The 7’5 Russian dude just withdrew his name from the draft.  He does not want to be considered a project, so he’ll go back to play ball in Italy and come back next year.

I guess if he's guranteed Top 3 pick next year at 19 that's not bad, but do you think at all his agent may have advised him to withdraw because he was likely to be drafted by the Clippers? Not Clipper hating either.

I don't think so, because he was going to get guaranteed $$$ for the next 5 years anyway. He could develop his game with a lesser team, like my Clips, and then go for the big bucks once he turns 23-24 after his game has fully developed.

Well it looks like any Chicago PG to Denver for the 3rd pick deal is out now. The only way I see Denver still doing a deal is if they throw Eddy Curry as the player to go with the 7th pick.

 

I know it is a lofty comparision, but I really see a young Kevin Garnett in Chris Bosh, and although Toronto has Carter and Davis I would still take Bosh because I think he has the most potential to be a superstar player, and since there's only 5 spots instead of the 22 for football, you almost always have to take the best player.

The Raptors need an inside presence like Rasheed Wallace. I’m not sure if more rookies is what they need at this point.

Can I have a second team ? Give me New York. I won't do what Layden did, which is screw up a Draft.

 

Unless...

 

Bravesfan,

 

Would you consider giving up Chicago ?

Scratch the Wolves for me. I'm not up on the draft enough, and don't have enough interest to do so.

There is a rumor that the Knicks are looking to trade their 9th pick along with Spreewell to the Sixers for Van Horn or possibly to the Raptors for a package with Jerome Williams or Antonio Davis.

Is there any other player in the world that will average 20 pts and 10 boards a game and be so unliked by GMS as Keith Van Horn. This guy gets thrashed because he isn't a superstar. Everyone isn't meant to be superstars.

I think the fact that he's a white shooter, everyone expects the next Larry Bird. At least, teams still want him and he still has trading value.

Hmmm its looking doubtful the mock draft will get off the ground here and I'm moving this week so if it starts and I'm not around when my pick comes up (#11 and #40) somebody can just choose for me.

I think it's alot harder to do a mock NBA draft when you really don't know anything about half the players in the draft. With the NFL you at least know and maybe follow the players while they're in college.

Guest Smell the ratings!!!

I think the NBA draft will be like the board's NFL draft. remember when Kelly Washington went like 8th or something? That is totally going to happen.

I'll take the Washington Wizards.

 

 

By the way, where does everybody think Corey Magettie is going to end up next year? I'd like to see him in a Wiz uniform.

While that was obviously too high for Washington, you have to remember that THE expert Kiper had Steinbach, Washington, and Weathersby in the 1st round. Obviously Weathersby was an outside circumstance but it really shows that we all are "experts" to a certain degree. :P
