Official 2014 NBA Draft Day thread

i feel like nobody slipped really, top 7 were the best 7 guys

You think Gordon and broken Embiid belong in the "best 7"?

 

[KingSpeed]

Yawn

 

[3RA1N1AC]

pissed the lakers got randle...WTF

 

[BrianFromWA]

McDermott's been rumored to CHA since about February.

 

[Hobbesarable]

I know they said they aren't trading, but Stauskas at 8 to SAC still keeps alive a Stauskas-for-Rondo swap. Smart/Stauskas is a decent backcourt.

Yeah, Smart as the pg defensive specialist and Stauskas as the scorer.

i had gordon #7, and embid is a real solid #3, if not higher

so yeah

Woj has gone quiet.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Of Bilas' 10 best available, I think Rodney Hood is the guy I'd most want the Blazers to go up and get (if they were going to do something).

I'm cautious of guys who say "forget the surgery, I'll rehab it back to goodness" on foot injuries. Sure it may work (Brandon Roy Talus Bone) but I think you're rolling the dice pretty hard on needing a surgery about 2 minutes after you finally come back from rehab.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

never like vonleh, seems like a workout wonder

The Charlotte Hornets will select Noah Vonleh with the No. 9 pick.

McDermott's been rumored to CHA since about February.

If that happens, get ready for a bunch of A_am Morrison comparisons...

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Vonleh going #9

 

[BrianFromWA]

And the Joe Dumars highlight board starts up early today! Sure, I'll dump a lotto pick and Ben Gordon's contract for a washed-up Corey Maggette!

They found where he was hiding, but he was greased up and managed to slip the grip of security, he is now in a new location.

randle is a double double machine im afraid to say, lakers lucked out

Potentially that'll be a tough froncourt with Jefferson and Vonleh.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Vonleh - Zeller frontcourt of the future

 

[BrianFromWA]

the TV in the bar's on mute...WTF were the LMA highlights for? Are they comparing Vonleh to LMA?

Source who spoke with KLove says he would definitely "100 pct" stay in Cleveland longterm if LeBron is there

Vonleh compared himself to LaMarcus.

Blazers traded Aldridge for vonleh

Vonleh just compared himself to LMA, too.

but that was only so they could get out of gordons last year of salary and sign josh smith to a huge deal! so double win!

 

[cmeese47]

If someone takes McDermott before the Jazz they might cry they need their token white guy

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Dan Patrick show had a "McDermott comparison" draft today, based on the assumption that NBA analysts will invariably compare him to another white guy.
