Your point was a good one though. Not surprising that they have so many white blokes though.

* Bulls keeping both Gordon and Deng according to John Paxson... GOOD

I dont want to sound biased, but Chicago's the clear winner so far.. Deng and Gordon were both considered the #3 player in the draft and we managed both. Deng fell because he didnt want to workout... which cost him a few million...but it worked out for us.

No bias there, the Bulls have owned this draft so far.

There's a resurrection going on in Illinois.

Snyder to Utah.

My goodness Pavel still hasnt gone.

Good pick by Utah

 

[Fall Out Boy]

Surprised that Utah overlooked Monya, however their choice of Snyder is an excellent fit.

 

[Carmelo Anthony]

Utah select a black player!!

Kirk Snyder

1) Orlando - Dwight Howard
2) Charlotte - Emeka Okafor
3) Chicago - Ben Gordon
4) LA Clippers - Shaun Livington
5) Washington (Dallas) - Devin Harris
6) Atlanta - Josh Childress
7) Pheonix (Chicago) - Luol Deng
8) Toronto - Rafael Araujo
9) Philadelphia - Andre Iguodala
10) Cleveland - Luke Jackson
11) Golden State - Andris Biedrins
12) Seattle - Robert Swift
13) Portland - Sebastian Telfair
14) Utah - Kris Humphries
15) Boston - Al Jefferson
16) Utah - Kirk Snyder


Hes a steal, great defensive player, great shooter. Maybe he will be as good as the #16 pick of the 99 draft.

Denver will be licking their lips with the possiblity of Pavel and Ramos being around at their pick...

 

[Borgsta]

Atlanta pick will be interesting. I expect Pavel considering they need EVERYTHING

Fingers crossed he slips to 49

Great pick by the Jazz.

I still reckon the Blazers jumped a bit early for Telfair. Ah well. So is life.

 

[Carmelo Anthony]

John Paxson ''Were keeping Deng and Gordon, and matching reasonable offers for Jamal''

Cant see that happening.

I say we let Jamal walk and sign Sura and another vet with the MLE.

 

[Fall Out Boy]

Also hoping Duhon and the Brazilian kid get overlooked.

Surely Hotlanta take Josh Smith...

I thought Pavel or JR would be best for them here.

They won't take Nelson, given Terry can't be moved.

[Fall Out Boy]

Has Pavel lost a leg overnight?

 

[Borgsta]

You're not alone mate. Been one big surprise today.

The absolute steal of the draft for me so far is Deng. Cannot believe he slipped so far. Is just the type (very disciplined) that Chicago needed.

Anyone got a running scorecard?

JA: I think we'll see Pavel gone in the next 3-4 picks.

 

[Carmelo Anthony]

The guy on the draft on ESPN said Josh Smith will be a bust and has no right hand.. lol harsh words! He also says he doesnt work hard.. thats pretty bad considering Josh wouldve heard him.

I hope he proves the critics wrong.

Reminds me of Qyntel Woods a few years ago.

I'd say Vujacic or Nelson.

Hopefully he or Nelson falls to pick 30.

WOOOOHOOOO I WAS RIGHT.


*ahem... The Hornets select JR Smith at 18

I can see Nelson slipping to New Jersey unless the next few teams exercise Best Player Available. The next few will be after bigs, IMO.
