Just wanted to say, I got bashed when I didn't have Marcus Williams going in the lottery in my mock. Well guess what, he fell not only out of the lottery but went to 22. Also, I like to say Utah did well in this draft, as well as Chicago and even Portland. Good draft, and good prospects that went undrafted.
I did not read this entire topic.I just thought something that was funny was when Dan Patrick said he liked Tagliabue better than David Stern, I was rolling. The other thing that got me was when it said Foye would most like to meet his parents... that's messed up to put that as a draft fact for a player.Redick seemed to be a prick, honestly. I loved how he said his DUI was an "isolated incident." What a stupid thing to say. Oh man Redick, I am so glad that was an isolated incident. As though that makes anything better.
David Noel is a solid player. He won't be a star, but he is a very underrated defender. He is also one of the most selfless guys I've met, and seen play on the court. Look for him to make a mark with his defense
I completely agree, Noel was a solid pick that late in the draft. He will be able to play the three spot well, and slide inside a bang for short period of time with that body. I really expect to see him push Simmons for playing time, and maybe one day take over his spot in the future.
Mike Gansley didn't get his name called, which was a little dissapointing, especially since Detroit could have grabbed him last pick, but he'll be an undrafted rookie and will get his minutes.
I'm so happy about the Nets draft yesterday. Marcus Williams was a huge steal, and Josh Boone is a player to bring depth to the frontcourt and replace Clifford Robinson
Does anyone think next year the ESPN panel should just shut up? They were bashing a couple players when they were walking up to the podium on probably what was there proudest moments while hearing guys like Stephen A and Jay Bilas rip you on your faults. I just didn't get it, especially when they closed in on Rudy Gay and the panel talks about his lack of killer instinct and you see him visibly upset that he hasn't been picked yet. Just ridiculous.

We picked him up because we wanted an athletic wingman to go along w/ Iggy. We got Bobby Jones for defense which we badly need. Hes one of the best defensive players in the draft and we badly needed that. Other than Iggy we have like 0 defense. The only problem we got now is a logjam at the wing positions so im not sure what were gonna do about that.
