2011-2012 OFFICIAL NBA LOCKOUT thread

Basically every draft is mostly role players.

 

There are something like 200 NCAA teams, so about 1000 players start. In the NBA there are 150 starters, its pretty damn hard to break in.

 

The only superstar I see is Irving. Williams has all-star potential. The rest are roleplayers. I'm no expert scout. That's just the way I see it.

I agree, Im just saying that when you look back at most drafts there arent many superstars in the same class. More than anything there is just not as much hype because you dont have High School players. Now NBA teams draft foreign players like High Schoolers, they dont see them play so they assume they must be good.

 

I think this draft outside of Williams/Irving doesnt have clear cut stars, but it has a lot of depth and interesting guys.

IMAN!

Shumpert is seemingly a reach at this pick, but this draft is a lot of gambling.

 

What I know is that Wisconsin was the first team to offer him and Bo Ryan really wanted him (great defense, high quality player etc).

 

So could be a good fit for the knicks because Melo/Amare will take most of the shots.

Oh Spike, you're such a dumbass. Never heard of Shumpert before?

I'd really like it if Motiejunas fell to the Bulls. Use one of those picks and stash him away for a couple years.

Johnny Flynn traded to HOU. Minnesota gets Brad Miller.

 

Motiejunas goes to MIN at 20. Damn.

Brooks/Hamilton surprisingly still on the board

Rockets get:

Johnny Flynn

Donatas Motiejunas

 

TWolves get:

Brad Miller

23rd pick

Future 1st

 

Per Woj

I guess hamilton being available isnt shocking but I wouldn't mind him falling to 28

Wow that's a terrible pick at 21. Nolan is a good dude, but my goodness. Scary that you are taking "solid" prospects at 21.

Looks like this could be Felton/22 to POR for Andre Miller and Nolan Smith.

I dont think Smith is a terrible pick as he should be solid. At this point in the draft its whoever you like more.

Brad Miller's job to coach Beasley?

He was a dynamite college player. But he's not quick enough to get by PG's and at 6'2 isn't going to be lighting the world on fire at SG. At best I think he's a career reserve that could add some offense.

Bulls trade up. 23 from MIN for 28, 43 and Cash.

 

Jordan Hamilton? Would make sense.

Ya, that'll work.

With the lack of roster spots, can't complain.

Ha I was telling Zoom that Hamilton would be an interesting pick for the Bulls, but at that point I thought theyd have to trade both firsts.

 

And I cant believe a guy like Faried is taken over Jujuan Johnson. JJ is 6'10 has a decent midrange game, yet you take the 6'7 guy who works hard?

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 09:49 PM)
Nikola Mirotic it is.

So are we sure that this guy is a Bull?

KC Johnson is reporting the trade is true.

Well first the pick has to be traded to Minnesota, then to the Bulls if its even happening.

Well KC is 2 trades ahead of espn, but a European makes a ton of sense there for the Bulls.
