If you had #1 pick in NBA draft, who do you take?

Chi_archie · 03-23-10, 12:37 PM

i'd take Turner too prob

but that might be because I hate wall with a passion....

it you look back to a similar choice in the draft two years ago.... Rose vs Beasely

Beasley had way better overall numbers, was bigger, ect...

so far Rose easily looks like the better pick

ngates815 · 03-23-10, 12:39 PM

Depends on what team gets the #1 and what they need for their team.

Evan Turner will be like Tyreke in the League, he can be a bigger PG or a 2 guard.

ohh and Chitown produces the best Ball players around.

coloradobuff · 03-23-10, 01:07 PM

I think turner is safer pick as well.

Yi · 03-23-10, 01:58 PM

I would choose John Wall because he has the "it" factor.

Ralphie1412 · 03-23-10, 02:06 PM

Im really interested to see how John Wall fairs in the NBA. I think he could be a BEAST if he stayed in school for one more year.

whatsgood5 · 03-23-10, 02:14 PM

I'd take Wall at one, and Turner at two.

AnotherLoan · 03-23-10, 02:15 PM

Wall will be a bust. Turner is the safe pick or maybe Omar Samhas from St. Mary's.

iceminers26 · 03-23-10, 03:06 PM

Ronald Moore is the best guard in the draft, forget Turner and Wall, especially Wall who could be the all time bust.

Tree Rollins · 03-23-10, 03:11 PM

You have to take John Wall, you just have to. He has more potential then anyone in this draft.

rm18 · 03-23-10, 03:19 PM

Hassan Whiteside

FrozenMAN · 03-23-10, 03:21 PM

john wall is total trash, evan turner is a royal stud and would certainly be my #1...i'd even take aminu over wall cause he's got size and can body bang and stroke it from 15' and in

Brock Landers · 03-23-10, 03:24 PM

Wall is the trendy pick, no way i'd take him #1, Evan Turner can do it all, he will probably go back to OSU if they don't win the title though

rm18 · 03-23-10, 03:30 PM

Doubt Turner goes back to school, like Aminu also reminds me a lot of Scottie Pippen, where Wall reminds me of Derrick Rose at best.

jayroy25 · 03-23-10, 03:45 PM

i am a sixers fan and we have 2 young guards already so i would have to say cousins. brand gettin old and dalembert can suk a dik

Tree Rollins · 03-23-10, 04:05 PM

Evan Turner is a better college player right now. He's also in his 3rd year of college. Wall has super elite quickness and athleticism, has shown a penchant for crunch time scoring, hitting big shot after big shot, and his game translate easily to the next level.

Not taking John Wall with the 1st pick would be stupid. Don't over-think it.

ProfaneReality · 03-23-10, 04:13 PM

I like Turner RIGHT NOW over wall.. but I saw a scouts comments and thought it was interesting.. they said if you draft Wall and he is a miss, you have a Derrek Rose. If you draft Turner and you miss, you have Larry Hughes.

seaborneq · 03-23-10, 04:30 PM

John Wall is in the exact same situation that LSU's Chris Jackson was in 20 years ago. Damn, I can't believe it has been 20 years. Too good for college but not ready for the pros. Wall will get taken to school in the pros. I see a very poor man's AI. A lot of wild and exciting shots/no championships

Lumpy81 · 03-23-10, 05:18 PM

Wall for sure..

PAULYPOKER · 03-23-10, 05:20 PM

I wouldn't I would just go steal Curry from the Warriors

Junkyard Dog · 03-23-10, 05:20 PM

favors...upside is huge

TJHotpicks · 03-23-10, 05:20 PM

I would take KU teammate Cousins. Much more of an upside to this guy than Wall or Turner.

BurtRapp · 03-23-10, 05:28 PM

I like the kid from Oklahoma State. My sleepers that I would love to take on my team would be Ebanks from WVA and Stevenson from Cincy!!!!

HoulihansTX · 03-23-10, 05:33 PM

Everyone is outsmarting themselves.

John Wall, and if Utah ends up getting the top pick, as they have Knicks #1 pick this year, I would still take him.

BurtRapp · 03-23-10, 05:35 PM

The 3 players I mentioned are NBA ready right now. If Wall went to Utah he wouldn't see much playing time. IMO Wall needs to mature.

newjerseydevils · 03-23-10, 05:36 PM

ALI FAROKMANESHHHHH!!!! love saying that name........rolls right offa the tongue

We're talking about the first pick in the draft. You're talking about Devin Ebanks and Lance Stephenson, who's name you can't even spell.

jjgold · 03-23-10, 05:44 PM

I do not think any impact players this year coming out

John Wall too me just does not look dominant enough to change an nba team

Guys 6-8 above is what NBA looks for

tealish · 03-23-10, 05:46 PM

Turner. And I don't think it should be that tough a choice.

There are a lot of NBA ready players. If you drafted on who is most nba ready, then Emeka Okafor would have went over Dwight Howard. And that's why Greg Oden went over Kevin Durant. Unfortunately, there are guys like you out there, and they have input on who gets drafted, and that's why so many teams continue to suck and are in the lottery year after year.

Tree Rollins · 03-23-10, 05:56 PM

I understand why people like Turner so much. i think a lot of you guys are big college basketball fans, and Evan Turner has had one hell of a college basketball season. The NBA game is so different though. John Wall has been a huge huge impact player on one of the best teams in the country all year, as a freshman, with the ball in his hands constantly, and with as much hype and attention and pressure as a college freshman could have, and all he has done is lead his team to a number 1 ranking for most of the season and lost 1 game. All the while being the teams emotional leader and taking over in crunch time, time after time. You don't see college freshman do what John Wall has done at the end of big games all season. Carrying his team and hitting huge shot after huge shot. It doesn't really happen, and when it does you have someone special.

S.K.M. · 03-23-10, 06:07 PM

In all seriousness John Wall is the #1 pick. Only a fool would think otherwise. He has intangibles that cannot be measured like huge testicles. Farokhmanesh is #2. Whoever said Wall won't get playing time is confused. This is the NBA not the NFL. Teenagers can easily start or play significant roles in the NBA. Wall is much more ready than most young guys. Did someone say Omar Samhan
