NBA Draft

[bartleby]

Starting now~!

[icemanx62]

So do you think Bucks take Bogut or Williams?

[bartleby]

It's gonna be Bogut.

[CraigM]

And it was Bogut. No shock.

Craig

[icemanx62]

Yup it's Bogut. So are you a Bobcats fan or Hornets fan Bartleby?

[bartleby]

Yeah, no surprise there. It's basically from here on out that it becomes unpredictable.

[Your Pal, Carl]

How about the Bucks war room guys, high fiving each other after the pick? I think you might want to wait until After the season starts to celebrate.

[bartleby]

Yup it's Bogut. So are you a Bobcats fan or Hornets fan Bartleby?


Neither really, at least not at this point. Depending on how the Bobcats draft tonight, I stand a better chance at following them than I ever will the Hornets again.

[CraigM]

Why're they high-fiving each other? You have the first pick. Of course you're going to get who you want :P

Craig

[William Satterwhite]

Darn, I was hoping the Bucks would fall for Williams and let the Hawks get Bogut. I wonder if Billy Knight can work some magic and trade down. If he wants to, he can hold Utah hostage.

[Your Pal, Carl]

Why're they high-fiving each other? You have the first pick. Of course you're going to get who you want :P

Craig

I'm waiting for the war room shot where one guy walks out of the room in disgust.

[Your Pal, Carl]

Atlanta - Marvin Williams

[icemanx62]

Williams to NBA Hell Atlanta.

[bartleby]

Marvin was the best player on the board, but Atlanta still needs to get a point guard.

[William Satterwhite]

Yay, another forward with potential, you can never have too many of those :roll:

[William Satterwhite]

I can't believe I'm saying this but I absolutely agree with everything Dick Vitale just said.

[Your Pal, Carl]

Utah - Daron Williams

[CraigM]

What is with so many players having kids in college?
Craig

[icemanx62]

Stern's teasing. D. Williams gone. Chris Paul next?

[bartleby]

I really hope New Orleans takes CP3, because I don't want Charlotte to end up having to draft him.

[Your Pal, Carl]

New Orleans - Chris Paul

[icemanx62]

CP3 off the board

[William Satterwhite]

What is with so many players having kids in college?
Craig

They're getting a headstart

[bartleby]

hahaha... Chris Paul and the Hornets deserve each other.

[icemanx62]

I'm just waiting to see if Frye last till the 8th pick.

[bartleby]

I really hope the 'Cats don't draft the high schooler....

[icemanx62]

Which teen? Green or Webster?

[bartleby]

either of 'em

[Your Pal, Carl]

Charlotte - Raymond Felton

[CraigM]

You happy with that Bar?

Craig

[icemanx62]

Felton stays in Carolina

[bartleby]

Well, I'm a Bobcats fan now.

[icemanx62]

A slight shocker. I was expecting the Bobcats to take a high school kid.

[Ben Rosen]

i'm glad the bobcats aren't trying to build a team out of high schoolers. that said, my nets suck. :(

[icemanx62]

My Knicks are even worst

[Your Pal, Carl]

I have high hopes for my Warriors for the first time in years.

[CraigM]

Ugh. I'm pissed.

Webster was supposed to go to Orlando.

Craig

[Your Pal, Carl]

Portland - Martell Webster (HS)

[icemanx62]

Webster to the Blazers

[bartleby]

Who gets damned to Toronto?

[icemanx62]

Frye or Green to Toronto?

[Your Pal, Carl]

Toronto - Charlie Villanueva

[icemanx62]

Charlie V. to the Raptors!

[bartleby]

I can understand why Charlotte picked Felton higher than his value, but what the hell is Toronto's justification for drafting Villanueva so high?

[Your Pal, Carl]

Bilas called the pick "shocking"
Steven A. said the pick made "no sense"

[icemanx62]

Let's see if my Knicks drop the ball. You can start the Frederick Weiss chants!

[Your Pal, Carl]

New York - Channing Frye

My Warriors are on the clock.

[Saul Colt]

As a Raptors Fan i am climbing to my roof and jumping as soon as I finish typing this.

