2010 NBA Draft Talk Thread

Jordan Crawford is gonna be a beast for the Hawks. Who can honestly tell me there were 23 more talented basketball players than him in this draft?

This is a quoteable. Except he was taken 27th lol

Right, I forgot he was traded. I knew the Hawks had the 24th pick.

Well, actually it kinda is still 23 players in the Hawks mind, because he's basically there pick at 24, they just picked the guy New Jersey wanted, so they could make the trade. But whatever. LOL

unless he was saying hes top 5 material

 

[$tunna]

Forget that...how can anybody tell me they were 60 players better than sherron, manny,jerome, and jon.

The PG draft was last year lol. but yeah not many teams looking for PGs in the second round. They'll find a team tho and take the Wes Matthews Route

 

[The Young One]

Another part that gets me down...is that I know in a year..our pg will be here.

I hate this one and done rule. This <Censored> needs to be changed.

 

[$tunna]

Well next year I'll have to watch UGA's two best players go lotto.

Haha, well good correction, that was my bad. But seriously, Jordan Crawford is a steal for the Hawks. I know GMs weren't looking at him highly, but the guy can play the game. He's an excellent replacement, considering Joe Johnson is pretty much gone (check my dream scenario below LOL).

 

[$tunna]

Smh bks lol. We still got a chance. But our GM says that Jordan "isn't a replacement" for JJ.

Your GM can say whatever he wants, but Crawford will be a nice starting two guard for a while in Atlanta.

Ed Davis? Pretty tall.

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

Ed Davis? Pretty tall.

...and pretty skinny.

 

[Pugz]

Ed Davis? Pretty tall.

6'10, 7'5 wingspan. 225 pounds, needs to gain muscle if hes going to play the four.

 

[Rios15]

I see. It's funny how he said his favourite player was Chris Bosh before the draft.

I hope you're right.

Kings have to sign Jerome Randle.

WINNER: Sacramento Kings

The Kings landed the big man they coveted in Kentucky center DeMarcus Cousins, who believes he is the best player in the draft. Cousins, who measures 6-foot-10, 292 pounds, has the talent and size to become an All-Star. Questions persist about his coach-ability and conditioning, but he appears motivated to prove himself.

Kings assistant coaches Mario Elie and Truck Robinson won’t be afraid to hold Cousins accountable. Cousins also has legitimate competition for the starting center job in newcomer Samuel Dalembert(notes).

More good news for the Kings: Cousins wanted to play for the Kings. At least for now, Sacramento’s newest addition sounds motivated and energized.

Olajuwon said he thinks it would be a mistake for a team to pick Whiteside and then send him to the D league in the same fashion that Memphis did with Thabeet last season.

"I was shocked Memphis made that decision," Olajuwon said. "That was the wrong move. If you are a big guy, you need to play. Give the boy a chance so that he can develop confidence. By sending him to the D league you are demoralizing him. Give him the opportunity. Being a shot blocker is enough to keep him on the floor. Give him time. That was wrong. It is not the right move. Give him time to develop."

"I have talent that's there, but I just have the mentality right now that I just want to be the greatest. And I don't think that any other player has that right now."

"DeMarcus is not even close to being what he's going to be. It'll be really, really scary to see what he can become."

so I see Detroit got another beastin Hoya
