Maybe we're going to get Clark.
oh OK then that makes sense. yeah i'm not sure he's a PG. i think evans would be best utilized as a SG who handles sometimes. not a fulltime PG.
nets take terrance williams. bank on it.
i told you the bucks would draft a PG.
It's surreal to me that Lawrence Frank is still the coach in NJ.
called it. i love this kid and hate to see him go to NJ. stud athlete, hard worker, good defender, good range. versatile.
damn. would've been nice if he slipped to us.
the draft is tonight? WTF?
No one ever tells me shit.
James Johnson and Earl Clark are both still on the board with 4 picks left...
If either one is there at #15, we got ourselves a steal.
Worst-case, I think we get Mullins, and that will be ok.
I thought this was a mock thingy
why is ESPN's draft tracker still listing mcdyess and rasheed as potential starters for us?
outside chance we get dice back in there. but sheed? grow a brain. that ain't happening. he'll sign in cleveland. or somewhere other than motown.

I'd take Blair, but I haven't followed this at all.
I was wondering about that same thing, HW. First time it popped up, I noticed McDyess and got confused. I didn't even notice Sheed was still on there. How much worse would that look if it said Maxiell and Brown?! UGH
We know you'd take Blair, you Pitt fan. :)
He makes Thabeet pee on himself.
i'd be VERY happy with either clark or johnson. johnson was my guy i wanted for a long time. but clark is a really good versatile talent too.
i love blair too and he'd be a great pick IMO. ditto for teague although he'd have to be a BPA situation which is very possible.
but obviously PG is not as great a need as other positions. i could get on board with it for sure, assuming we make other moves in the trade market too.
Well, Indiana with Granger at SF is a safe choice not to take Clark or Johnson, so that leaves charlotte and phoenix as obstacles.
HOLY SHIT JORDAN FUCKED UP AGAIN
oh man...we're going to get Clark or James Johnson. Please Joe or once take advantage of someone else's draft day stupidity.
blair is a beast. the knees are a question. but he can come in from day 1 and be a great rebounder and defender and solid post presence. even if he flames out in 4 or 5 years.....he will have been a good value for the amount you'd have to pay him with the #15 pick. a couple million a season at most....?
BARGAIN! blair could definitely work, but i think it'll be clark or johnson.
I don't question Blair's game. I question his health.
If he were healthy, he'd have been a top-10 pick.
bobcats just drafted trajon langdon part II. not as good a shooter though.....
come on Indy...we know you dont need a SF. Take Lawson.

He's much more like Donhtay Jones. You don;t even need to change the schools.
Charlotte out of the way. We'll have the option of one of the two. I would think Phoenix would take one of them since Hill is getting older and Barnes being a FA. They could go for a PG with Nash getting old, even though they have Barbosa.
yeah but he's played with his knees like this for a few years and never missed a game. over an 82 game season it could be an issue. but the docs seem to be relatively OK on it for now. after a few years? maybe a different story.Quote:

it's a big gamble but, in theory, it could make sense. a short career would still make him a good pick. unless of course he missed time in those early years too.
who knows...
Except Dice fucked up his knees late in his career. He didnt get drafted with them.
come on, Indy. Lawson...lawson...
...or Hansborough, that works too!
yeah true- but i was thinking of a dukies BUST who was drafted at that spot. i think jones is at least a serviceable player. a much better comparison as far as abilities, yes. but i think henderson is a guy who will be out of the league in 3-5 years.Quote:

lol @ the "overrated" chants.
damn, Joe lucked out.
lol- hansbrough is a tool. however he'll be the new jeff foster for the pacers and probably outhustle all our bigs.
Hansbrough will be a quality player. He;s perfect for Indiana's system, too.
He plays his best in a fast tempo, and indy runs as fast as any.
phoenix throws a curve and takes either teague or mullens. watch.
Yeah, he won't be a star in the league, but he's going to be a solid hustle player off the bench. Doesn't make it a bad pick at all.
I think we would take Johnson over Clark, but it would be awesome to have the choice.