Rob Babcock did it again.

two years in a row he blows picks!

:(

saul

[icemanx62]

Channing Frye to the Knicks. I just hope he doesn't breakdown like Camby. Babcock sucks. He drafted Frederick Weiss. Green to GS?

[bartleby]

What purpose does Stephen A. Smith serve other than to disagree with everything?

[Saul Colt]

I predict that Toronto with their 16th pick will draft ME.

Sadly it aint too hard to believe

saul

[bartleby]

Do y'all not get NCAA basketball games broadcast up there in Toronto?

[icemanx62]

Stephen A. Smith is damn annoying at times.

[Your Pal, Carl]

STFU Steven A.

[Your Pal, Carl]

Golden State - Ike Diogu

They weren't gonna draft a starting player.

[William Satterwhite]

As a Raptors Fan i am climbing to my roof and jumping as soon as I finish typing this.

Rob Babcock did it again.

two years in a row he blows picks!

:(

saul

Evidently the Babcock family has a monopoly on stupidity when it comes to running basketball teams.

[icemanx62]

You satisfied Giannini? Damn L.A!

[Your Pal, Carl]

You satisfied Giannini? Damn L.A!

Yeah, I'm satisfied. As satisfied as any fan of a team that hasn't made the playoffs in 11 years.

But that's all gonna change.



WARRIORS 2006 NBA Champions

[icemanx62]

Bynum reminds me of Oliver Miller

[CraigM]

Magic up!

Craig

[icemanx62]

What are the Magics needs?

[CraigM]

PG and C.

Craig

[icemanx62]

Vazquez Craig. Your thoughts?

[CraigM]

What? Huh? Are you joking me?

Craig

[icemanx62]

What? Huh? Are you joking me?

Craig

I'm as stunned as you are.

[icemanx62]

Korolev to the Clippers. He's suppose to be the next AK47.

[bartleby]

Oh yeah... definitely a Bobcats fan!

[icemanx62]

Looks like the Bobcats only take National Champs.

[bartleby]

Rashad McCants to the Timberwolves.


Fourth Carolina player taken in the lottery. Fifth ACC player.

[icemanx62]

Nets pick Antoine Wright

[Ben Rosen]

who? is our newest net the real deal?

[icemanx62]

who? is our newest net the real deal?

He's compared to Joe Johnson.

[icemanx62]

Granger to the Pacers

[Saul Colt]

Do y'all not get NCAA basketball games broadcast up there in Toronto?

Not a ton of coverage but there are a handfull of games broadcast up here

saul

[icemanx62]

Celtics get Gerald Green.

[icemanx62]

Warrick to the Grizzlies

[Smokinblues]

Celtics get Gerald Green.

anybody know anything about him? people were talking they'd take ellis from mississippi

[icemanx62]

Hodge to the Suns

[icemanx62]

anybody know anything about him? people were talking they'd take ellis from mississippi

Green is the high school kid that the media compared to TMac.

[icemanx62]

nate robinson to the suns.

[bartleby]

Hodge to the Suns


Hodge went to the Nuggets along with Jarrett Jack.



With those two, the ACC total comes to 7 players taken in the first round.

[William Satterwhite]

Good for Jarret Jack going to the Nuggets, that should be a geat fit for him.

[icemanx62]

Good for Jarret Jack going to the Nuggets, that should be a geat fit for him.

I agree that Jack is a great fit

[icemanx62]

Garcia to the Kings. Luther Head to the Rockets

[William Satterwhite]

Somebody needs to hurry up and get Louis Williams before the Hawks pick again.

[icemanx62]

seattle take johan petro.

[icemanx62]

Somebody needs to hurry up and get Louis Williams before the Hawks pick again.

Is Louis from your town?

[icemanx62]

Detroit picks Jason Maxiell

[bartleby]

Somebody needs to hurry up and get Louis Williams before the Hawks pick again.


I could see Atlanta taking a chance on John Gilchrist. Of all the point guards in the draft, he's physically the most gifted.

