2009 NBA Draft/Offseason Thread

Evans is barely a point guard. Almost every verdict I've seen regarding him is he's a combo guard. f*** Petrie with a fiberglass pipe.

[YanksHater213]

He's definitely a combo guard, and me saying that he is going to be better than Rubio says more about what I think about Rubio than what I think about Evans.

 

I can totally see Rubio being Sebastian Telfair 2.0, no problems, while I see Evans as a Rodney Stuckey type guy who will need to learn the PG position first.

Johnny Flynn? WTH

[Cocos Disciples]

How the hell do you get "Drew" from Jrue?

[YanksHater213]

I thought the second they took Flynn that they'll package him with one or more of their other first round picks, maybe a piece or two, for an upper tier player.

[CrespoBlows]

What do you guys think about Harden?

Maybe Flynn could be Boston-bound, along with something better, and Rondo could be somewhere else-bound (since Minny just took Rubio)?

 

 

Us and the Wolves do have a trading history.

[Cocos Disciples]

GS takes Curry, sucks for NY.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

What do you guys think about Harden?

OKC will regret that quickly. Harden is a grind player being drafted into an up-tempo offense, where he will be the third option at best, behind Durant and Green. Stupid pick by them.

 

 

Meanwhile, Stephen Curry gets ass-reamed, and Donnie Walsh gets the finger.

[YanksHater213]

Flynn will not be in Boston, Ainge is smart enough to not go into your last year of your window of opportunity to win a title with a rookie point guard.

 

Rondo may be gone but we will have a veteran point guard there.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Jordan Hill to NY, finally we see some chalk.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Flynn will not be in Boston, Ainge is smart enough to not go into your last year of your window of opportunity to win a title with a rookie point guard.

Or both (Flynn and veteran).

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Rachel Nichols sighting yay

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

I'd be shocked if Toronto doesn't take DeRozan, they need wings in the worst way.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Yup.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Milwaukee... Gerald Henderson maybe, I'm not sure what they do.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Bucks take the soon-to-be-bust Brandon Jennings. f***, he couldn't even dominate Italy.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

NJ takes Terrence Williams, who I have never heard of.

[YanksHater213]

Foreign game is different. I don't like Jennings either, but he came back here a better player. He improved his mid-range shot but he needs to improve his decision making and add some range.

[YanksHater213]

NJ takes Terrence Williams' date=' who I have never heard of.[/quote']

 

Think Andre Iguoudala lite, Trevor Ariza minus some range on his shot.

 

He can rebound, pass, dribble, and has superior athleticism to most guys in this draft. His shot is kinda suspect but he should be able to get by on his athleticism while that develops. Good player, could be the steal of the draft here.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Bobcats snatch Henderson.

[YanksHater213]

Hansbrough to the Pacers. He'll make them very happy.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Pacers take Hansbrough, they need pretty much everything.

[YanksHater213]

I thought they'd take Holiday there, personally. They need a point guard pretty badly.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

PHX takes Earl Clark, he was projected to go to NJ.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Detroit takes Austin Daye, who I have also never heard of.

[YanksHater213]

Gonzaga, long and tall, weighs about 50 pounds.

 

Team player, winner, probably will play SF and be a matchup nightmare (like Rashard Lewis when he played the 3 in Seattle), good hands, and a load of offensive and defensive potential.

 

He just needs to add some bulk, and not play like a pussy.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

lol @ asking a GM about the state of a potential trade

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Chicago takes James Johnson

Philly takes Jrue Holliday

[YanksHater213]

Holiday is an awesome pick @ 17.
