Was reading Chad's Mock 5.0, and apparently Bill Walker may be sliding... you guys hear anything as to why this may be? Are teams getting impressed by other players, or is Bill Walker not showing to be as good as expected?

I'm glad he's sliding, so that the Celtics have a better shot at getting him... but I'm wondering about the reasons for his slide.

I know it's all speculation at this point, but wondering what you guys are hearing:

Mentioned it in my post above but here's a link:

Didn't see the "injury during recent workout" thing... thought you were talking about his old knee injury.

Well, it doesn't worry me much, let's go for him still if he's around.

Absolutely... I think we need a big, but if Bill Walker isn't grabbed by Detroit Bill Walker would be a HUGE steal, no matter what. He's worth the risk at 30, without a doubt.

And one of his two favorite players is Paul Pierce, even more reason to draft him if available!  ;D

  • I left Indiana. Because it was horrible.
Wow...I guess I got used to having a few months of down time, nervously awaiting the draft.  It's one of my favorite nights of basketball.  You get a few people, make a few mock drafts, and drink every time you miss a pick.  Or get one right.  Or whenever someone whose name you can't pronounce gets picked.  Or when the phrase "upside" is muttered.  Etc.
CB Draft Bucks: Chris Paul, Dwight Howard, Tobias Harris, Zach LaVine, Aaron Afflalo, Jeff Green, Donatas Motiejunas, Jarrett Jack, Frank Kaminsky, Lance Stephenson, JaVale McGee, Shane Larkin, Nick Young

DKC Bucks. Also terrible.
