The Official NBA Draft Day Thread 2014 Edition

[Gary]

WTF....wonder what happened

He's not very good for an athletic PF. He should be able to block shots or rebound better.

 

[Uncia03]

The long wait is finally about to come to an end.
At this point I am going to be surprised if the player we draft ends up on our Summer League team.

We'll see...

 

[gunks]

Vonleh is one of the best rebounders in the draft....

I think him insisting he's a 3 might have something to do with the slide.

Edit: @ Gary, shoulda quoted yah!

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

can't wait to see who this years t-rob is.

I think I read somewhere that he's been interviewing poorly.

I don't want to saw 'low basketball IQ' cliche, but, yea ...

Not terribly surprised he's sliding. He's the potential pick. With so many 'sure things' in the top 5-10, Vonleh is the question mark.

 

[upinsmoke]

Nothing but white noise on the social media front.

 

[Tetsujin]

And with the first pick, the Cavs select Lebron James.

i ain't surprised that he's sliding, but i always thought he was a decent interview, not like ben mclemore.

But he definitely is the best rebounding 3 in the draft, hands down!

 

[Tetsujin]

I appreciate funny clothing accompaniments as much as the next guy but does Jalen Rose really have to wear an actually rose?

 

[LPKingsFan]

Vonleh is on the slide according to woj. I hope they stay true to their board and don't have their head turned by a slider. A la t rob.

They worked out Vonleh, though, and not T-Rob?

I think they pass on Vonleh, too.

I heard he was a great interviewr...

Hopefully we see a trade, not excited about most expected to go at 8 (albeit I haven't really watched those that much).

 

[Spike]

I don't like his tie. It's not the color, it's the fabric.

It's a clean/classy look I enjoy wearing it.

 

[VF21]

Hello? Plaid shirt? THAT's the fashion faux pas, not his tie or the rose in his lapel.

 

[upinsmoke]

tick tock tick tock

 

[Tetsujin]

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 1m
The Milwaukee Bucks will select Jabari Parker with the No. 2 pick in the NBA Draft, league source tells Yahoo Sports.

 

[dude12]

Wiggins

 

[Tetsujin]

Speaking of awful clothing, what is Wiggins wearing?

 

[Spike]

The Cavs are looking to be the most polite team in the NBA.

 

[Spike]

You shut your mouth! That suit would make Don Cherry proud.

 

[Mass]

As expected.

 

[Hoovtrain]

When the man is one of the all-time best to ever play the game, you need to get his name right. It's HAKEEM.

Well technically he was Akeem during the highlight comparisons

 

[Rockmeister]

Cavs took a lllooonnnnggg time.

 

[dude12]

Well technically he was Akeem during the highlight comparisons

Correct

 

[Tetsujin]

The history of #1 picks from Canada is thus far dubious. #AnthonyBennettIsFat

 

[HereWeBoogie]

i hate twitter spoiling the draft

 

[annihilator_33]

Might have to stay off of twitter for the next couple of hours

 

[Tetsujin]

Someone get Mitchell Wiggins a towel for his head sweat!

 

[Spike]

Just don't go to Twitter. Simple solution.
