It'd be real interesting if the Cavs got Kyrie and Perry. That'd be a beast combo

 

[dcpwner]

this is a solid draft class

 

[Giantmetfan07]

this is definitely a very solid class but I think it lacks a little size once you get past 1-10 picks.

Nice to see Kemba a top-10. I have a feeling Jimmer will get selected before him and Kemba could drop to like 13 or 14 but I think Kemba will be the better NBA player.

Curious to see who you got going to the Knicks. I saw one mock draft somewhere on the .net with them taking a SF which made 0 sense to me. I'd rather see them pick a guy whose projected low-1st, early 2nd if he's a Center, lol.

You guys don't have a 1st round pick this year.

 

[elcheato]

Kyrie and Perry would be pretty awesome

 

[Mexi]

the Whole Enchilada from La Mirada Derrick Williams impresses me

otherwise i've only heard of Irving, Kemba, Sullinger, and Barnes

I'm hoping the Wolves get Irving and Wizards get the whole enchilada from La Mirada....

 

[The Young One]

If the wolves drafted Kyrie..that would just basically admit the organization screwed up with Rubio.

 

[Mexi]

who cares

 

[Elite]

Rubio doesn't want to play in Minny, it's pretty obvious

Not to mention he's not even a good euro-league player, he'd be shit in the NBA

the rockets can swap with them and then the knicks end up with a draft pick. but the likely hood of that happening are slim. lol

he was told to play a different game this season and work on his strength and other intangibles, hence the decline in production..

 

[Elite]

Doesn't change the fact that he can't shoot to save his life

 

[Pugz]

neither can rondo and hes a top point in the league..

 

[Elite]

Rondo is also an excellent defender and is leading the league in assists. Rubio isn't a good defender and he is never going to lead the league in assists. Rubio hasn't even performed all that well in his Euro career

 

[RipCity32]

Needless to say if we take Valanciunas, I'm on suicide watch.
Horrible compliment to Monroe.

What makes him a horrible compliment?

and...

Who would you rather select?

 

[RipCity32]

He doesn't have a back to the basket game.
Next to Monroe, we need a rebound and defender, and also isn't afraid to bang in the post.

Anyone but him.

You sure your not thinking of Motiejunas, the other big from Lithuania? That's what it sounds like to me, or you just don't know much about Valanciunas.

Valanciunas has a very versatile game, he can face the basket and hit jumps out to 12 feet or he can play in the post. He is a also a pretty solid rebounder, grabbing more than 5 a game in less than 15 minutes of action.

In 2009 he averaged 19.6 points, 10.6 boards, and 2.6 blocks per game against Enes Kanter in the European Championships, then in the next summer he averaged 19.4 points, 13.4 rebounds, and 2.7 blocks the next summer, and one tourny MVP.

He'll have a learning curve, just like most NBA bigs (especially foreign) but the dude has a chance to be something special. Some mocks have him gone in the top 3.

Detroit doesn't want the possibility of another Darko.

When you finishing this??
