http://www.clevelandfrowns.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/magic-johnson.jpgAs a fan of a Kentucky rival, I think Knight was an excellent pick. In addition to his pure talent, he's a smart, high-character guy with a great work ethic. He made great strides at being a true point guard in his one season at KY and I think he's going to continue to develop into a great one in the NBA.So was Knight a good pick for the Pistons? Please advise, TIA.
This logic would also suggest that getting John Thompson big man Othella Harrington, successor to Ewing, Mutombo and Mourning, was an absolute coup at #30 overall for the Houston Rockets back in the 90s.
I know he wasn't terrible. Just messing around. Although I really am not a huge fan of the logic, or of Knight. He shot a far worse percentage from the field in college than Wall, Rose and Evans. He also had a worse A/TO ratio than Wall and Rose (and Evans doesn't appear to be an NBA PG). And the steals aren't there either. My gut tells me that he's the beneficiary of the Calipari PG lineage and a nice run of a couple games in the spotlight in March, but that ultimately he's not that good. Just one man's opinion.
Maybe if there were some better offensive players around Monta, he wouldn't have to take so many shots, bad and otherwise.
It'll be tough to find better offensive players than Lee and Curry to play with.
Good point, we wouldn't want superior offensive players like Lee or Curry taking shots, or more efficient scores like Williams and Wright parading around like they can actually score.
That would stun me. The NBA is not the NFL. They will lose a lot of fans if they miss a year. The gains made this year would completely disappear and then some. I think both sides know this.Barkley says he doesn't think there will be any NBA games next year.
exactly...the owners have much less to lose. unlike the nfl many teams are truly incurring losses. add in the fact that a few afe also nhl owners who have seen first hand how missing an entire season can completely realign player salaries for the long term i am inclined to think that best case scenario is a half season played.
LOL ... Warriors lack offensive threats, that's a new one. They can't even get Reggie Williams on the court half of the time and he was an absolute beast as a rookie.
It would make a lot more sense to give whoever decides to join this league the top picks for picking up a ####ty team than saying they get the 16th or 22nd best pick of the draft this year...just a thought.
Just natural progression of the serpentine draft. If you compare those teams to NBA teams they look bad, but considering the ENTIRE NBA was dispersed among 30 teams they don't look so bad IMO. These are both middle of the road teams in the Build a Basketball Franchise Draft League.
I was gonna say...it's not like they're going up against the real life Heat or Celtics or anyone...no team really has multiple superstars or anything on it.
Seriously, that Bulls team? At least 10 legit rotation players, a top tier player in Williams and a strong wing in Wallace ... The other one is meh, sure.
If Oden can actually play a full NBA season or lock out shortened season that team jumps into the elite tier.
When Kurt Thomas retires though, that team will surely go into the tank
Good thing they have the 22nd and 39th pick in the rookie/14th round veteran draft. Care to take over a team of your choice and wow us with your NBA wisdom?
how about Luke Harangody and Alonzo Gee for Courtney Lee and 10 lbs of smoked brisket?
No, I dont know #### about the NBA. I start watching in April.
...I will say though, sticking with these NBA threads the last couple months, Kev20209er knows his #### as good as any paid FBG for football IMO. I wouldnt be surprised if dudeman is a scout or something

Embarrassing for the Timberwolves and all, but at the #56 pick, it hardly matters.'wazoo11 said:
A couple of them will be good. 2-3. We just don't know which ones.I like Jenkins and Tyler for GS, but I'm under no illusions that they're 100% going to be All-Stars. They're shots in the dark.'Raider Nation said:Ginobili says
Wow why would he lie about age'wazoo11 said:
Umm...because a 21 year old has a lot more potential than a 27 year old?
I know but he should have known that people will find out
Pretty much SOP (or, used to be) with Latin baseball players. I think Pujols is 38 or something.
They needed Donald Trump on the case.
Would you rather get drafted and have people find out, maybe still getting a chance...or not get drafted at all?
Because the Spurs traded for him.
I'm not sure if this is sarcastic or not.... if its not, thank you.'Kenny Powers said:No, I dont know #### about the NBA. I start watching in April.'No. 16 said:
Interesting tidbit was Kahn said he turned down S. Kerr when he was approached about a A.Jefferson/Amare swap a few years back. This was right after A. Jefferson tore his ACL.Just shocked that Kahn would do an interview like this with Rambis' status still up in the air.Whole interview was akward.
Yea, especially because he was listed as being born in 1984 on the Qatar team roster. Why does this mean he was ineligible to be drafted?
This makes me feel not quite so awful as a Raptors fan... but still not expecting much.
Even though Al Jefferson isn't in MN anymore I'm still not sure they'd do the deal.
