Re: 2011 NBA Draft Discussion Thread

I hope Tristan is gone before the Suns pick. I don't want them to be tempted to take him.

Man Tristan is gonna beast. Maybe I'm biased cause he's from Canada, but the guy is a springboard and has a great great attitude.

Honestly, I'd rather Val or Bismack for Toronto over Knight. I don't get why people are enamoured with him.

Re: 2011 NBA Draft Discussion Thread

I love draft day..........where everyone hopes for a franchise player....and prays they don't end up on this list. (side note: Oden at number 1 is unfair. Darko clearly is the worst pick in history)

I've left the link to that busts story and deleted the story. Seems to have fixed the problem?

Not sure what happened...I just copied and pasted their story. It's worth a read

Yeah, I think the problem is that the youtube video's in the pictures didn't format itself and...yeah, disaster struck.

I don't know if you could remove it or whatever...

Anyway, I don't think there is any chance that Kwame Brown shouldn't be the #1 bust. Either that or Bowie.

I don't get the situation with Irving.
Everybody says he's not an immediate All Star, won't have an impact, will struggle at this and that and the list goes on.
Yet they say he's a lock for No.1 with Kemba being a ROY candidate.

I'm honestly not that impressed with Irving at all, the comparison with Paul is pretty far-fetched.
I understand the Cavs probably going to take a PG at 1 but they probably should think of Knight and Walker also.

Re: 2011 NBA Draft Discussion Thread

I don't understand where all this hate for Kyrie comes from...

Dude averaged 17 and 4 with 55% shooting. In his freshman year.

I'll take a prospect like that 9 times out of 10.

Re: 2011 NBA Draft Discussion Thread

Not so fast on that assumption. Kawhi Leonard got the same "guarantee" from the Pistons a day before Tristan did, and that news came from a different source. So which bit of news do you trust? Or is any of it worth taking seriously?

Kruza

I'm pretty sure D-Town is just covering their bases, by making said promises to both players.

Also as per Andy Katz:

There is a real belief in the Kemba camp that if he doesn't go to the Kings at 7 then he could be there for Knicks at 17, landing at home.

Re: 2011 NBA Draft Discussion Thread

not sure why people think the cavs should take Derrick Williams at #2... he's like 6'7-6'8 ... and he is NOT a small forward...

i don't think he has a position...

also... i don't get the love for Tristan Thompson

[Yeah...THAT Guy]

Re: 2011 NBA Draft Discussion Thread

I'm so anxious.

This is how I feel as a Bucks fan. For the first time since I can remember, there's rumors swirling about the Bucks. First with Jennings, then Bogut, then the #10 pick to Houston for #14 and #23, then #10 for George Hill. I don't like any of these ideas (although if we could unload Maggette or Salmons, I would be all for the one with Houston).

I just really really really really really hope we don't trade Andrew Bogut.

I agree that Derrick Williams does have to figure out where he's going to be playing (the 3 or 4), but I think Chad Ford hit it on the head saying Tyrus Thomas (athletic 4) - especially since they both share(d) the mentality of being positioned as a SF not a PF when coming into the league. Not saying talent wise he's Tyrus, but position wise. Or something.

Pretty excited to see some dominoes fall tonight.

Man, I would LOVE Kemba to fall to the Knicks.
