Celtic ratings are horrible, and when interest perked against Indy, Pierce had a meltdown.
The consensus is they have gone as far as they can with Paul. |

How does the Jack to Portland trade make any sense for the Blazers?

I think Charlotte did a good job getting those two UNC guys, especially off successful years. The team is figuring they can market them well and get butts into the seats. Plus, with Okafor - another proven winner in college - they've got a nice core for themselves there, with a team that overacheived last season. I like those picks, though they could've been more "daring" maybe.

Anybody seen this Jason Maxiell kid play at all at Cincy? He has the look of a beast for Detroit, a place where Big Ben managed to get his game together, as well as Rip Hamilton. So he fits the caricature of the type of player they like to bring into the fold.
Certainly better than say, a Darko. I wonder if they'll try to demote Darko to the NBDL next year, since they can do that with players in their first two years. Or because he's in year 3, he won't be able to go..

That Antonie Wright kid for the Nets looks like he could be the scorer they've been missing the past few years. Now if they could deal Kidd. I was thinking before I wanted him to stay around as a floor general. But he's gonna keep getting hurt and broken down and someone would get him, especially since his stock is up and all. I think he'd be worth dealing and getting a young player and a pick or so.

I think Garcia will be a decent NBA player, especially in Sacto where he'll get to shoot.

Did Tony Parker consult in this draft? The Spurs picked another French player.

I only saw him in the NCAA Tournament, but he impressed me - seemed like a pretty good passer and a deadly shooter. Not a great defender, but with effort he could be reasonable in a team defense scheme. I was hoping the Sonics would get him... |

He's an older player - already 23 - has the New York pedigree and has a good basketball IQ. I think that his lackluster play during parts of college, was really boredom with the hum-drum of the college game. Getting paid tends to change some players and I think that the right system matters for a lot of guys, especially in today's NBA. He ought to standout. This is one of the better drafts in years. It allows us to focus on all the players, rather than just 1 or 2 huge stars at the top. Should be fun to see how pans out vs. who doesn't.

But hey, the Knicks will get 5'9" Nate Robinson, who could be a fan favourite in NYC after a few years. The guy has game, short or not.

I don't like Maxiell going to the Pistons, I'd rather him have gone to somewhere like Charlotte were he could get get minutes. If Brown stays he will not play.

As for Jack to Portland, it didn't make much sense for Denver to keep him either. Is Lenard a free agent? If not, they now have Boykins, Miller, Johnson, Lenard, and Hodge in a logjam at 1 and 2. I'm not to happy with Houston selecting Head either, as they also have a ton of guards (Sura, James, Wesley, Barry, McGrady....). I'm glad to see my other team Boston getting the steal of the draft in Gerald Green. He just looks like he can be an absolute stud. I love the draft where I can speculate on how poorly the NBA GMs do. Last edited by korme : 06-28-2005 at 09:54 PM. |

Looks like Phoenix just got their replacement for Q - if the rumored trade of Q and Nate Robinson for Thomas and the 54th is accurate.

The only team whose draft I truly HATE was Toronto's. I may have chosen one guy over another but at least I can understand the thought process. Even after hearing Rob Babcock explain himself, I STILL have no clue what they were thinking.

On the bright side, this kid looks like one of the top ten, maybe top 25 players to come out of high school this year and forego their college careers. If he produces just half of what Kwame did... ...um, is Darko available in a trade? |

I LOOOVED the Celtics Draft! Green was a great gift, especially since they were strongly considering taking Gomes at 18 (who they ended up getting at 50). Don't know much about Orien Greene but in Danny Ainge I trust.

I saw Orien Greene play a lot in college. He is an animal on defense. He was a pretty good offensive threat in the Sun Belt Conference but I don't think he'll provide much offensively at the NBA level. Mainly a very athletic defensive specialist guard. Dunno if that'll be enough to make the team but we'll see. |

woohoo Tar Heels If I ever watch the NBA again, I'd be a Bobcats fan even before this draft just because of proximity, but now, I might actually watch a few Bobcats games if I can over the next few years.
Other than that... Portland confuses me, as do all the underclassmen who come out just to be low 1st round or 2nd round picks. And any high school kid that isn't a lock for the lottery needs to go to college, or JC, or something. |

With the plethora of decent players the wizards have, why take a safe, decent player in the second round here. Might as well take a gamble, swing for the fences guy with the 49th pick - beats doing so with #1. Now, if the Bullez had a top 5 pick again, I bet they would take a more proven commodity.

I had the point guards rated: Paul, Felton, Jack, Williams. I think Utah will regret that pick. I saw Williams play quite a bit, and he's definitely NOT the reason Illinois was so good - he's ok, but I'll be surprised if he's not a huge disappointment to the Jazz.

I think you are putting the wrong emphasis on the PG's. You seen to list them on how explosive they can be and how much they can score, which is not Williams strength. He seems much more apt at leading a team and controlling the offense.

An odd comment since he didn't really control Illinois' offense, at least not most of the time. He was basically their defensive point guard, not their primary ball-handler - that job was split more or less evenly between Williams, Brown, and Head. |

What do you guys think or what is said about the 11th overal pick, F.Vazquez To Orlando? is he known there? are the fans happy? I'm curious as of course in Spain that are really big news as it's not usual to have a Spanish guy drafted (apart from Gasol and Raul Lopez).

that what the la radio sports talk shows are saying. the lakers will probably have to add another player like deveon george because has one year contract left and that will give toronto some more cap room next season. and at the same time get rid of jalen rose contract. |

They are not going to happen this year. This year, in a special one-time provision in the new CBA, teams get to waive one player. They have to pay him, but get back the cap and luxury tax. Rose is almost certainly going to be one of those players.
