Zombie 2012 NBA Draft

[LOTBfan]

Like I said, somethings in life have always taken me from zero to fight in seconds flat ... that phrase is one of them for some reason.

Moving on ...

I think it is a pretty standard rule now that as an adult, you shouldn't really feel too offended by people who need to abbreviate 3 and 4 letter words still.

Red-flagged just today about his knee - meniscus issues

Sounds good

A meniscus tear isn't the end of the world. And at twenty or so taking an injury risk isn't quite the big deal it is when you are trying to get a franchise player in the early lottery -- you can gamble later on (see:Blair, Dejuan) if he fails to stay healthy then it's no big deal because the guy you would drafted there otherwise isn't likely to be a huge difference maker anyway.

 

[Blazinaway]

PJ3 has a knee that was red-flagged.

Crowder/Taylor/Wroten would be good options.

how bad is it?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Moultrie, Jones 3, Wroten, Miller, Crowder, Taylor. Man, any of those guys would be awesome

He also has issues when it comes to what position he's going to play

Too many problems for me.

I like Moultrie here or later if he falls

Yup. I mean, they're no Soup Juggler (dammit, I was looking forward to that) but still ...

 

[BrianFromWA]

I wouldn't mind Wroten

Is there really a point though when you have Lillard? They'll just cut into each others development time.

Not really. If Lillard's the PG, Wroten at 6'6 can play combo guard and defend the bigger backcourt player.

 

[OregonHuskerMan]

I don't give a f#ck if his knee was red-flagged.

Sully's back was red-flagged, he still got drafted.

PJ3 is a specimen. In the mid 20's you can risk all-star caliber potential vs. injury.

Wroten would be solid, even though we have Lillard, because we still need to address backup PG (unless you believe Nolan is good enough), and could end up being very, very good.

Ideally, I'd like starter potential in the mid 20's over role player/bench player.

PJ3, Wroten, Teague, all offer that.

Chad Ford ‏@chadfordinsider
The Grizzlies will select the Tony Wroten with the 25th pick according to sources

 

[The_Lillard_King]

I'm glad I don't need you guys to agree with me. Blazer brass does

I'm willing to bet I log more minutes watching college games over the years than 90% of the people on here. Just sayin.

Great, but that doesn't make everyone else ignorant. Those who don't like Leonard may be wrong but to declare it ignorance and that all posters think is big 7 footer, unathletic is wrong. Beleive it or not posters can have very legit reason not to like the pick.

And watching games isn't the end all be all that make you so much better than the rest. You probably watched every minute of Adam Morrison's entire college career and how did that prediction go? Just sayin

 

[Nikolokolus]

Too many problems for me.

Sure, I'm not saying, "OMG, get this guy at all cost!" I just think he's a gamble worth taking in the bottom third of the first round ... unless you can wait even longer and take a flier in the second.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA
Dallas will select Jared Cunningham with the 24th pick, source tells Y! Sports.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Not really. If Lillard's the PG, Wroten at 6'6 can play combo guard and defend the bigger backcourt player.

Especially since Lillard is a great shooter, Wroten could work well with him.

 

[RoyToy]

Not really. If Lillard's the PG, Wroten at 6'6 can play combo guard and defend the bigger backcourt player.

Maybe off the bench?

He'd be almost useless without the ball in his hands. His shooting is laughable.

FUCK!

 

[OregonHuskerMan]

^ Moultrie would be appreciated as well.

 

[South East]

Hope the Blazers can pull in a pick and get Jeff Taylor. He would be a great pickup and will come in ready on day 1.

 

[MickZagger]

Calling a guy who is athletic as it gets for a 7 footer a 'white stiff' is ignorant.

I was 19 when I called Morrison. I'd say I've matured just a tad bit as a couch scout.

 

[Blazinaway]

if you are talkin Perry Jones I totally agree, low risk here and high reward, I'd love to take a shot at him late 1st rd

 

[RoyToy]

Are people still Quincy Miller fans?

For the right price, better than Babbitt.

Crowder or Taylor would be great.

definitely worth a shot as well

OK if you say so. And I guess you extend that to all posters that hate on Leonard are ignorant (which is what I took issue with)

Maybe in another 6 years you can look back and reflect how calling posters ignorant for not agreeing with you was . . . well ignorant.

I hope Leonard works out... but how many "project centers with athleticism" have worked out in the NBA?

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Lebron's tweeting about wanting Ray Allen to play for the Heat. Since Allen is still under contract, is that technically tampering?

Could be. Stern has been looking for an excuse to smack the Heat back a bit, this could be his in.

 

[blazerboy30]

Take the risk on PJIII. I'd also love to get Crowder.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt
The Grizz will take Washington's Tony Wroten at 25, and the Pacers will take Duke's Miles Plumlee, per sources

 

[BalancedMan]

Plumlee is going next.

I'd go crazy if we can buy a pick and get PJ3 and then get Crowder in the 2nd round. Damn that'd be awesome.
