DERRICK ROSE BABY!

Maybe Miami hasn't lost their minds, though you never know when a trade announcement might come.

Expect a euro player. All indications out of Chicago are that the Bulls will not be selecting a guy that will be playing this season, so they'll likely take a guy who will be able to stay overseas for a year or two and continue to develop.

That's what I'm thinking. There was sooo much talk.

Westbrook taken by the Sonics. I had heard he had shot up the boards to possibly#4, but I'm still surprised he went that high. No more than 2 weeks ago he was seen as a #8-12 pick.

Man, Westbrook at 4 is a bit much, he's really not ready yet. He doesn't score enough to play the 2 and doesn't handle well enough to play the point. About all I'd count on him for right now is defense.

Has that ever worked before? All I keep thinking about is flashes of Drago.


AHHHHHH!!!!!

I thought they shoulda gotten Jarryd Bayless, I think he's going to be one of the top 5 players in this draft. I really like his game.

The Spurs seem to do well with the Euro guys?

After all the talk of how the Heat didn't "love" Beasley and the non-excitement on Beasley's face when he was picked, I'd have to imagine the pick will get traded.

Yeah I'm surprised about Westbrook. I hope he does well. That team needs to improve.

Agreed.

I'm not talking about Euro players in general, im talking about drafting them and then having them sit overseas for awhile.

Love goes to Memphis. No surprise there.

I think Love will do very well in Memphis.

They get lucky with Bayless here... darn!

OMG HORRIBLE PICK!!

Knicks fans are something else.

Knicks fans are just stupid.

Who won't they boo?

So you've seen Gallinari play? Or are you just doing your best Knicks fan impression?

HAHAHAHAHA! I love the Knicks fans hating their picks.

That, and the fact that I don't like drafting Euro players high EVER. Look no further than Darko Milicic and Andrea Bargnani. They're best when they have time to develop overseas like Manu and Luis Scola.. Terrible pick, considering they had a chance to get their point guard in Bayless!

Seriously, Knicks fans, what the hell is your problem? You could at least not boo the kid while he's being interviewed...

Maybe it's the reason they're bad. Knicks fans make them feel bad. There is SO much pressure on them.

Because Darko and Bargnani are horrible players? There has to be some reason why Bayless is seen falling to as low as 12.

Would the Knicks' fans have booed if Michael Beasley somehow fell to them? I'm thinking maybe...

I haven't seen Gallinari play, but everything I've read says he can play and should contribute right away, which is more than you can say for a lot of these guys.

Clippers drafting a SG makes me think Hinrich might be someone they want.

Galinari looks like he needs to add a lot of size, he could be good, Euro players are always tough to pin.

I smell a Kirk to LA deal involving Brand in the works.....

Considering where they were drafted, yes. Ya think Detroit wants a redo to get Mello now? Gasol is really the only Euro guy I can think of that came in right away and produced. You could throw Dirk in there but he struggled his first couple years in the league.

I can't believe how far Bayless is falling. I don't really like Alexander. I hope the Bucks see something I don't.

Word to everyone on this board:

Bayless is OVERRATED!!!

There wasn't anything close to a Carmelo Anthony or Dwayne Wade on the board. It's not like these other guys are going to come out and dominate right away. Plus unlike those schmucks Gallinari was actually playing and producing in Europe.

Oh, and Dirk averaged 17.5 and 6.4 in his second year. Not exactly struggling there.

I'd go big here if I were Charlotte but I'm not a fan of Lopez.

Wow. That was a surprise.

Hmmmm Augustin, whats that mean for Felton..

This is almost as surprising as the Westbrook pick.

Brook is free falling, someone snatch him up.

Possibly Anthony Randolph here? I'm thinking this might be Lopez

I doubt it would be NJ since they have lots of big men, IND probably since they just traded their center. They'll probably happily draft him.

Edit: oh well, I hope they get him playing time. Not that I think he'll be that good.

The Nets are incredibly dumb. Boone, Yi, Williams, Krstic, and Lopez.

Maybe they forgot about the trade they made today.

Lopez is pretty funny though hahaa. So is his brother.

Bayless now?? They just got TJ Ford, I don't get this..

I bet they're stoked to have Bayless. Too bad they just traded for Ford.

Decent pick by Indiana.

Eh, Ford will get hurt eventually anyways, get some insurance. Not like he's a true PG anyways.

Thompson is a surprise pick, but it's a MUCH better pick than Jordan or Randolph.

I don't remember hearing anything about this guy.

This guy looks like a buffed out version of Chris Paul face wise..
