Where is Lawdog to answer the draft/high school question?  Magic Johnson?

 

[akajae]

DaWhite Howard.

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

So Bull fans don't like Jimmy cause he demanded the team work hard and called out guys in film sessions?

I'm saying!

I already answered it for him

 

[art vandelay]

We need another draft class like 1984 and 1996.

adrew bogut. :x

 

[MVP]

Lebron was the 1st pick in my HS Grad Year

Andrea Bargnani :x

 

[art vandelay]

Wasn't Bennett a #1? Yikes.

 

[ill steelo]

Thad Young traded to the Pacers for their 2016 1st rounder and a future 2nd seconder

So, Nets are back in the 1st round this year

Bird finally decides to align his roster with his new run & gun offensive philosophy.

Could've kept Hill, though. Very good defender. They're gonna be giving up some points.

2013 Draft was trash.

Bomani Jones brought up the 2000 draft on Twitter earlier and well...

Damn that lottery was atrocious :x :x :x

 

[nick.]

The 2000 draft was a cesspool :x

 

[MVP]

It was the worst draft in league history by all metrics.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Lakers need to take whoever's left between Simmoms & Ingram.

It's almost impossible to screw up.

It's set in stone we taking Ingram. Kid gon be special.

I don't know where this talk of George hill being a very good defender comes from, son has easily been the weakest link of that starting 5 for years.

 

[Air Pope]

I'd have you know that Kenyon Martin is one of the top 50 greatest Nets ever

 

[mgrand15]

George Hill has been wildly underrated since Miami made him (and nearly every other PG they faced) look like garbage with their aggressive traps. Really good defender, can play off the ball or be a secondary ball handler, and is a really good 3pt shooter.

Crawford was legit the best player by far and that's crazy

 

[kingjay718]

Damn TY just bought a place here in Brooklyn. Good for him and his family. He's gonna do wonders for that squad. Not a tar obviously but a great guy to have on your roster.

#Neverforget

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Stro and D Miles were like the original "when they figure it out..." dudes.

To this day they are both two years away from being two years away

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Mike Miller won that ROY. Mike Miller.

Couldn't be any more wrong

People were frustrated with Hill because he can't really dribble & doesn't have much vision. So he's not really much of a PG.

But defensively he's always strapped up, going back to the Spurs days.
