NBA Draft Thoughts

[live jive]

If Marvin went one, which I don't think he will, I'd be kicking myself, but I just don't see how he won't go #2. True, $600 to $100 is a risky play, but it seems like free money. It's like betting Mike Tyson over some big dumb white guy.

exactly right why would anyone ever bet boxer like tyson at
-800, thats a lot of loot to risk to win 100 bucks thats why i took chance and put 100 on that dumb white guy and won 500, there is no such thing as free money i dont like takin odds that high and thought 1-6 seemed risky, chances good it will happen but never know, good luck if ya bet it

Andrew boget sucks. Remember just a few short months ago everyone here myself included was on Utah +5 vs. Kentucky. Was suppose to be Bogets coming out party. That piece of crap was a no show. He will flop bigtime in the NBA bank on it!!!

Who the hell is J. Williams?

I WAS WONDERING WHERE THE HELL YOU WERE?

[husker]

as a bucks fan(since big O) it doesnt really mater who they pick, there are no duncans, shaqs,robinsons,etc. to chose #1. the top players are so young you dont really know what you are getting. but the bucks havent had a good big man since they traded jabbar.

I actually like Boguts game, from a rec league players point of view, he's a good passer and is fundementally sound, he'll be a serviceable big man in the NBA, but he'll never be great. The one thing I look at, when determining if a 7 footer is gonna be successful in the NBA is, do they dunk with regularity. I know it sounds stupid, but it's so important, players like Bryant Reeves layed the ball up from close range, and so does Bogut.

Now i would LOVE to see Boston move up to get Frye or Warrick!

I think Warrick would be a a good fit. I think I've had enough with Paul Pierce too. Walker might be good to stick around a bring some veteren leadership to the team.

Hopefully Frye slips to #8. If Frye is available and Thomas tries to get cute by taking that guy from Spain (Frito Bandito), i'm going to kill myself and then beat Thomas with my dead body.

Wolves pick at #14

I'm hoping for no f***ing high school or foreign players. We need a proven college player and there should be some good talent at #14. Hoping for:

1) Hakim Warrick or
2) Antoine Wright

also wouldn't mind if they took Rashad McCants, Joey Graham, or Jarrett Jack if Warrick or Wright are gone which is a good chance they will be. McHale better not screw this year up like Ebi, Will Avery, Paul Grant, etc...

[BigWeiner]

We're getting Warrick at 9, I'm telling you. Wright might still be there, Graham is solid too. The TWolves will get someone solid.

The Rook is just bitter because my Tar Heels spanked his Illinois boys in the Title game. If Marvin wasn't the 4th or 5th option in Carolina he would have been a Bigger star there! How can you not see this kids talent?

LOL...how could you tell. My error first of all. M...not J...got to quit drinking.

But Wayne, you just solidify my point...if he's got THAT much talent, why is he the 6th man, why is he the 4th or 5th option?

You put the best talent on the floor. That's why Deron Williams rarely sat down.

Spanked? We missed serveral point blank shots in teh final two minutes. I hardly called it spanked...and I dare say the Heels got pretty lucky to survive, but give them credit..they won.

And I have watched MANY Heels games...I am here in SC...can't watch much else.

If you saw the games, then you know Marvin should've been starting, Roy probably thought it wasn't fair to play him over those other guys, cause he was younger and less experienced. Don't get me wrong Marvin is not ready for the NBA, but potential is what they draft on, and he has the most upside of everyone in the draft, because of his size, athletic ability, and the guy can really shoot, that's the difference maker.

Again, I saw the games, and if you think that a coach will NOT play the player with the most talent because he's not as old as the other players, then your fooling yourself and that coach would not be there much longer. Senior night is one thing...but the whole season is another.

Raw talent...maybe. It's a big gamble. Better talent then Deron Williams or a Chris Paul? Hardly...in my opinion.

First 3 picks:

Bogut - MLW
Paul - ATL
Williams - Charlotte (in a trade)

A little late, but my predictions.

[zeib10]

Sleeper of this draft will be Danny Granger.

Favorite Player of draft - D Williams (Ill)

[rented mule]

Villenueva? That's a twist.
