2011 NBA Draft Official Discussion Thread

How did Minny lose? They took the best/2nd best player in the draft and then just completely got out of it

They took the 2nd best player, and there is no question that Williams is a talented combo forward. But don't they have enough of those guys already? Guys who can play the 3 and/or 4? Kevin Love, Michael Beasley, Martell Webster, Wesley Johnson, Lazar Hayward, Anthony Randolph, and Anthony Tolliver. Minnesota would have been better served taking the talent and potential of Enes Kanter since they need C help.

and then of course they added yet MORE picks when they have said a number of times that they are to young and need to get some veteran talent.

 

[The Young One]

Beasley will probably be shipped out.....


Either ways I like what we did with our draft got a skilled euro with a nice post game and a rebounding kid from temple.


3 Jayhawks taken..Im good.

D-Will is going to be better than all of em but Love

 

[The Young One]

D-Will is going to be better than all of em but Love

Yup you got it right BC...out of all the guys in this draft D-Will has the most potential star power. Him and KI

 

[Elite]

I personally think that Kyrie is going to be better than D-Will but the majority of America disagrees

It's going to be very difficult to ship Beasley out of there.

Kevin Love, Michael Beasley, Martell Webster, Wesley Johnson, Lazar Hayward, Anthony Randolph, and Anthony Tolliver

beasley and hayward are the only real guys i can see that being applicable to
not every undersized power forward can be consider a small forward

Not really

It might be hard to get something of value for him, but to just move him wouldn't be hard at all

Teams are going to take a flyer on a former #2 overall pick, especially one that has performed better than guys like Darko and Kwame Brown who still found teams to play for

 

[.loggie]

agreed
beasley was never a bad player
he's an average player with a below average work ethic

 

[$tunna]

I guess I'm still alone in the camp of thinking BK will not be a good NBA PG..

You're definitely alone on this one lol

So you don't think Randolph and Tolliver can play the 3 and 4? :huh2:

BTW, I said guys that can play the 3 and/or the 4.

They aren't going to move him just to move him, they're going to try and get something in return and overvalue him in the process.

I don't really care about Rudy Fernandez, he's been nothing special, and never really saw why so many Bulls fans wanted him.

Finally someone that sees the truth. He really is nothing special, plus he's coming off a god awful season. I mean if this was after his rookie season I would understand the hype but he's been in the league for 3 seasons and hasn't done shit, he's had opportunities to step up (see 2009-10 playoffs) but choked in the spotlight.

Who knows, maybe he'll turn it around in Dallas, but as of right now I don't understand why Mavs fans are so excited to get him (did they watch him play the first round of the playoffs?) or why Bulls fans wanted him so badly.

 

[ZigZag]

The Maloofs are the biggest fools in California. Trading our starting PG for yet ANOTHER wing player so now we have Tyreke, Thornton, Cassi, Garcia, Greene, Salmons, and Daniels (that's 7) while our only two PGs are Pooh Jeter and Jimmer.

And if they think Jimmer will sell tickets... smh. People go to see wins or amazing plays, none of which Jimmer brings to the table.

 

[elcheato]

The Wolves got a guy in the 2nd round who lied about his age. They said he was 22, and apparently he's like 27 lmfao

 

[RipCity32]

Only in Minnesota lol.

Bogdanovic?

 

[elcheato]

Targuy Ngombo, he was drafted by the Mavs for the Wolves

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

Oh... LOL

Whatever, doubt, we ever hear that name again.
