Re: NBA Draft Thread
I dont watch pro ball much anymore...more college. I am surprised Sullinger has dropped from being so high early on to not so much now. What happened? Injury?

Re: NBA Draft Thread
NBA doctors are saying he has really tight muscles in his hamstrings and back that may lead to future injuries, something that scared a lot of teams. Anyone who picks him are going to get a real steal in a player that has a bright future if he has no serious injuries.duckfan96 wrote:I dont watch pro ball much anymore...more college.

Guess not. Maybe Drummond or Rivers fall to 11 and still get a chance at one of them.

Probably going to be Leonard or Zeller.bellsduck wrote:bellsduck wrote:Who's next? T Ross?greenyellow wrote:Looks like things have shaped up for Portland to take Lillard.

Nope. Oh well. Not excited about any of the remaining possibilities to tell you the truth. Suppose they could go Leonard, but still not excited as reports are he's not very basketball smart.

Re: NBA Draft Thread
Portland got Leonard. Probably the best that could be had at that point though since they needed another post player.

I give that pick a big thumbs down. Don't really feel like he is anything more then a off the bench guy.

He's got potential down the road but right now he's probably in need of a couple years of growth before we see any final product.buckmarkduck wrote:I give that pick a big thumbs down. Don't really feel like he is anything more then a off the bench guy.

Re: NBA Draft Thread
This has kind of been a boring draft since just about everything has gone as expected and there haven't been many trades.

That medical report about his damaged meniscus really hurt him. Him going to OKC could be scary if he develops and stays healthy.UOducksTK1 wrote:Perry Jones fell really far.

Re: NBA Draft Thread
Really wish Portland had taken Barnes. I'm not thrilled about the lillard pick at all
