Been wondering that too, but I'm pretty sure the Spurs coaching and front office has got it figured out.

RainMaker · 06-25-2009, 09:57 PM

I still don't get the T-Wolves draft. Why not just take Rubio and Curry and let them play? You'd have a nice young core with Love, Jefferson, Curry, and Rubio.

CU Tiger · 06-25-2009, 09:58 PM

And he is ACTUALLY here tonight.....LOL

DeToxRox · 06-25-2009, 09:58 PM

And Kenny Holland makes the Pistons second 2nd round pick.

Schmidty · 06-25-2009, 09:59 PM

3 SFs in a row??? Ugh.

I think the chances that Curry busts are pretty high to be honest. Id compare him to Reddick who hasnt done much. At the best I could see him have a career like his dad as a top 6th man.

I don't know. I think he's a little overated but he's got a lot of ability to score. He was constantly playing against defenses completely set for him and still scored at will. Reminds me a bit of Ben Gordon if he can add some strength.

Atocep · 06-25-2009, 10:03 PM

Sounds like the Pistons drafted an awesome guy...

Quote:

Summary: Jun 12 Update: Jerebko antagonized a few GMs when he showed up at the Reebok Eurocamp last Sunday and refused to play, telling me he was "too tired" to play after his team was jettisoned from the playoffs last Wednesday. However, he did play on Monday and looked really impressive according to the handful of NBA guys still there. ,p> However, the word now, from his agents, is that Jerebko is refusing to work out for teams looking at him in the second round. Multiple teams told me that his agents are telling them that he won't slip out of the first round.

jbergey22 · 06-25-2009, 10:03 PM

Memphis is having one hell of a draft.

k0ruptr · 06-25-2009, 10:05 PM

Meeks to the Bucks aint bad either.

Perhaps. Hes a hard one to judge. I mean a lot of times he would just dribble down the court and pop from 27 feet. Hes not shy thats for sure. Whether or not he can tone his style down and be effective against bigger/faster defenders is difficult to know.

Meh.

I don't care if he's a dick. If he can play, I'll take him. Look at Rasheed.

Of course, I have no idea if he's any good.

Well he was against box + 1 defenses constantly. It'll be interesting to see how he plays when he's being covered man-to-man. I think he has more upside than a lot of the guys in the draft and it would have been worth it for Minnesota to take a shot at him.

The thing with the box + 1 is he didnt really work through the defense he just shot from further out. I would have liked to have seen more patience and creating from him rather than chucking bombs outside the box + 1. Sure he didnt have much talent around him but .......

k0ruptr · 06-25-2009, 10:13 PM

Wasn't Thornton high on some draft boards for a while?

jbergey22 · 06-25-2009, 10:13 PM

Why is Dick V talking about college players in the NBA? Didnt he get canned as an NBA coach?

Schmidty · 06-25-2009, 10:14 PM

I really hate Dickie V.

k0ruptr · 06-25-2009, 10:15 PM

And now budinger to the Pistons...Not sure about fitting in that system, but this far into the draft why not

He'll never see that in the NBA though.

Dola, YAY another PG to the wolves. this one is pretty good value though me thinks: Nick Calathes

Young Drachma · 06-25-2009, 10:19 PM

Just got home from work and a show in town, so just catching up. Interesting stuff that went on. James Johnson is a steal for the Bulls. Austin Daye is a huge reach.

RainMaker · 06-25-2009, 10:20 PM

You know a pick is bad when the highlights for the guy you drafted is 50% him dancing on the sidelines.

Young Drachma · 06-25-2009, 10:21 PM

Curry to Golden State seems like a bad fit to me off hand. I like the trade the Nets made, even though Rafer Alston is spotty, Lee is a good young player.

jbergey22 · 06-25-2009, 10:22 PM

Here comes PG#5 for Minny

k0ruptr · 06-25-2009, 10:23 PM

lol.. Budinger got traded to the Rockets

I actually think Knicks/Warriors are the two best fits for Curry. Athough dont the Warriors have 5 shooting guards already?

Patty Mills FTW

RainMaker · 06-25-2009, 10:25 PM

I think New Jersey was freeing up cap room to make a run at Lebron in 2010. Still think they are an untalked about dark horse in the sweepstakes. They'll be in Brooklyn by 2011 and unlike the Knicks, will have some talent to surround him with. They'll change their name to the Brooklyn Ballers and would allow Lebron to be a historic figure for a team with no history.

Agreed. When I heard Patty Mills came out early, I was truly confused. Maybe he was bored with college after playing international ball and figures that he can always go back to Australia and play for eucalyptus if things don't work out here.

I can only imagine how confused he makes the guys he plays against.

Yeah, that's probably true.

I actually just watched some YouTube vids on him, and he actually looks pretty damned good. But where do they play him? SF is packed and he's got Rip and Stuckey (when he's not being forced to play PG) there.

It should be interesting.

k0ruptr · 06-25-2009, 10:26 PM

damn no PG #5.

They're not moving to Brooklyn. Seriously. Don't believe that hype, no matter what Bruce RATner says. We've been saying on the board for years and they're still in the swamp.

He will sell the team in the next 18 months and that'll be coupled with a move to Newark.

That said, the whole LeBron run makes sense. I hadn't remembered it.

It's ok, they traded him to the Rockets

Young Drachma · 06-25-2009, 10:28 PM

Is Taylor Griffin the first brother to get drafted solely on the strength of his younger brother in the same draft?

k0ruptr · 06-25-2009, 10:28 PM

Yay Taylor Griffin gets drafted by the Suns!

Arles · 06-25-2009, 10:29 PM

Hey, the Suns got the brother of Blake Griffin. Maybe he can join Robin Lopez and reach the Don Swayze, Frank Stallone, Ozzie Canseco level of disappointment Robin has been so far!

k0ruptr · 06-25-2009, 10:29 PM

LThey must have a thing for drafting the worser of the brothers. See Robin Lopez

They committed to play there in 2011 and they will be starting to build the arena in a few months. They've also been fighting it heavily in court (and winning). I just think if they can get Lebron, it makes a ton of sense for everyone.

k0ruptr · 06-25-2009, 10:35 PM

Thats a great late 2nd round pick by the Jazz imo. Suton will fit in well if he can hack it.

but he may just turn out to be another crappy center forward that goes to play in europe in 2 years.

cuervo72 · 06-25-2009, 10:35 PM

I'd swear ESPN is stealing clip music from HGTV.

Schmidty · 06-25-2009, 10:36 PM

Hell yeah!! Glad to see Suton get picked.

Young Drachma · 06-25-2009, 10:37 PM

New Orleans picks up Marcus Thorton. At least he won't have to drive as far from his campus apartment.
