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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Perry Jones fell really far.

That medical report about his damaged meniscus really hurt him. Him going to OKC could be scary if he develops and stays healthy.

Really wish Portland had taken Barnes. I'm not thrilled about the lillard pick at all
