I actually had Gay tipped to go to the Wolves I think, although thinking back, I cant remember why, considering they have Ricky D at SF, guess I was thinking they were going to try and develop McCants some more, obviously not.
Ronnie Brewer would be a good fit in Seattle since they are probably going to lose Rashard Lewis. He'd be a solid pick here.
Saer Sene? What the hell? They already have Johan Petro and Robert Swift. Big mistake by passing up Brewer, Carney etc.
BREWER! BREWER!BREWER!BREWER!BREWER!BREWER!BREWER!BREWER! BREWER!BREWER!BREWER!BREWER!BREWER!BREWER!BREWER! BREWER!BREWER!BREWER!BREWER!BREWER!BREWER!BREWER! BREWER!BREWER!BREWER!BREWER!BREWER!BREWER!BREWER! BREWER!BREWER!BREWER!BREWER!BREWER!BREWER! Don't mess up Utah!
Isiah does it again by picking a guy who at the most would be a second rounder. Marcus should be a lock for one of Jersey's picks.
Biggest draft mistake so far is Saer Sene at 10 in my opinion. Or New York taking Renaldo Balkman at 20. Kyle Lowry goes to Memphis at pick #24.
Also why the hell did Chicago trade Rodney Carney!? Thabo Sefolosha is going to be a garunteed bust. Did they manage to aquire anything else in the trade?
