2009 NBA Draft

i'll vomit if we take hansbrough in round one. if we take him at #15 i might throw myself into oncoming traffic.

and no way i'd want lawson over teague...or about 4 or 5 other PGs.

but beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

I'll take the guy that's met every challenge and beaten it.

You do not do what Hansborough did without being an NBA-quality player.

He'll be gone before any of the others I listed though, so its a long shot.

Hermy, you are correct.

But from my POV most of you are foreign...

I'm not too concerned with how the Draft unfolds.

The closer it gets the more obvious it is that there will be many, many players on the board that could fill a role for us.

I'm expecting us to draft at least 1 European dude in the second round, but from looking at mocks our highest second rounder could net us a player worth keeping too.

It's kinda funny how everyone says this Draft is shit, yet as the day gets closer more and more prospects "appear"

Any chance that Johnny Flynn falls to 15?



Any?

I could see it happening. But I'm not sure Flynn would be the guy that I draft if he's available. I wouldn't be upset if they did draft him, however.

Sacramento has reportedly offered Detroit the #23 and #31 picks in exchange for the #15. The Kings may target DeJuan Blair at 15 if he’s available, while the Pistons like Toney Douglas and possibly DaJuan Summers.

according to DX

not a good deal. We already have 4 picks, we don't need 5.

Yeah, that goes counter to everything that makes sense.

Why would Joe give up some of his precious cap room for that?

I can see trading #15 for two future firsts or even a future first and a second, though.

Maybe even selling it outright for cash.

to be fair, the #31 pick is a 2nd rounder, and therefore doesnt have a cap hold.

I think that given our need for talent now, Joe doesn't deal out of the first round, either. I think he'd probably want to deal #15 and a couple 2nd rounders to move up a spot or three, but that's it.
