The Avery Bradley pick hints at a blow-up unfortunately.

Why do I think Okie City just got like the number 3 pick in the 2012 draft for a backup point guard?

He cant start if Allen leaves can he? Isnt that a huge dropoff even if allen is only a one way player at this point?

This might be the worst draft ever...

at least in terms of buzz. Even Jay Bilas seems to be mailing it in. He hasn't gotten hysterical and started making up words even once. I do think he said 'lengthability" though

Portland fires their GM prior to the draft and then lets him make the picks???

What???

I'd draft Scavs if they did this to me.

With the 22nd pick in the 2010 draft The Portland Trailblazers select Shooting Guard Tom "Scavs" Rothstein from Southern Illinois.

Jay Bilas- I have no idea who this guy is but I like the pick. Rothstein has stoutability and his 2 inch vertical is better than it looks

Jeff Van Gundy- What are they doing? I could guard that guy!!!

Here is how bad this draft is. The Pacers took a guy with the 10th pick who was 2nd team all WAC last year as a sophomore. The 10th best player in the draft couldnt make 1st team in the WAC? ok

Only if you spot him a trampoline.

Biggest sleeper of the draft:

Daniel Orton.. it may take a few years, but I think this kid can play.

Paul Allen is a dick.

ateamstupid · #11 06-25-2010, 11:48 AM

Sheed retiring. HOF? Probably not I guess.

I agree, this might be the worst draft ever. There isn't a player in this draft where if I were a GM I would "have to have" him. Even the top 5 are not special players at all. I mean, Derrick Favors, other than the Duke game, did he have a memorable game all season? Evan Turner was a great college player I like him a lot- and his shot to beat Mich was awesome, but is he a bona fide NBA All-Star which is what you should get with the #2 pick in the draft? Seems like he's the kind of guy they always beat on come draft day for not having NBA skills. Paul George is mediocre at best. Someone compared him to Danny Granger- he ain't even close to that.

Evan Turner is going to be the best player on his team.. though that might not be saying much.

You answered your own question.

Huge dropoff. I'm not a fan of tweeners like him. Even if he can reproduce Ray's shooting, he's way too small to guard most twos and he and Rondo would be the worst FT shooting backcourt in NBA history. His best shot is to be Nate's replacement and be a better shooting backup for Rondo.

Tiny Gallon and Magnum Rolle are my two second-round sleepers, and not just because they have cool names. Jerome Randle too. I don't understand why he doesn't get more publicity. He's tiny, but he's insanely fast and a terrific shooter. Reminds me of Iverson with better passing ability.

Cannon Shell · #17 06-24-2010, 10:38 PM

Do you think that the 3 Kings fans they are showing are actual fans or are they "paid" fans like the North korean fans at the World Cup?

Okay, let me just say, I heavily dislike the NBA, but I do follow ACC basketball due to the fact I went to Clemson, and follow all Tiger sports like a diehard.

So what do you NBA experts think of Booker heading to Washington?

It's way easier to manhandle college PFs than NBA ones, but he's a good jumper so he might be able to overcome being an undersized 4. I think he's a poor man's Paul Millsap. He'll hang around the NBA because of his athleticism and strength, but there's nothing that special about his game to make him a starter IMO.

I cant even keep track of who Washington has anymore. I dont think Booker is good enough to get much time in the NBA. Has skills of a guy who needs to be 6'10" and he measured at 6'7".