[William Satterwhite]

Not really, Williams is from the suburbs on the other side of Atlanta. I'm speaking as a Hawks fan, I'm tired of them drafted high school kids and/or freshman, I'm tired of hearing about "potential". I've certainly heard enough good things about Williams over the last year to think he should be a solid NBA player in a couple of years but I don't want him to get his feet wet with the Hawks. If he's still there at 31, there's going to be too much pressure to take him.

[icemanx62]

You could then add Gilchrist to your ACC list

[bartleby]

You could then add Gilchrist to you ACC list

Even if the Hawks don't take him, I'm pretty sure he'll get drafted somewhere in the second round. Plus you've got Daniel Ewing and Jawad Williams that should end up somehwere.

Gotcha. Rebuilding sucks when all that potential amounts to nothing. Hopefully J. Smith and Williams will make things exciting again in Atlanta.

Gilchrist would be a good fit if they can get him

[icemanx62]

My Knicks are up again. I just want them to get younger and more athletic.

[William Satterwhite]

Even if the Hawks don't take him, I'm pretty sure he'll get drafted somewhere in the second round. Plus you've got Daniel Ewing and Jawad Williams that should end up somehwere.

Jawad Williams is going to be the steal of the draft, the other UNC guys were so hyped up I don't think enough people ever noticed how good he is.

[bartleby]

Wow, New York doesn't like David Lee.

[icemanx62]

David Lee? WTF! It's the last pick of the round.

[William Satterwhite]

Gotcha. Rebuilding sucks when all that potential amounts to nothing. Hopefully J. Smith and Williams will make things exciting again in Atlanta.

Yeah, I was against drafting Smith last year but that has worked out okay so far. Actually, the way they handled the draft last year was cool, mixing it up with an experienced college player and taking a chance on a high schooler.

[bartleby]

I think I'm at the point now where I'm really not interested enough to watch the rest of this thing.

[icemanx62]

Your Hawks are stepping up to the plate

[icemanx62]

Stoudamire can shoot. Your thoughts?

[icemanx62]

D. Ewing to NBA Hell, the Clippers. How many ACC guys is that now?

[bartleby]

D. Ewing to NBA Hell, the Clippers. How many ACC guys is that now?

8

Marvin Williams
Chris Paul
Raymond Felton
Sean May
Rashad McCants
Julius Hodge
Jarret Jack
Daniel Ewing

[William Satterwhite]

Stoudamire can shoot. Your thoughts?

I love it, I was looking for more of a pure ballhandling point guard but if his shooting touch makes the transition to the NBA, its a big steal. If he does end up starting it should be lots of fun.

[icemanx62]

I think Lue will still end up starting, but it's nice to have a shooter like that.

[bartleby]

HOLY CRAP! Somebody actually drafted Von Wafer?!

[bartleby]

That makes 9 ACC Players.

Marvin Williams
Chris Paul
Raymond Felton
Sean May
Rashad McCants
Julius Hodge
Jarret Jack
Daniel Ewing
Von Wafer

[icemanx62]

:-o :-o :-o
HOLY CRAP! Somebody actually drafted Von Wafer?!

[icemanx62]

I forgot Chris Taft was still on the board.

[icemanx62]

Louis Williams is picked up by Philly

[Brewtown Andy]

3 Conference USA players drafted so far, Garcia, Maxiell and Diener. Is that a record? Feels like it.

[icemanx62]

Could be a record. Gotta look into it.

[William Satterwhite]

Louis Williams is picked up by Philly

That should be a good fit for him, I hope he does well up there

[William Satterwhite]

4 CUSA players got drafted in both 2000 and 2001

[DeadMike]

I think the Celtics got the steal of the draft with Gerald Green. That kid is NICE! He dominated the McDonalds All American game. Ryan Gomes is a solid pick with their second round pick. An All American Honorable mention with the 50th pick in the draft isn't too bad. Though he's going to have his work cut out for him if he want to crack the roster.

Overall Bobcats had the best draft. Felton, May and Okafor playing together is an interesting mix.

I gotta agree with Green being a steal for the Celtics and the Bobcats with the best draft.

[anthony the ghost]

Gerald Green On The Green!!!!!!!!!!that Was A Steal Motherfucka!!!!!!!!!! Yesssssssssssssssssssss!
