2008 NBA Draft Thread

[Whisper]

Still too early to say 06 was bad for the Nets even though it was two years ago. Williams still has a lot of untapped potential, he's had the luxury of playing and learning playing behind Kidd, but now he still has to wait for some shine because of Harris. Boone is a banger down low that has shown he can cause some damage with his defense.

I just don't know how you say the Nets have done better in the last 3 drafts, and keeping guys around, and drafting needs. The Blazers needed Roy and Aldridge badly, needed Oden badly, and got Bayless who they needed. Also they have kept a lot of those guys around until recently when they traded McRoberts.

Agreed, but I'm just saying the Blazers have done better.

Plus being behind Harris, is not too good, seeing as how he is really young.

Aldridge and Roy have been great. Oden is unproven in the NBA and Bayless was a good pickup. But with more picks and trades made, shouldn't the Blazers have a better draft?

Well they did go on like a huge winning streak last year, and they drafted Rush, which I loved, but it was smarter trading him for a guy who can play PG for them in the future. And i'm with you on the unproven Oden thing, but I'm just crossing my fingers that he is no dud, and that seems unlikely.

Don Nelson and Mullin said Randolph was the guy they wanted for weeks now and could no way pass up taking him.

Asked whom Gallinari reminded him of, D'Antoni said, "If you're dreaming, it's (Dirk) Nowitzki and (Toni) Kukoc," D'Antoni said. "If it's a nightmare, it's someone else."

Not really, I just try to stick up for the ones I like, which is a lot.

I like Portland, and he said New Jersey has been doing better in the drafts, I disagreed...not sure thats complaining, but IDC.

I just read on Anthony Randolph's profile on NBA.com that his favorite NBA team is the Lakers
obviously not anymore...
