*NBA THREAD* Abe will be missed (4 Viewers)

[Spartans Rule]

Sacramento is now asking the Kings to leave.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Miss u already Kemba.

 

[LHUCKS]

...and all of Utah looks for the closest cliff to jump off of.

Kawhi to your boys?

 

[Kenny Powers]

When Charlotte clearly picked Biyambo (with Sacto's pick, give him a Kings hat), and now Bucks pick Jimmer with Sacto's pick (but say Milwaukee is picking him), what is the point of the confusion??

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Jan Vesely and Jimmer Fredette's respective penises have very different stories to tell.

 

[GreatLakesMike]

I can't believe Fredette went top 10.

Seems about right to me. We know he can score, and he's a decent enough ball handler and passer to be an asset on the offensive end. The guy has unlimited range. Defense is a question mark, but again, who do you take at this point in the draft?

 

[Abraham]

Leonard to the rockets would be awesome.

 

[Kenny Powers]

JiMMER!!

:confetti:!!

He needs to get away from Utah. This is the best thing for him.

I think it's going to be Klay Thompson.

More like Utah's war romm breaths a sigh of releif someone took Jimmer before he got to their pick.

Now that I think about it, he's not a liability until the playoffs..He can probably single-handedly get you 7-7.5 wins

 

[Sudoku_in_the_Bathtub]

C'mon, let Leonard fall to Suns.

 

[Abraham]

We are getting Leonard!

 

[GreatLakesMike]

Kanter and Thompson's noses would make any boxer jealous.

 

[thecatch]

I thought the kings were trading this pick? I hate the maloofs.

 

[Abraham]

I'm an idiot. I thought we were already tO pick 14.

 

[Eastwood]

Congrats Kyrie! Its great to see a highly rated and talented young player who's not scared to go to the NBA. I'm looking and laughing at you Harry Barnes.

 

[Abraham]

Draft xpress mock is 11 for 11

 

[Good Posting Judge]

I'm looking and laughing at you Kyle Singler.

 

[Sudoku_in_the_Bathtub]

Suns : Anyone but Burks. Prefer Motiejunas, Leonard or Morris.

 

[Spartans Rule]

Fredette and Tyreke will be an interesting combo.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

No, actual picks on the left, their mock on the right.

 

[Kev4029]

I can't believe Leonard hasn't been picked.

 

[Sudoku_in_the_Bathtub]

Thank you Jazz for selecting Burks. The one guy I didn't want for the Suns.

 

[Abraham]

Donates mountrushnore or leonard to the rox is good by me.

I think being able to play zone in the NBA now helps Jimmer out a bit. He's probably more of a role player, but role players are important. I think Jimmer's athletic ability is underrated as well. Most people see a white guy and automatically assume that he's a statue. I don't see him as a guaranteed starter, but I think he can be an extremely nice 6th - 7th man.

 

[Kenny Powers]

I can't believe Leonard hasn't been picked.

Is he that good? Strikes me as a prototypical 6th man, but I guess at this point in this draft, he's probably BPA

 

[Juxtatarot]

For the Cavs fans that complain about the pick, Im guessing no one really wanted to trade up. When before the draft theyre talking about Kemba going 17th, why trade up?!These Euros usually hit 1 in every 5. Be happy you picked the black canadian!

Agreed, except I'd put the Euro hit rate at 1 in 50.

You guys need to view some old drafts. Unless, perhaps, you define "hit" differently than I do.

So more like 1 in 100?

It seems like about 1/2 have been good or decent picks in the last four or five years... Beaubois, Gallinari, Batum, etc. We're yet to be able to judge some such as, most notably, Rubio.

I don't see him as a statue, but he's one of the worst defenders I've ever seen. Maybe its partly because he had to carry the whole offense, but he might as well have sat on the bench when the ball was at the opponent's end.

I was never impressed watching him.

 

[Kenny Powers]

wasnt Marcus supposed to be the more touted brother?? Did they pick the wrong one

 

[Card Trader]

Typical Suns draft :(

Someone's gonna be happy with Singleton.

Getting misty in here....

I agree that he needs work on the defensive end, but if you have decent enough athletic ability, which I think Jimmer does, then it's just a matter of listening to the coaches and working hard. He'll never be a great defensive player, but I think he possesses enough athletic ability to be serviceable. For the record, I'm not a Jimmer fan boy.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Marcus is funny.

 

[GreatLakesMike]

I love Singleton.

 

[Kenny Powers]

Marcus is funny.

you mean Mrkeef?

 

[Sudoku_in_the_Bathtub]

I was just thinking last night the same thing Bilas said in regards to drafting Marcus Morris (and thought back to Robin Lopez being the inferior brother).

 

[Abraham]

Rockets :

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Cmon Singleton or Kahwi to the Knicks~!!!!

 

[Abraham]

Gotta trade him. We have two far better scoring forwards on the roster

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Glad Leonard was able to sneak away form his doorman job to make it to the draft

 

[Abraham]

Rockets board is About to crash with rage.

 

[GreatLakesMike]

Gotta trade him. We have two far better scoring forwards on the roster

What position do you play?

 

[Juxtatarot]

Pacers certainly have a lot of wings.

 

[No. 16]

Pacers certainly have a lot of wings.

Bye, bye Granger.Smart move, IMO.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Cmon Knicks. Take Singleton and consider yourselves lucky
