Sad to say this, but Utah got better players in 2nd round than NYK got in Balkman. J0se is going nutz right now where ever he is. Billy Diaz is a okay player though.....
What happened to Isiah's great drafting skills? He has nothing going for him right now. People should not be questioning Sefolosha. I think Chicago, NJ, and Cleveland have come out the best so far.

I loved the Bulls draft. I made it no secret I would have loved to have drafted Aldridge, and keep him, but I can?t complain about Tyrus. Tyrus has a 7?3? wing span which will allow him to guard bigger players. He can also hit the jumper consistently up to 19 feet. His upside tremendous being compared to Stoudamire and Marion. Thomas is a risk, but sometimes you got to gamble to get better. I don?t expect him to have a ROY of the year type season, but he will be solid. Then getting Thablo was great. Although, I didn?t like the fact we picked him over Carney and Brewer. I can?t complain. He is a great defender and a great addition to our back court. I was ecstatic when I heard my boy Randy Foye got a get out of jail free card, and didn?t have to play for the Jail Blazers. I was getting really concerned for a second. Foye and KG could be a dominant duo next season. I?m saying it right now. Randy Foye will be the rookie of the year. The kid is in a great situation, and will excel playing next to KG. the award for worst draft has to go to the New York Knicks. Come on Isiah Balkman?!?! Mardy Collins was a good value pick, but where is he going to find time in that loaded back court. The Jazz had one of the best drafts imo. Getting Brewer and Dee made it a great night for them. Dee will be on one of the all rookie teams this season believe me. He is going to playing with a chip on his shoulder. Gibson, Lowry, etc. are not better point guards then him. I?m very happy the 76ers got Carney, but I hate the fact that they didn?t try to acquire a second round pick, and take Dee Brown. We got Bobby Jones, but another shooting guard/small forward what?s the point? Dee would have helped our team immensely. Anyway, good draft overall.
I wanted to see Jose Juan Barea get drafted... Did good in the league. Just was interested to see how he could do.
Utah had a great second round and a great draft overall, picking up a rebounding machine in Millsap, a handy PG in Dee Brown and most importantly a much needed SG with enormous potential in Brewer. I'm most happy with Detroits pick Glad we got Blalock. Hopefully he jumps straight into the squad next season. Also I wonder why Allen Ray went undrafted? I personally think he has great upside, bit undersized, but he was very impressive in college, guess none of the GM's thought like me, lol.
I thought the Clippers had a solid draft for second rounders, Paul Davis adds depth to the Clipper big men, and Guillermo Diaz can play SG while defending the other team's PG and Shaun Livingston can play PG while defending the other team's SG. Potential steals in both players. I guess Allan Ray would have fit well with the Clips, too.
Seattle already has 2 developing centers, they should of brought in Cedric Simmons or Hilton Armstrong instead of a center who still may 2-3 years of experience before blossoming.
I don't know where else to put this, but NO/OKC Hornets had one hell of a good draft. I think that Armstrong and Simmons are going to put them in the race for one of the top 4 spots in the West next year, and I'm completely serious. They got exactly what they needed, the team is young and talented, and there's nowhere to go from here but up.Tremendous draft.
