oh, Yannick

[Akomplice]

Ton of nice rotation players here, should be quite a lot of second round steals I think. Morris Almond the next Allan Houston BABY. It's sad to say that I don't love a foreign player though...

[coleworld]

Adam Morrison FTW!

[Hammer-Time]

Roy, Bargs, Foye(kinda) Millsap
anything else jump nice at ya? aside from the wild card

[Akomplice]

Al Jefferson
Rajon Rondo

Those you missed.

[GhostOfBrian]

How could you have missed Denham fucking Brown.

I think fucking is his legal middle name.

[Akomplice]

I can see Dee Brown being good here. Why? Because SSBL4 PG drafts have been crazy.

[GhostOfBrian]

hehe... Dee Brown could've actually been a solid NBA PG had he not gotten hurt. Reminded me of Bobby Jackson. Superior speed, good jumper.

[Akomplice]

Yeah that injury really screwed things up for him, coming off that championship game he could have gone late first like Luther at least.

Am I also wrong in thinking that Sergio can have A++ handle? I mean whats a Derrick Zimmerman?

[Brandon]

Rondo = yes.

[kmatrixg]

Considering I need a PF, I'm drooling even without my 1st this year. Maybe I can buy it back considering it could be garbage.

[Ollie]

Some good players there, not the deepest draft this year though. Hope I can be in the position to pick up someone who can help us next season.

[heelsguy25]

What a weak draft. Out of the top 10 not much there.

[kmatrixg]

There are quite a few college stars in this draft, that had a ton of potential coming into the NBA. I can remember when PJ Tucker was a definite mid first.

[Hammer-Time]

Tucker was a fucking pimp in college

[Akomplice]

I remember doing the radio show for RealGM for the draft and when the Knicks took Balkman I literally dropped the phone and was speechless. Everyone automatically assumed that we would have selected Marcus Williams

[kmatrixg]

I'm really liking this draft. Just gave up my rental car for the night, house to myself, FBB on my lap, the TV over there... this draft file is toast.

[runngunallday]

Rondooooo

[kmatrixg]

Now that I'm looking at it all in one place, this draft doesn't have too many standout top picks, but plenty of middle 1st fodder. Pretty deep IMO

[Brandon]

There are a lot of players who can become instant contributors. I'm salivating over Roy and Ellis though.

[Hammer-Time]

God monta looks like a beast...

[coleworld]

Monta=GOD holy crap lol

[kmatrixg]

Then what's Roy? ROY?

[Ollie]

Good job

[GhostOfBrian]

Agreed on Monta. He looks ridiculous good for a 19 year old. Cook too imo.

All-in-all, great job though Stephens

[m00sey22]

Rondo looks pretty nice too

[dukefan]

so all these guys declared already?
