Are there any European players to be drafted in the first round? Might be a first in awhile.
 
Did Dyson end up signing a contract with the Hornets? If not Rivers going there can't be a good thing for him.
 
Kevin Martin is leaving in a year so they could draft lamb and trade him...

YEAHHHH LAMB!!!!!!!!!! Houston is a good destination...def trying to make moves
 
Lamb will do well in Houston. He'll make others be upset that they let him slip this far
 
.-.
Cant believe Sullinger is dropping...crazy...he was talk to be the #1 pick last year...
 
Not a fan of where either player ended up at, neither team has a PG I would want on my team.

I hate to be a bit ornery on draft night. First of all a huge congrats to Andre (#9 to Detroit) and Jeremy(#12 to Houston). And this comes off a very disappointing season which makes it even sweeter. And now for the ornery part. I have known Jim Calhoun(not as a personal friend) but in the context of all he has done for Connecticut basketball,local charities, the overall reputation of the university and on and on. At a time when, once again, a couple of solid young men are high draft picks, I want to say to all of the folks at Yahoo, various media idiots from ESPN to Fox, and even some members of the Horde, who have used JC and the program for target practice; and implied to one degree or another that it was dirty, you can all go to hell. Actually, YOU CAN ALL GO TO HELL!!!!!. This is a great institution with a wide variety of outstanding academic and athletic programs. And it will survive and thrive long after the ratings mongers have faded away. This upcoming season is the season of the phoenix rising from the ashes stronger than ever. And no, we don't want any of the target shooters coming around to share in any of it.

GO HUSKIES!!!

That's the danger of coming back. A lot of fans talk about how kids should stay in college to improve their draft status. Sometimes the best thing you have going for you in the NBA draft is being an unknown. I have to think Drummond would have gone higher if he had stayed hidden in prep school for a year. Now he might be a better player and a better person for having gone to college for a year, but purely from a draft position I'm not sure it was the right call.
 
Houston is a good organization. I'm more worried abt AD in Detroit.

You don't like Dragic? He's more shoot first but he's still a very good player, if Parsons could look good in Houston's system and get good looks Lamb should as well.

I must admit that I'm surprised how far AD dropped after so much talk before the season began that he might be the 1st or 2nd pick. I have no doubt that if he stayed in prep he would have gone higher.

AD has a high ceiling and could turn out to be a huge steal at 9 if he works hard at his game, stays healthy and develops. If he doesn't work hard and consistently do what he's capable of doing he could turn out not to be such a great value. IMO, I think he's going to develop slowly at first, but by year 3 will begin to look like a dominating player. I think he's going to be a player that many will look back and wonder how so many teams passed on him. It probably won't look that way next season or even the next, but it eventually it will.

I think he's going to be an Amare S type talent, though better defender, at some point during his NBA career.

Philly has a very promising roster and great coach

starting to remind me of the Hawks 2.0, a bunch of like sized players who will be fighting for the same position, Harkless is basically Thad Young 2.0. I don't really see them being more than a 2nd round team, could be ECF if things fall right like similar to this year.

Didn't you hear? Dion Waiters will make Lamb eat his shorts.

Hahaha! I'll believe it when I see it! That was a horrific pick by Cleveland. Not saying Lamb should have gone 4th but Waiters at that spot was a major reach for a team that needed a different position than Waiters.
