Then inconsistent Thompson, lets be real. Anyone can see that was a bad choice


You have NO idea how these guys will pan out in the league. None of us do.


Truth. I also believe that Thompson will become a elite PF in the east one day. Also, kanter will be beasssttt. Norris Cole was the steal of the draft.

Your right I dont know but let me ask you with the direction the league is headed in and assuming your a big basketball fan, you go with more of the sure thing this league is about super athletic guards now. Irving can go either way, thompson though cmon even you cant make an excuse for that pick. you could have went irving and a big man at least. But my opinion Williams and either knight or kemba would have put yall in a better place for the future 

exactly. cleveland didn't handle their picks correctly in my opinion. could have gotten tristan later in the draft and could have traded their #4 down for him. and i've been long saying that i'm not sold on kyrie being #1. cleveland could have done a better job for sure


Yeah I hear y'all ... I just think Irving was the smartest choice and our front office was too scared to pass up on him.. I don't think we could get a trade done to get another lottery pick, and the idea of having that Jonas guy sit out a year just wasn't what Gilbert and us wanted to do. I think most people are high on Knight because of what he did against tOSU. Just my opinion. Williams would have been awesome had he dropped or we could've got a trade done. I see the Cavs making more moves before the season starts...

I LOVE TRISTAN, really great dude and hardworker \m/ all day ....but... can't you agree that DW/Knight isnt a better combo than Irving/TT. I just think the Cavs GM was scared to pass on Irving.

Kings- B+
Jimmer is gonna sell alot of season tickets which may help the team stay in Sac, Am i the only one that would pay money to see Jimmy/Reke/DeMarcus. Kings got Salmons back, who they apparently loved albeit with a dumb contract

Minnesota- C
DW is great but he's a better version of Beasley, arent you hoping that BEasy is gonna come make a better Beasley? *shrug* They shoulda had the balls to draft Enes Kanter. Picking up the future 1st from Houston was decent but they had to take on that slug Brad Miller -_- Malcolm Lee might make the team.

Charlotte - A
I like what they did alot. Sure they have DJ Augustin, but Kemba is gonna beat him out very soon and will sell tickets. Biyombo has high bust potential but he can play instantly and will get to learn on the job. A lineup of Walker-Maggette- Tyrus-Biyombo-who cares wins maybe 15 games... perfect to get the #1 next yr.

How are the Mavs not in your top 4. They won a championship and basically found a way to swindle Rudy Fernandez from Portland.
Fernandez hasn't mattered since his rookie year.

People need to get over this "he only played 11 games" !+%*.

College careers, even ones that last four years, are just a fraction of what goes into the evaluation/draft process. Stop it.

Thats fine to have a belief. With that belief you better have something to back your theory up with, i cant stand Lebron, but this is a team trying to replace him and move on and these are your picks based off what. Don't know your basketball knowledge, nor am I saying you lack it but im open to learning something, I dont know too many dominant 6'8 Power Forwards in this league.

Boy Rivers gonna cook next year

IMO, Best draft was the Wizs, Utah & Denver.

Love every move.

Utah with my dude Burks
pimp.gif
& Kanter gonna be a problem soon.

Agree with what dude said, drafting Williams @ 1 then Knight @ 4 would have been nice, but Kyrie/TT will become a very good 1-2 punch.

Sixers...man...hopefully big guy from USC can play right away. I do remember someone saying he's the most ready big men in this draft, and lord knows we need inside presence.

Lakers mad 2 very good picks IMO. I see Morris becoming a good player in their future, maybe not PG of the future, but still very reliable. Goudlocke is a great addition. I actually see him getting PT next season because his scoring ability is very exceptional.

Norris Cole to MIA is nice. He was one of my favorite players in the draft, I can see dude getting good minutes if he works hard enough. Right now, only competition he has is Chalmers.

8:47 -- After failing with Robin Lopez and Taylor Griffin, Phoenix grabs its third twin in three years: Markieff Morris — the identical twin of Marcus Morris, who was better than Markieff at Kansas — only now Markieff is a slightly better prospect because he's a natural "4" (and Marcus is a tweener 3/4), but again, they're identical twins, and if you can figure this out, God bless you.
