The 2011 NBA Draft Thread

Im glad to see Bismack get picked so high, if hes another Ben Wallace whoever he lands with will be happy.

[Chrispy]

About to get me one

I thought he's going to Sactown?

Don't think so, the Kings got the 10th pick. I think the bobcats kept their 9th pick.

The Kings will get guard John Salmons from Milwaukee and the 10th pick in the draft. Charlotte will hold onto the No. 9 pick, and with the trade of Gerald Wallace to Portland last season and now of Jackson to the Bucks, the Bobcats have resigned themselves to rebuilding through the draft.

I think one of the announcers for espn said he was but he isn't.

[Juggernaut]

Wow, so Sactown got Jimmer instead of Walker?

Lame.

[Chrispy]

Yeah

[Herm]

im liking this Utah draft adding Kanter and Burks to the pieces they already have.

[Rudi]

Cavs really should have taken Williams, then could have gotten Knight with the 4 pick. God damnit. Fuck Cleveland.

[EmpireWF]

Not in love with the pick of Shumpert for the Knicks. Sure, he's a defensive minded guard but with Singleton and even Faried still on the board?

I guess they figure Shumpert can get more PT than Singleton (who's mainly a 3) and they need a back-up PG even though he's more of a 2.

Hopefully they can get a second pick somewhere along the line and add some size.

lol @ the ESPN woman getting Landry Fields' name wrong. Even Spike gave her a look like, "you srs?"

Wall > Knight
Kanter > Cousins.

Calipari would tell you the same.

Wall > Knight
Kanter > Cousins.

Calipari would tell you the same.

I would say the same as well.

[Point Blank]

HAMILTON!

[Point Blank]

Why did they trade him, wtf?

[NAHSTE]

I would say the same as well.

Have you actually seen Enes Kanter play? I didn't realize it was possible given that he's the rarest artifact of deepest darkest Eastern Europe.

[Awesometrax]

fuck yea i love the thompson pick. id rather take an american who played at a big time university than some fucker from east europe. also he can come in right away and develop at the same time as irving. it will be interesting to see if come trade deadline hickson or anderson get traded

Thompson's Canadian dude... though it's as close to being American that you can possibly get.
