Upcoming draft

Hoopshype just put out their preview. I think it's kinda cool that we are all the way down at the 24th pick!

The lower the better!!

 

Psycho-T for the win!

 

In fairness that's assuming everyone comes out. I'd bet more than a couple of players hold their name out, pushing the lower tier players a few picks higher up the draft board.

 

Why? Hansbough will be a bench warmer in the NBA. Just because he plays with heart doesn't mean he'll be a good NBA player.

 

SUCH a weak class... i'd love to take a flier on Derozen, though.

 

would be a decent bench player. plus we need a bruiser.

 

DeRozen will be a top 10 pick, and his stock has been flying as of late. Unless the Blazers trade way up they won't even come near picking him.

 

buyer's market baby. what can contract relief and 2nd round picks get this summer?

 

Contract relief and seconds won't get a top seven or so pick.

 

Tyler Hansbrough a bruiser? No offense but he doesn't exactly fit the bill of "bruiser," hustle guy, energy guy for sure.

If the team is really committed to getting a late first round pick to fill this role, it's helluva lot easier to move from the mid twenties into the mid to late teens and try to get Dejuan Blair.

 

Sebastian Telfair did.

Either way, there are few prospects I like this year and one of them was DeRozan. Spoke of him because he, according to hoopsworld or hoopshype (whichever it was), will be nearest wherever i'll pick will be.
