all-purpose NBA Draft thread

So Greg Oden will be in Portland for a workout and interviews this week. Should be the shortest interview ever.
Guy at the airport holding the "Greg Oden" sign: "You Greg Oden?"
Oden "Yes."

 

Isiah and Chucky Dolan will screw up the Knicks' draft somehow.

 

1. Greg Oden will be a bust.

2. Don't worry Boston fans. You guys are gonna' get a great player in Yi Jianlian. He's a combination of Dirk Nowitzki/Tracy Mcgrady.

3. I'm crossing my fingers hoping that Acie Law lands with Detroit.

 

1. Ummmmmmm, no.

2. So, Boston won't be winning a playoff series anytime soon?

3. Big fan of Acie Law in college; he's the next Randolph Childress in the NBA, however.

 

1. Acie Law and Mike Conley=busts

2. Corey Brewer= Huge star

3. Jeff Green= Star

4. Al Thornton= Josh Howard

5. Joakim Noah=average at best

 

Chuck, you've got to be kidding about Oden. He'll have an immediate impact on the defensive end and on the offensive boards, and will be a stud for the next 12 years at least.

Oh, and Corey Brewer is probably going to be the Celtics pick.

 

The guy looks like he lacks fire on the court. I can't quite figure it out, but his game just dosn't look right. It looks like he's always in slow motion. And to be a great big man in the league today, you gotta know how to score and Im not confident in his offensive game.

I'd take Dwight Howard over him every time.

 

Wait -- you'll take an established All-Star with three years in the league over a draft pick? Quite a gutsy call there, youngster. :

 

Well hell, everyone's already dubbing Oden the next Russell.

 

Any big trades near the top?

 

Memphis had better find a way to get up to No. 3 or they're not going to get Horford.

 

Greg Oden workout? Huh?

My suggestion would be the following:

"You healthy?"

"Then let's keep it that way."
