Tonight

McDermott makes a lot of sense for the Bobcats at #9. They need a pure scorer desperately and he fits the bill.

Nah, Stauskas

 

[intlzncster]

Really - they have to work on that skill
Perhaps in the off season

Agreed. It's their biggest failing.

And I meant to type suck. At first I thought it was our wacked out profanity filter, but no, just auto correct.

Hornets

Hope James Young is still there at 9 for the Hornets.

NBA draft has gone completely absurd. Teams spend millions trying to guess whether a 18 yer old will develop a jump shot.
This is a far cry from drafting a Kareem. Walton, Ewing. Magic. Bird.
Kansas could have first two players picked and disappeared in the Tournament. Imagine a team with Kareem and Bird disappearing in the tournament. How bad is the draft. Timberwolves would never even consider trading Love for any of the top three picks.They would demand all three.
Do you that Napier could have won a title going head to head with Magic?

Um, how many pgs in history would win going head to head with Magic? Probably none. He's the best point guard ever. That's an absurd comparison.

You also picked 5 Hall of Fame players there. They don't just pop out of the wood work every year.

Isiah Thomas. Akeem the Dream, Michael Jordan, James Worthy, Artis Gilmore. Marcus Camby. Jerry Lucas. John Havilchek.

With the exception of Marcus Camby - and god knows why you included him - you're just naming guys in the Hall of Fame. Whatever point you're trying to make, that certainly undermines it.

Duncan, Durant, LeBron James, Kobe . . . lists are fun!

These are NCAA Final Four guys drafted in top ten. The players drafted today are still question marks. Did I leave out Wilt.
Compare Emblid to Wilt. Both Kansas guys.

The players drafted today are still question marks .

Any sense as to why that might be? Can you think of anything structurally different about the draft today compared to 50 years ago? Do you think Andrew Wiggins would be less of a question mark if he was forced to play three more years in Lawrence before getting drafted? Probably, right?
