he had an outstanding workout at the berto and krause is saying he's extremely tough. I'm a bit surprised too but krause predicted it (on the radio) after miami took wade.

Woohoooo, Raptors take Chris Bosh. The next Garnett!!!!

I watched Bosh play all year here in Atlanta. He is definitely not the next Kevin Garnett.

Boozer was quoted as saying jwill isn't doing so well. He said he has a broken leg (pelvis), broken ankle, torn up knee, and still can't feel his left leg. :Q

Not a bad pick by the Knicks man a shake up. Hinrich over Ford wow....

Edit
deleted extra "up"

Is it just me or is the draft going a lot faster than in previous years?

 

[Dragnov]

No one wants the 7'0 footer Maciej Lampe?! :Q

One word: Center

lol. Well, maybe not quite, but his role in Toronto will be a good guy coming off the bench.

He'll need a good 3 years to develop so i wouldn't be surprised if Toronto trades him this summer. Toronto is in need of an Olowakandi.

Maybe he did poorly in the workouts. Maybe he gets tired easily.

 

[Francodman]

wtf is st. jean thinking. Hopefully this means gilbert's staying in Oakland.

 

[gleong]

I was hoping St would take Lampe. With Pietrus, I wonder if a trade is in the works...don't we already have enough SG/SF's?!?!?

 

[Miramonti]

who's are the shocker UN-drafted players so far? I thought lead-foot collison was going to fall big time, but euro's seem to be falling the fastest.

God I HATE Dick Vitale and the way he speaks. So dick, what do you think about the milwaukee's selection of TJ Ford. "MAMAMMAMAMAMAM maaaa MAMAMAMAMAMAMMAA waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa maa" I refuse to watch any college basketball game that he does and if I really want to watch it, it is done with the mute on.

/end rant.

haha, i tried watching one of the LeBron high school games. Vitale and Bill Walton were calling the game. The 2 worst announcers in history together at once. I wanted to slit my god damn wrists

Luke Walton....no love yet!

GREAT pick IMO as a second rounder. The only major downside is that we might here MORE (if thats even possible) from Bill Walton now.

Woo, two good young big men who can be some decent bench players right away. Then free agency will get the starting legitimate big man, and hopefully a point guard. Nice.

 

[Led Zeppelin]

Someone should update this thread with the first round results.

Edit: Thanks Franco

yup...hopefully we add some quickness and consistency through free agency...
although I really liked the chunky greek guy ("baby shaq")

and as for lampe...sucks to be him but at least the crowd loved it

He can't bulldoze in the NBA with 6'9", baby shaq is going to suck.
As a Sonics fan, I like the two picks very much, Nick Collison and Ridnour.
It could be sweeter by picking marcus banks over ridnour.

Anyone here has a problem with Boston's picks? Troy Bell and Dahntay Jones?

Yup. Hopefully they're planning to use them as trade bait as part of a much bigger deal. Can't really figure Ainge's logic in those picks.

They already did a trade with memphis for their two picks.

I can't believe the lakers would replace the playing time of someone like madson.

I think shaq will be pissed if they (again) don't get another big man to back him up. Its the best thing they could do...help preserve shaq's health, keep his minutes lower.

W0000t Knicks were able to get Lampe with the 30th pick I can not belive that Lampe fell to 30 when just a few days ago he was considered the 2nd best European player behind Milic. Cant belive the Knicks have 2 legitimate (and 3 if you count Milos Vujanic ) prospects

<----Happy Knicks fan (for the night, for all i know Layden could trade those 3 guys plus next years 1st round pick in a sign and trade for Karl Malone :| :|
