Malik Hairston would be a guy I would love to have

 

Sonny Weems is a very solid pick. He's a heck of an athlete.

CDR > Sonny Weems

 

I actually know jack about weems.

Absolutely, he was one of the best players in the country the last few months of the season.

A tall guard is a nice change of pace.

Why no CDR there? I bet Rose would have loved to talk them into it, except he was probably on a plane.

CDR can't shoot for s***.

If Weems can get any inconsistency, he's going to be a damn good player. Has a decent shot, terrific athlete, can get to the hoop, what more can you ask for from an NBA player? I remember him mostly for that show he put on against IU. CDR never really impressed me, so I'm glad Paxon went the route he did.

Funny you say that- CDR was 8% better, shooting percentage wise, than Weems this past year.

I thought for sure this was going to be a draft like 2004 (big Duke fan)- we take Gordon, then Deng from Duke, and then Duhon in the 2nd from Duke, except in this draft we'd go with Rose then CDR, both from Memphis.

I know exactly what the stats are, as I watch more college basketball than anyone. However, I guarantee there's not a single scout that thinks CDR is a good shooter. He had a great college career by shooting over 2 guards that he was bigger than.

Two good ones in a row, Plaisted and now Walker.

I wanted the Bulls to take Walker instead of Weems, but ah well, Weems is ok for a 2nd rounder. The important part tonight is Derrick Rose, so it's a good night.

Someone should draft Randall Falker before he is gone. :ph34r:

I'm shocked ESPN hasn't fired Jay Bilas by now and called you up.

Cash and 09 2nd round pick from Miami for Mario Chalmers. NICE. Two starters out of one draft.

Pax said Weems was traded.

It's for a Euro player. Hopefully Pekovic or Dragic.

Mike Taylor-Point Guard.

 

Must Improve-Point Guard Skills

fathom....how about bilas saying the thing shan foster needed to improve on was his 3 point shooting...that alone should get bilas fired

Does anybody know for what? CDR :pray

pax said today that he got one offer today for the #1 pick that was "pretty good"....it definitely sounded like it tempted pax, but ultimately he said its too difficult to give up the #1 overall pick....i wonder who it was for

Read 2 posts above. It's for an international player.

Apparently the Timberwolves offered Al Jefferson for the 1st pick.
