Would've preferred Henry Sims as opposed to ANOTHER Euro Stash player but I ain't trippin.

Some clown on Twitter said the guy the Knicks picked is like Manu.

Yeah right.

Lol I know, on NBA.com it says he is a cross between Manu Ginobili and Luke Jackson.

Re: 2012 NBA Draft Discussion

What?

Did they really just give Miami a FIRST ROUND PICK!? WHY?

Edit: Dammit. Wanted the Lakers to draft Hummel. I can still hold out hope for Bufford.

Re: 2012 NBA Draft Discussion

The pick was bought by the Lakers. DJO is headed to Staples.

Really? Wow, I liked that kid.. glad LA wound up with him. Too bad Goudelock never played. Odom will never get off the bench lol

wait hold up, who do we get?

Didn't Kevin Jones of WVU have a first round guarantee?

Darius Johnson-Odom, a tiny but stout scoring guard.

Re: 2012 NBA Draft Discussion

So what's up with Darius Miller, when I watched UK games I paid attention to MKG and AD not him lol

Miller is a very very skilled player. He shoots well, has a great floater, can handle the ball fairly well, can jump out of the gym, solid free throw shooter, plays good defense, can play the 2 or 3, has very good post moves (although rarely used them for some reason)...so if he is so good why is he picked mid to late second round?

One reason...mentality. He doesn't have it in him to just be THE MAN. If he did, he would have been a lottery pick. As it is, he is perfectly happy and content to just be a teammate and always will be. But because of his lack of killer instinct, although it came out a LOT more this past year than year's past, it will likely make him a solid role player/journeyman for 5-8 years and then be out. Maybe even less. I like the kid a lot and hope he continues to become more aggressive but he frustrated a many UK fans because he just doesn't have IT.

But he is a great teammate that I think can do well with the Hornets. Just don't expect much more than 4-6 points and 3-5 rebounds.

Sign him and Robert Sacre as UDFA's and cut Petrofl and Mr. Parker. even if Sacre sucks he's better than those stiffs.

Oh man. I feel bad for the kid.

He can still get picked up by the Spurs. He'd be a nice big man besides Blair, and he'd add some much needed floor spacing for Manu and Parker.

Lakers gonna end up with Scott Machado. WOW @ everyone passing on that kid for some Euro's they will never get.

Edit: Never mind. They picked up Marcus Denmon. Ouch.

Re: 2012 NBA Draft Discussion

Dude, I feel horrible for that guy.. but he shouldn't have even come to the draft... lowkey. Just being honest.

Re: 2012 NBA Draft Discussion

wow, i feel bad for him.

Yeah. That's a really sad pic. Sitting there with his family.

Dude probably got a Metrocard in his pocket and will hop on the subway after the draft is over.

Someone gave him some very bad information.
