2012 NBA Draft

[MarkGrace]

Better young 3:

Knight, Monroe, Drummond?

Hayward, Kanter, Favors?

Good question. Monroe is the best of the bunch so far, but he's closest to being what he's going to be. Knight is the worst of the bunch so far (his production was well below the Jazz 3, and the 4th Jazz guy if you want to include him), but he's also the youngest of the bunch and could easily take a solid step up in production from year 1 to 2 a la Hayward. Drummond is obviously impossible to tell right now.

Why wouldn't Miami keep that pick? Seems like someone they could use in their thin frontcourt.

I'm convinced that Adam Silver is related to President Eyring.

I just hate how the Jazz managed the draft this year.

Same. I really feel like they've really made some bad picks this year.

[MarkGrace]

I was quite happy to see that no one went 8 or below that was going to cause me to lose sleep (though Lamb would have been nice). Then I remembered that if the Jazz had the 8 pick, that means DET would have been picking 7; and since they were always after a big, Barnes would have fallen right in our laps. And then I wanted to cry. Fucking Warrior tanking son of a bitches.

Wizards take a Czech Guard to pair with Jan Vessley, he'll come over in 2 years or never.

I will buy SMR lunch if Waiters or Beal end up being better pros than Barnes.

Geez, somebody get Jeremy Lamb a steak.

Would've loved to have Lamb on Utah. I might even buy SMR lunch if Waiters or Beal end up as better pros than Lamb.

Don't sleep on Waiters. The kid is a baller. He has a swagger and confidence that is contagious. I think he is a good fit for a team like Cleveland, however, I was surprised to see him at 4. I was expecting to see him go between 11-15.

[MarkGrace]

So we have D. Lamb, Quincy Miller, Machado, etc., still on the board. I'd love to have an early 2nd rounder right now.

Same. I really feel like they've really made some bad choices for the team over the course of this year.

The Draymon Green pick seems solid to me for GS. He reminds me of Dejuan Blair, a guy who had no measurables, but is just a good, hard-nosed player.

7 picks away and Machado is still there. If the Jazz let him get drafted in the next 6 picks without trading up, I will be unhappy.

We all know it's Robbie Hummel.

To get Machado in the latter stages of the 2nd round would be a nice surprise.

[MarkGrace]

Come on, Machado.

Great point.
