Sound off: Who 'won' the NBA Draft Last Night? Who lost?



The 2012 NBA Draft is in the books and there were several surprises and a lot of 'oh that was supposed to happen anyways' moments to be had. National Media are sounding off on who won or lost the draft and we'd be remiss if we didn't open up a conversation here as well.

So let's have at it: which franchises 'won' last night in the draft, which ones lost, and which ones will see the most immediate impacts of 2012's rookie class?

Sound off!

Winners:

Bobcats
Kings

Anthony Davis will probably have the biggest impact right away imo from a defensive standpoint, but from pure #s standpoint I think Thomas Robinson will

The obvious answer is New Orleans, but I would say the sleeper is my Cleveland Cavs. To add a starting 2 and 5 with Kyrie Irving and Tristan Thompson is huge. Alonzo Gee is progressing and Andy V will be a backup. One more draft away from competing again.

My thing about Thomas Robinson, is the same gripe I have on Cousin and Evans. All 3 are superbly talented, yet they have no one to get them the ball where they can be effective. I look for the biggest impacts to come from Davis, Beal and Waiters who all play with veteran or young elite PGs. Lillard in Portland has a chance too, but I think he will need a year to adjust to the competition and playing NBA point.

Robinson does not have the attitude Evans/Cousins does and will put in the work during games to be successful

Anthony Davis lost. He will NEVER live up to all the hype, the comparisons to Kareem, Duncan, KG and I believe there were a few to Olajuwon. Anything less than a HOF career makes him a bust. I like the kid but I think he has to make an immediate, immediate impact on his team and on the league.
