The Official 2011 NBA Draft Thread

Only a rumor at this stage but there is strong thinking that Brewer will be leaving Utah with Chicago being a possible destination.

Bad name change. D2T was a classic.

D2C doesn't have the same ring to it.

Classic in the way of Tambling being a dud? Or are you being genuine?

Agree it doesn't have a ring to it (much like LeBron).

Can someone please refresh my memory, how come the Hornets don't have a first round pick?

Jerryd Bayliss trade?

Classic name due to Tambling being a dud

Jerryd Bayliss trade?

Yep that's correct.

Interested to see who the Wiz end up taking. The mail is Vesely but I'm hoping for Kahwi Leonard, he seems to be a better fit in my eyes, seems to be a well rounded player both on the offensive and defensive end.

I made the comparison a while back and got shot down right away for it (by MDC), but I really don't see how Jonathan Givony (of Draft Express.com) can claim that Bismack Biyombo and Mouhamed Sene are "nothing alike". Watch these two videos of them at the same stage of their careers (at the same level of competition, Nike Hoop Summit), and tell me they're not very similar players - stylistically, athletically, and in physical attributes (freakishly long arms, etc.):

Because his shot is still shaky as, although a good sign is he has improved a lot throughout his college career. He isnt that good of a defensive player he is one of those players that could be but he hasn't really shown it. He would be lucky to be going lotto in a half decent draft, this is a poor draft so prob should go lotto but if you want a slashing guard he is your man.

Oh reason he has probably taken a hit is because other teams picks are starting to fall in place ie. Jazz now not taking Knight so that opens it up for Raptors to take Knights over Kemba and so on. Its not because over night he had a workout and did shit.

Kemba has gone from the penthouse to the shithouse due to a potential knee injury. Mind you certain teams will draft him, eg Spurs and he'll be a star, other teams will draft him, eg the Raps and he'll be a bust.

i predict the wolves will keep their no 2 pick.

 

[Renegade]

Apparently Stephen Jackson is already bitching about the trade according to ESPN. Lulz

I want Faried, Biyombo, or Markieff Morris.
