2009 NBA Draft

[Fool]

I just realized something. Davidson is dead, time to hire Zeke as our director of scouting.

[Zekyl]

Bring on the Balkman picks?

sadly this is one of the weakest draft classes in recent memory. and that is assuming a bunch of underclassmen will declare.

but considering we'll probably draft at about #15, we will have to be very lucky to land a true impact player.

I want Blake Griffin.

Do we need an Impact player from this pick next season?

I'm guessing no - we should be looking for a guy that can contribute next season but has the ability and the mental toughness and the drive to be a starter within 3 years.

I'm not talking about potential - I'm talking about a guy that has proven himself to be on a certain level and our scouts determining if he has the drive and toughness to continue to adapt his game, grow his game and improve on his weaknesses in the next 3 years.

If we find a guy like that, who is driven, then we need to Draft him - regardless of the position he plays.

Cole Aldrich is returning to Kansas for his junior season, according to a source close to the program.

Well, that sucks right there.

[Tahoe]

I guess he aspired to be one of the top picks next year?

What do you think of Earl Clark with our pick?
