NBA Draft '11

[SuperKevin]

The draft deadline is coming this Sunday. Here are the top players that haven't committed. Any chance that one of them is a last second commit?

1) Jared Sullinger, Ohio State F
2) Perry Jones, Baylor F
3) Tristan Thompson, Texas F
4) John Henson, North Carolina F

I don't think any of them will declare. The threat of the lockout is too much.

 

[SuperKevin]

The two most realistic prospects to watch before the deadline are Klay Thompson and Alec Burks. Both are 1st round talents in my opinions with Burks being a fringe lottery pick.

 

[Herm]

Burks and Tristan Thompson both declared for the draft.

 

[G-men]

the Heat need to draft a big guy who can actually get it done on the boards. my dream situation is Faried slipping to them at 31.

No chance there. It's actually a pretty weak big man draft this year.

same thing i was thinking while looking at the prospects. theres no true PG either, so it looks like the Heat will just be getting a bench shooter.

 

[SuperKevin]

It's all combo guards and finesse forwards in this draft

as a whole no true PG?

If Brandon Knight decides to go, there is your true PG

 

[SuperKevin]

Kemba Walker will be a great pick for anyone needing a boost in the PG position.

Except he's not really a PG. He's more of a Ben Gordon or Monta Ellis kind of player.

Nah, I wouldn't say that the kid can do just about everything plus he is brilliant. He gave Kentucky exactly what Wall did but more in the shooting department and less in speed, but he can still get down the floor when he wants to.

I was talking about Kemba Walker. Brandon Knight is the real deal. I like him even more than Kyrie Irving.

If I want a true PG though I'm waiting until 2012.

Where do you guys think Kemba will be drafted to? He's the only player I'm really interested in this year.

He's a mid/late lottery pick so it's hard to tell right now until the lotto is set. I could see him in Utah to provide offense they lost when they traded Deron Williams

i meant theres no true PG where Miami is picking at 31. if the Heat could actually get Knight i would be ecstatic but thats obviously not happening.

Don't they have Devin Harris?

I looked, seems like he's falling to 14. I wouldn't mind the Knicks trading their 17 and something small to trade up to land him.

they've got some good momentum going to make that deal :marshmellow:

Keep it in the beef thread, cunt.

Devin Harris plays the role of traditional PG and contributor while Kemba Walker is instant offense and speeds up the pace

Harris is anything like a traditional point, he dominates the ball on offense and hardly passes.

Kemba might be a good spark off the bench, yet there's no way I'd play both of them at the same time due to height issues.

 

[SuperKevin]

I'm going to be upset when Washington takes one of the two Euros in the top 5. Both players really don't give us anything that we don't already get from McGee and Blatche. If we had to take one of them I'd rather get Motiejunas for his ability to create mismatches on the perimeter.

It sucks. The Wizards biggest needs in my opinion are physical post players and perimeter shooters and this draft seems to be weak at both spots
