of reassurance that he was looking for from Lebron that he would stay.
