KF "Official" 2008 NBA Draft selection thread

[G_M]

He played in a professional MENS league. It was not college, these were full grown men. College is made for young men, professional leagues are not. Far heavier, far stronger. The French league is pretty good. Say what you like, but I certainly wouldn't bet against Ajinca. He'd have started for most college teams.

Not demeaning him, just pointing out a simple interesting fact..

 

[nbrans]

Could Arthur really fall out of the first round??

 

[kings4lyfe32]

Could Arthur fall to the second round? That would be ridiculous

 

[VF21]

You gotta feel sorry for Darrell Arthur, for whom Ric Bucher has just revealed some kind of kidney problem.

 

[Emma]

lets trade the spurs our 2nd rounders for Mario Chalmers

 

[nbrans]

Some good players still available: CDR, Chalmers, Arthur, Jordan...

 

[Dime Dropper]

Whoa, great pick for Houston. He's the sleeper of this draft. Unbelievable value for pick 25. I would have been happy with him at 12.

 

[nbrans]

Wow -- wasn't that our guy in the 2nd Round?

EDIT: nevermind, I think I'm thinking of Mike Taylor.

 

[Aenadin]

DArrell arthur might be following Josh Mcroberts footsteps.... i feel bad for the guy...

so who is our projected players to be drafted at the 2nd round? come on petrie work work work

 

[Kingfanpaul]

chalmers.....chalmers.....please....

 

[Dime Dropper]

Wow -- wasn't that our guy in the 2nd Round?

Who, Hill? Sure you're not thinking of Mike Taylor?

As an aside, what are the chances of one of CRD, Arthur, Chalmers etc. being there for us in the 2nd?

 

[LoungeLizard]

George Hill? Sounds like a Petrie pick.

 

[gunks]

Some good players still available: CDR, Chalmers, Arthur, Jordan...

Ah Jordan, forgot all about that guy!

 

[nbrans]

Who, Hill? Sure you're not thinking of Mike Taylor?

As an aside, what are the chances of one of CRD, Arthur, Chalmers etc. being there for us in the 2nd?

15 picks is a looong way to go for those three guys to fall. But stranger things have happened.

 

[HighFlyingMonkey]

How about DeAndre Jordan falling into the second round? Wow.

 

[Dime Dropper]

15 picks is a looong way to go for those three guys to fall. But stranger things have happened.

Also add Jordan and Donte Greene, any of those guys would be great value. But yes, I don't think it will happen. Teams will take a chance on them.

 

[kings4lyfe32]

good for Darrell

 

[Spike]

Holy crap did the Hornets just luck out.

 

[nbrans]

Wow, solid pick for Portland. I wasn't always high on him, but he was not a #27 pick.

 

[HighFlyingMonkey]

Pure value pick for Portland. These guys are too much.

Bayless/Roy/Webster/Aldridge/Oden

 

[Dime Dropper]

Great pick for Memphis. Greene has good potential and is talented for a 19 y/o.

 

[Entity]

Nathan Jawii, Richard Hendrix, Deandre Jordan, Joey Dorsey, Devon Hardin. All still available none of them would be a bad pick at #42 or #43 One of the picks has to be a pg.

 

[nbrans]

Really surprised by that pick. Not very big and not very athletic, and some guys ready to contribute still on the board.

 

[nbrans]

Chalmers here?

 

[Entity]

cassell old and rondo not enough. so yeah chalmers for sure.

 

[yanon]

Detroit is going to trade DJ white for the 32nd and 46th picks from Seattle. I bet they will try to get Deandre Jordan with the 32nd pick

 

[nbrans]

Um.... ok!

Guys, 11 picks left before we pick: CDR, Jordan, Chalmers, Dorsey, Hardin still on the board. Think we are starting to have a decent chance to get one.

 

[Aenadin]

detroit's front court is getting a little old.. with wallace

maxxiell is pretty good but they need another front court player

 

[Dime Dropper]

Giddens is a shock.

Hoping Jordan drops to us, won't happen though. I'm expecting him to go in the next couple picks.

 

[Entity]

nbrans I found the perfect Petrie pick. Jamont Gordon. most VERSATILE player in the draft. Listed as PG/SG/SF at 6'3 he did average 5 ast. you know how GP likes versatility.
