    Jamont Gordon would be a nice pick right about now.

    He's a well-built center/forward. He could be a good selection, but I'd rather take Semih Erden any day. A further established Fenerbahçe Ülker center.

    And I thought it couldn't get worse than Dorsey

    Pat Ewing Jr to the Kings

    Definitely should have been undrafted

    I'd pick him solely for the cool nicknames you could come up with, related to his last name.

    Pat Ewing Jr. I forgot his was still up there, I like him a lot.

    I like the Jawai pick a lot. We need a good back-up center, and we got it.

    This second round has been ridiculous. All sorts of players getting taken that really shouldn't. Seeing CDR drop so far, same with Walker and Jordan. I wonder if GMs are on crack nowadays? To say the least, this draft has been ridiculous in all sorts of ways.

    Patrick Ewing Jr? What the ****? Dude wasn't even a good player, or a starter in college. Queens are on some crack, first taking Thompson, then Singletary, and now Ewing Jr. lol

    Utah are fucking retarded, I swear to God. Why select two big men? Already regretting Kosta Koufos I assume? That doesn't surprise me, but Ante Tomić should have went to a team that will help him develop instead of wait around and turn into a nobody.

    Completely agree. The mock drafts make 100% more sense than this draft.

    I personally like Sean Singletary, and he does kind of fill a need for the Kings. However, the rest of those picks are pretty retarded. And I think the real reason that Patty Jr. is in the league is based on last name alone. However, to his credit, he's a solid defensive player.
