Official 2012 NBA Draft Thread

Lamb is projected #11 on DraftExpress.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

PF IMO

could probably play center, but is better suited for PF (like Al Horford is)

This I agree with.

Thought it was a good question because everyone has a different opinion.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

well quite frankly I'm an idiot.

Lol at least you admit it

 

[The Young One]

Chad Ford dropped a article or blurb or w/e about Barnes potentially dropping in the draft.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Yeah it wasn't much. Basically just talked about how he can't score off the dribble and how his stock is falling but he's still #2 on his board right now.

 

[The Young One]

But imo that's a huge knock. He doesn't look any different from what he did last year. He's not a great athlete and seeing MKG outplay him again has me worried if he's the best wing in this draft.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

For some reason I feel as though MKG might stay. He's a good kid.

 

[elcheato]

Would have a chance to go a lot higher in a draft not as stacked as this one in 2013 as well.

ugh, come on Celts... we need a better pick than that

 

[RipCity32]

Boston will probably make the playoffs when it is all said and done.

 

[Pugz]

boston and dallas arent going lottery.

 

[bosoxlover12]

im hoping for tanking...

why try to make the playoffs? we WONT win it all

 

[Pugz]

now you feel our pain of the last six years. lol

Luckily Ainge is smarter than Dumars, so hopefully he doesnt do something stupid like extending KG

 

[Pugz]

at least extending him to a big contract. that was the only downfall of extending rip.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

boston and dallas arent going lottery.

I could see alot of that change as the season goes on. The Hornets will be better when we're healthy, I really think Charlotte is better than that. Minnesota will fall as they start facing better teams, and like you said Boston and Dallas aren't going to be in the lottery.

 

[Pugz]

the hornets really arent as good as you think lol but if they wanna drop further down the lottery its not hurting me

 

[jonathanlambert33]

It's hard for anyone to say how good or bad the Hornets are considering we haven't been healthy the entire year. Our starting 5 hasn't even played together yet, including preseason. We've had two players leave the team for a week because of deaths in the family.

When Jarrett Jack, Eric Gordon, and Trevor Ariza haven't even practiced together yet it's impossible to judge a team.

But still, when the Hornets are healthy and put all of their guys like Jack, Gordon, Ariza, Landry, Okafor, Kaman, and a few other good role players on the floor together can you honestly say we're as bad as teams like Washington, Detroit, Toronto, Jersey, etc?

 

[Pugz]

not really lol. the team will be decent but they still arent a playoff team, yet.
