Official 2009 Nba Draft Thread

[Gary]

You don't think Evans can play point guard?

After watching a lot of him in HS, and a lot of him in College I do NOT think he can play the PG for an NBA team. I said in another thread Evans is a mix between Dickerson, and Salmons. Now if our need was SG I wouldn't be so upset, but it's not.

So we have..
PG-Beno-Sergio
SG-Martin-Evans
SF-Nocioni-Garcia
PF-Thompson-?
C-Hawes-?

Looks an awfully lot like the team that won 17 games or whatever they ended up with last year.

09:32 PM: RUMOR: Knicks likely to get Ricky Rubio from Minnesota? Yahoo! reports that a deal is being discussed and one league GM said a deal “isn’t 100 percent,” but likely.


hmm

Kings..... please make this not happen!

 

[Kings Faithful]

Greg Oden = Bust

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

look I agree the guy is extremely talented...

but at THE MOST -- hes going to be a Dwade type player(unrealistic but thats his max potential) -- not a true PG

And, really, who needs a guy like that?

I'd LOVE to have a DWade type of player and draft/trade for a PG later

 

[Johnny5]

Did you guys want the transcript from Tyreke's post game online fan interview?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Greg Oden = Bust

Waaaay premature.

 

[Emma]

Dejuan Blair and B.J. Mullens still available. Interesting?

 

[Kings Faithful]

Wow, Sam Young, Blair, and Mullens still on the board. I'll be happy with one of them.

Watch us pass on all 3 of them... haha.

 

[Double-K]

They ARE high on Claver...........

 

[DoDiGaG0]

Portland takes Caroll or Casspi here.......

close... GREAT PIC! he was my third thought..

guy has A LOT of talent and potential...

 

[kingsnation]

Wow, they drafted Claver early for trading up to 31..

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

I thought the Kings ultimately would do the right thing and take Rubio, but instead they take Evans. He's not a point guard. But he's a physical combo guard who knows how to get to the rim. He can't shoot much and isn't super athletic, but he's big and strong and he'll make an impact right away. This was a short-term pick. It will look good early, but I wonder how it will look in five years.

Chad Ford on Tyreke Evans Pick.

 

[DoDiGaG0]

They ARE high on Claver...........

incredible talent....

 

[Jespher]

I hope they take BJ Mullens with the 23rd pick now...

 

[king07]

blair is ours to take

 

[beb0p]

Watch us pass on all 3 of them... haha.

LOL. Wouldn't surprise me. Actually I had a feeling GP won't be drafting Mullens.

 

[Double-K]

we are on the clock again!!

 

[Kings Faithful]

Waaaay premature.

Something tells me it isn't. GREAT big men are usally GREAT from the start. And ones who flourish a few years down the road don't have major injury problems from the start...

 

[DoDiGaG0]

Chad Ford on Tyreke Evans Pick.

my thoughts exactly...

 

[Entity]

We need a PG to play along side Evans after we trade Martin.

Are you going to continue this??? it gets a little old.

 

[ParniValjak]

Casspi please

 

[kingsnation]

Chad Ford on Tyreke Evans Pick.

That's exactly how I feel.

 

[KingGiant49erFan]

why do people want a 6"7' PF with no ACL's!?!!??!

 

[Kings Faithful]

Wow, they drafted Claver early for trading up to 21..

No kidding... seems like a waste of a few picks to me.

 

[beb0p]

I'm guessing Kings pick Blair.

But I'd be ok if it's Sam Young.

 

[Double-K]

my thoughts exactly...

And we all know Chad Ford is always correct

 

[DoDiGaG0]

And, really, who needs a guy like that?

if Evans turned out to be Dwade...Rubio would be Maravich....

thats not realistic, I realistically see it playing out like this

Rubio for first 2 years = struggling, not a impact player

Rubio for the next 10 years = Steve Nash type w/o the outside shot

Evans = Larry Hughes @ prime, impact right away, limited upside.

 

[Andre87]

Just like Jrue 0% chance.

look what we've got here!

 

[djsnaz]

BLAIR!!!

He is ours for the taking at #23!!!!

I like Young, too, but didn't think Blair would be there
