This is always a blast, especially when a terrible team winds up picking later than their record would typically be expected to land them on Draft Day. Mike D'Antoni turning a lighter shade of gray when the terrible knicks wound up picking maybe 6th overall. As of right now NJ is the favorite to win the #1 overall. Nets TWolves Sac Kings GSW Wiz 76ers Pistons Clips Jazz Pacers Hornets Grizz Raptors Rockets Those are the teams with balls in the hopper. For kicks, pick "your" winner of the #1 overall For me, Golden State, for whatever reason. 8pm, ESPN.
Golden State winning the #1 would be very interesting. They would then auction off the pick for a real talent...(they already have a budding superstar PG)
Utah owns the Knicks pick this year. I'd like to see Houston wind up with it, just the longest of longshots coming in.
Ohio St never ran a traditional offense. They basically ran with all Forwards with Turner playing Point. While he can fill in at Point he is not a NBA point. He is a SG/SF needs to work on his shot but he is very talented.
Draft Lottery. I pray Minnesota doesn't get the number 1. We all know Minnesota will **** their pick up. I'm thinking they draft a PF, SF, PF in that order in Round 1. Their 2nd PF will be a Euro player and stashed away.
The only way I can watch the draft lottery as a Wizards fan is drunk. Eases the pain a bit, unless of course we win it and take Kwame Brown then the pain is extended for another 3 years.
There was an old joke that the reason the Washington Bullets changed their name was that the team did not want their name to denote violence and yet they kept Washington.
Btw Evan Turner tweeted "Sorry T-Wolves Fans!" I knew we weren't getting 1 or 2 thats just how the luck plays out for the T-Wolves.
Not so fast. Phi is looking to trade down. They want Either Favors or Cousins. I expect the Wolves to be active on draft day.
Looks like my Sixers will either get Wall or Turner....hell yayyyyyy!!! Dougy Collins could be back on board soon as the new skipper.
I'm willing to bet they trade with the Wolves. Kahn wants Turner and we have the fire power to make it happen.
