[Hammer-Time]

not great but still a decent draft

[dukefan]

booooo!!!! i want last years draft class@!

[kmatrixg]

NO PICKS AVAILABLE FROM THE RAPTORS it's official

[Akomplice]

Wildcard gonna count a lot in determining where this draft stands.

[kmatrixg]

All I care about is that Dwight is in this class... It gives me a shot - that's why I love it.

Ha Sueng Jin!

Heh, ugliest basketball player since Tyrone Hill...

[kmatrixg]

^^^ High school glamor, even in China these days

[Akomplice]

Eddy Curry probably going to be no joke in this league, three years of college to polish his game? Man that's a problem...

[runngunallday]

eddy curry is going to be a beast. hes what 7'0 400lbs.. B+ inside. yeah..

and ha sueng jin is pretty fugly but that kid can BALL. hes a superstar in the making. popeye jones was probably the ugliest player of all time though.

[ib4]

um, Ha is South-Korean...

and like all Korean/Chinese tall ball players..has knee issues..He cant ball lol

[kmatrixg]

If they showed a picture of a Canadian and an American in Asia...it'd be the same problem.

hmm, racist

[kmatrixg]

oh boooo

[ib4]

I'm cutting back on the draft prospects...the past few years i made a good 80~85 prospects (even some real life busts that COULD HAVE had a chance here in SSBL...) but ended up being undrafted anyway...so...what's the point..gonna just focus on 60~65 from here on. happy trails

[kmatrixg]

Sounds good - PMing you now..

60-65 is cool but every once in a while you need to make that 80-90 strong class because the free agent crop is gonna keep getting smaller and smaller if there's only a handful of undrafted players every single year.

[Akomplice]

I remember one day thinking Stepp was going to be a problem because of how good he looked at Gonzaga.

[GhostOfBrian]

I wonder how you'll make Romain Sato. He's a star overseas. Bulls and Mavs looked into bringing him in this last NBA offseason.

He will probably be this year's Marko Jaric hahaha

[yesisme1]

I just hope there is a good player around the middle of the draft. Probably wishful thinking
