2012 NBA Draft

More intrigue at #2 and #3...

Apparently, Cleveland wants to move up to #2 to take Beal, and Charlotte would then take Robinson at 4. Beal is the Wizards choice (Barnes 2nd, MKG 3rd), so if he is off the board, then they would listen to offers for that #3 pick in order to block Charlotte from getting Thomas Robinson. Oh, the drama!

I would have said "In Ted we trust" not too long ago, but renewing Grunfeld and then doing that stupid trade they just did makes me think this group still has no idea what they are doing.

Agree. My only hope is that there is enough talent at the top of the draft that they stumble into a star.

Right, because I said winning is a bad thing.

It does appear that you said you can't take a joke. So that's good!

Royce White not impressed with MK-G:

"I don't like that kid. He's too hyped up. He's not as good as they think he is. He's a kid. I'm a man."

Okay, that is obviously a joke. Good one!

See, I can take it, HFNW. UW sucks!

[HuskyFreeNorthwest]

UW sucks!

Finally something we can agree on. If Jabari ends up there the church is not true.

Comes out with the trash talk!

Um. Is Royce White the guy who is afraid of flying and has anxiety disorder? Yep. He's a man.


White looks amazingly talented to me, but I wouldn't touch him with Michael Beasley's 10 foot pole.

UW has two 1st rounders, including one potential lotto pick, and couldn't make the tourney. Keep your angst focused there and not on the great Wildcats of Weber State!

I wouldn't take Wroten or Ross in the 1st round if I was selecting for an NBA team. Ross is a classic tweener IMO, Wroten is talented to the moon but takes between 40-60% of the game off.

I join Husky in questioning Lillard as a prospect. But I also admit to having no clue, not having watched him play or done much research.

As for Valanciunas, I will email the Jazz all my posts here pimping the guy last year with my application for GM. OTOH, my concern with Kanter pre-draft was always that there were too many unknowns, having played so little and not at all in over a year. Having seen Kanter, I am typically biased by my Jazz fandom, but still hold out high hopes that he's a high quality player and not a flop as the #3 pick.

And anyone who doesn't draft Perry Jones at 15 is insane. There is going to be a very good pick available at 18. Please get into this draft. Jazz need to move into this draft and out of next year's Ws pick to get it done.

Back in 2001, Kwame Brown "killed" Tyson Chandler in 1 on 1 workouts too.

Tweener? Ross? Based on what?

Wroten is a knucklehead. I hate that guy.

ha. I don't think HFN has done either as well. But I'm not sure why you would have to, he played in the Big Sky, can't be any good.

I'm not munch of a Lillard fan either, but it has more to do with my opinion that he isn't a PG - a playmaker who can run a team and make guys better, than because he didn't win big at Weber.
