A soon-to-be-running NBA Draft Thread

[nafselon]

If the rumors turn out to have legs and Rudy Gay goes number one what are some of the headlines we could see. (Toronto is a Gay Town???)

Overall this is an interesting draft, no real superstars, but from picks 15-30 you could be a solid top 10 quality talent. There's a good set of above-average players.

Yes.

We need more name changes. Like Atlanta is the Hawks. Zzzzzzzz. If they changed to the Kestrels or something like that, that would rock.

Clippers -- that name sucks, too.

NBA Draft Thread

May this serve as it ...

I just saw the black-and-white EA Sports commercial with Adam Morrison opening "Yeah, I cried ... " and shows him shooting around on the playground. He talks about how he cried because it hurt, and how winning was the most important thing, and how he hopes he always has that intensity, and how that yes, he cried, and that when he gets to the NBA, there will be more crying.

I liked it.

I love the guy. OK, it's just a man crush. He was my favorite player in college, and I'm pretty sure he'll be my favorite pro.

And I still think he's going to land on the Celtics.


I don't have a Top 5 draft prediction. But do any of you?


P.S. Why Bilas keeps saying Redick is a better shooting that Morrison I'll never know. Redick is a tough little kid. But he's no Morrison.

But he cried WITH TIME ON THE CLOCK!

Re: NBA Draft Thread

The odds on the Celtics drafting Morrison are 1000-1. Ainge doesn't even want to use the pick if he can help it.

Yeah I'll eat a bug if Morrison lasts past Portland.

 

[Songbird]

Portland would pick Sam Bowie again before it picked Morrison. The Blazers suck at everything.
