Official draft discussion thread

I'm not sold on Morrison and his diabetes, bad haircut and creepy moustache.

I am -- guy is a winner. No guarantee on stardom, but weak body or not he'd rip your heart out an eat it to win, and that's an outlook that often separates the real winners from the softies.

Disagree. He's a crier, and he gave up on the last game of the season before it was over. He'll compete for 46 minutes, but is he going to be there when it matters?

As an aside Dicky V. is about as bigoted and small minded a commentator as you are going to find discussing the NBA. No perspective. Needs to shut up and go away.

Yes.

And he'll shoot that dagger too. Balls.

 

[nbrans]

Yes.

Pretty tough to shoot through tears.

On another note, how crappy is the ESPN broadcast of the draft? I can't stand every talking head up there. Remember how great it was when TNT carried the draft?

 

[Kings113]

Bulls are gonna have an even funner team now with Ty Thomas there, regardless of where he plays. I like 'em even more

 

[nbrans]

Pretty awesome to seeing Tyrus Thomas talk about the Bulls while wearing a Blazer hat.

 

[Kings113]

Hawks get the defensive big they need, but also needa PG...

 

[RaY Z]

i thought they wouldve drafted aldridge...

 

[Kings113]

Wolves gotta pick Foye...

 

[nbrans]

Roy also makes sense, but I think Foye will be better. Oh, and Gay is still on the board...

I mostly agree, with the exception of the crying incident. I really have no problem with crying and getting emotional, the complaint was that the game was still in question when he broke down.

But the diabetes is really what scares me, under an 82 game season and when you get into the playoffs how will this affect him? He should have better medical supervision than he had in college but I'm sure there are going to be a lot of issues. How many current players suffer from type 1 diabetes?

 

[sauce-26]

Take Roy Timberpups.

 

[Kings113]

I'd say Foye or Gay go to Minny

 

[Kings113]

Okay. Great pick for Wolves!

 

[sauce-26]

I called it!

 

[nbrans]

draftexpress.com is 100% so far. Chad Ford wasn't even close.

 

[RaY Z]

i thk the celtics will draft marcus williams or gay

 

[nbrans]

Haha, Blazers screwed up again, they wanted Roy. And they are getting LaFrentz for Ratliff. Holy crap they suck.

 

[Kings113]

Blazers!

 

[RaY Z]

ohhhh they got foye...

 

[nbrans]

All said and done, I'm probably too hard on the Blazers. Foye and Aldridge could be the best two players from this draft.

 

[Kings113]

Great pick by Blazers, Foye is a stud

 

[RaY Z]

gay has to be picked here... im almost too certain...

 

[Entity]

it will start to shake up after the GS pick after that pick its up in the air of the order.

 

[Kings113]

Battier To Rockets, Gay To Grizz...

 

[RaY Z]

o'bryant is next for the warriors

 

[Entity]

Golden state could take Marcus Williams or Patrick O'Bryant

 

[RaY Z]

who knows they may even take hilton armstrong...
