The Official NBA Draft Day Thread 2014 Edition

[TyFreak Evans]

Huh??????

 

[Dime Dropper]

Describe for me the issue here.

The tweets? or are internationally you guys on some sort of tape delay behind the live showing on espn?

Maybe it's an international thing but I don't think so. There are guys on twitter (Woj etc) tweeting the picks about a minute before they're broadcast. People are then posting the picks here before they "happen". Sure, I could just follow the draft on twitter but I, like many others, want to watch it on TV.

 

[John Galt]

Idiots here still posting the picks earlier. Can we just ban them?

What are you taping it or something? I assumed everyone was on top of twitter sorry

 

[Big Cuz 15]

i'm happy they picked stauskas. now trade ben

 

[VF21]

oh goodie. A 2014 version of Jimmer.

 

[Spike]

NOOOOOO!

 

[rainmaker]

I don't like this pick at all.

 

[theclash4u5]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[chasen4r1]

Ugh

 

[Hadlowe]

Sigh. Friggin' defense is an afterthought.

 

[Uncia03]

I really like Stauskas.
He's better than Ben right now.

Now if we can somehow turn Ben into Rondo...then our guard rotation will really be set.

I am disappointed that we passed on Vonleh though...

 

[Sam0ah]

W00000000000000! YEs

 

[Big Cuz 15]

espn is announcing the picks way earlier than its being picked.

 

[Gary]

OK.. We picked a SG when BMac is still on the team.. Boston picked a PG with a PG on their team.. What do you think?

 

[fansinceday1]

Don't know anything about the kid but I love the swagger.

 

[Entity]

Wow another sg that can't defend

 

[upinsmoke]

Ben you have company.

 

[Tetsujin]

Wow Jalen Rose comparing him to Drazen. A little bright and sunny?

 

[king07]

u wot m8

From your lips to God's ears.

The Kings feel like they can use McLemore and Stauskas together in the same backcourt at times I'm told.

 

[Dime Dropper]

Pete is on the phone. Has to be a trade with Smart/Rondo both in Boston. Don't mind Nik even though he was far from my top choice, but doesn't make sense with Ben here. One of them has to be moved.

 

[Arkitect]

Wikipedia is very fast

 

[rainmaker]

With all the problems this roster have, we draft non-defensive SG's in back to back drafts?

Can't develop them both.

This pick makes zero sense after last year.

 

[Rockmeister]

OK.. We picked a SG when BMac is still on the team.. Boston picked a PG with a PG on their team.. What do you think?

They just said the same thing.

[dude12]

Ok....compared to Drazen Petrovic with a touch of young Manu Ginobili......ok..... Trying to feel better about the pick

 

[kingsnation]

Bad assumption.

 

[VF21]

WTF???? Aldridge or somebody just compared Stauskas to Drazen Petrovic?

 

[Mass]

Don't know how I feel about this... I might take some time to think about it.

 

[William Blake]

I love Stauskas, he's the first pick since Cousins that I really like.
I think this signals the end of IT in a Kings uni rather than the end of McLemore.

 

[roasthawg]

Pumped! If we couldn't get Smart or Gordon then Stauskas was my guy! Klay Thompson type of offensive player... maybe even a better shooter than Klay. Can handle and pass too... awesome pick!

 

[annihilator_33]

Can't keep both McLemore and Stauskas......freaking ridiculous
