Does Stern keep a hometown kid home for a 2nd straight year?

Rubio under D'Antoni?

Somehow I just see Thabeet finding a way to be a Clipper and being a huge bust.

And, The current group of Wizards will still be a joke no matter what happens.

 

[krey1231]

If OKC pulls a Portland

KD better represent.

And, The current group of Wizards will still be a joke no matter what happens.
you dont think with an addition of a Blake Griffin AND a healthy Arenas the Wizards cant be a 5-6 seed in the east?

EDIT : this draft is weak as hell.

 

[shuges]

I think this has the potential to be one of the strongest drafts in years.

It may not be LBJ - Melo - Wade strong.

But it's probably more well-rounded.

Can't wait.

edit: And I didn't realize this is for the lottery.

But I still stand by my statements.

 

[RyGuy45]

Ah the annual Timberwolves get bent over night

Been in the lottery 12 times since they came into the league. Never once moved up higher than their ping pong position. Never once picked higher than 3rd.

Bring it on

Kevin Love will be team's rep this year

 

[i nasmatic i]

The league owes the Grizzlies the number one pick for giving away Pau

.

I think it'll go to the Wizards though.

 

[al3xis]

shuges, I can't agree at all. I think it's

. Got guys likeGerald Henderson, with legit top 10 hopes

to me, last years was a great draft, before they stepped on the floor.


Wiz can be a 5/6 seed and lose again early in the playoffs. that team shoulda been blown up 2 years ago.


..
So Love for the T'Wolves

H20 for the Knicks.

who else?

 

[swizzc]

C-WEBB REPPIN FOR THE KINGS THIS YEAR.... LETS GET IT!!!!!!!

 

[noneofyours25]

Being a fellow DMV'er, but dislike the Wiz, I hope the #1 pick goes to the them

With an addition of Griffin and a whole lot of subtraction (with some good additions to it) to their bench, they could be a good team next year if everyonestays healthy for once

 

[ce0 mal]

Come on Sacramento...get that number 1 and don't mess it up.

I don't want Rubio!

 

[i nasmatic i]

This draft is a damn crap shoot.

I see maybe 4-5 quality players then a bunch of mediocre role players.

Probably the second worst draft of this decade (behind 2000

).

cmon wizkids! lets get that 1st pick

 

[heat23]

I have a feeling the Clips will win the lottery

Here's the run down of representatives allen:

[chi ill]

Anyone have a link to all the potential players to get drafted this year ?

 

[vc3fan]

Thorn is going for the Nets instead of Jay-z this year.

Both New York and OKC will have the most people there. (knicks send like 10 people to this)

 

[jordansondeck]

If the Clippers win it i can see them taking Stef Curry #1

 

[osh kosh bosh]

This is draft is so weak and lame.

 

[CP1708]

I would LOVE to see OKC pull the #1.

Griffin, Green, Durant, Westbrook.

 

[physicx]

i hope memphis gets griffin

slim chance though

 

[airjordan jb23]

No Jay-Z this year...

 

[pr0phecy718]

i hope the knicks remain at 8th

 

[N41D]

As long as Blake isn't playing for Los Angeles Jr. or Sacramento, I'm good.

This would be sick but at the same time I feel it would "stunt" the growth of all four players to one degree or another. If Griffin isat C, then he's undersized. That would then mean OKC would have to eventually deal Green away so they could Griffin to PF and Durant to SF. If Griffin isslotted at PF, then Durant is shifted to SG (where he's good) but he's a lot better at SF. I'd rather them end up Thabeet or Harden, who both fitwith what Presti is trying to build. And I'm not saying all this just because I'm a Lakers fan

.

 

[clutchshooter]

griffin at the 4 , durant at the 3.

green would be a ridiculously dealable commodity. they could bring in a decent piece(s) with him.
