I don't think Sandra will be too happy with that selection.

Sabres,

I was thinking Brook Lopez for the Knicks.

At least I won't be alone in covering this thread.

Your Red Sox have the night off and HD MM's at an Indians game- want to help me out with this thread?

Poor Eric Gordon. Did you see the expression on his face when Stern said the Clippers drafted him? Talk about a life sentence!!!

That's not as bad as it sounds, IMO. It could always be worse.

How about the Knicks?

They had a chance to get a big guy or Jarrod Bayless- instead, they get a guy who I have never heard of once.

If Sandra posts, I can predict a lot of expletives from her.

Yeah, I'd be quite ticked off if I were a Knicks fan. OTOH, he could end up being a decent NBA player. Maybe the Knicks did their homework, but on the surface it looks like a head-scratcher.

Brook Lopez is a seven foot stud. As we all know, they do not grow on trees. I wonder if his slipping this far has anything to do with the academic problems he ran into at Stanford.

 

[SabresRule]

Couple of head-scratching choices so far.

I see Jarod Bayless slipping down to #13 and Portland could steal him.

 

[BillD1984]

I'm hoping Brook Lopez's twin brother, Robin, slips to the Celtics at #30. I doubt it though, every mock draft I've read had him going anywhere between 17-25.

Jason Thompson??

The Kings could have had Hibbert.

I'm hoping for HD MM's sake that Hibbert is still there for the Cavs.

You're right though, a lot of first round head-scratchers.

 

[BillD1984]

Hopefully Anthony Randolph can play defense. God knows thats what the Warriors need.

You got a point.

To say the Warriors play defense is to say Sandra's an Islanders fan or I'm a Spurs fan.

 

[SabresRule]

Sorry, Bill.

Robin Lopez just went to the Suns.

 

[BillD1984]

Oh well........there goes that dream. See ya Robin.

 

[BillD1984]

Sorry, Bill.

Robin Lopez just went to the Suns.

Great pick for the Suns though. Like the Warriors, they need to drastically improve their defense. Drafting Robin is certainly a step in that direction.

 

[BillD1984]

I'm predicting Toronto (if they don't trade this pick to Indiana) to pick 6-8 Donte Green out of Syracuse.
