Wow this draft is really loaded.

Lopez falls to 10?

He's a poor man's Tim Duncan!

Bayless at 11?

Pacers stole one too.

This is crazy.

I'm in shock that they start this at a time early enough for anyone on the east coast to actually see some of this. The entire West coast must be livid of course.

Very, very, very poor. Lopez would have to work hard to be the homeless man's Tim Duncan. Poor man's Tim Duncan is hyperbole.

I find it humorous that the ESPN analysts act like every player drafted will be a 10 time all-star.

They need to find a way to get rid of Tinsley.  Easier said than done.

Buyout. The Simons have the money, I presume. Nobody is going to trade for Tinsley.

Wow. Thompson. That was a jump.

Hahaha. I remember people saying that we should get Thompson if he was available, before. Or, at least I've heard his name in discussions. Hehe.

The first senior at 12 ... the cool thing about the draft every year, is that it very rarely goes as anyone expects ... kinda like the first year of a newly assembled team.  ;)

  • The good ole days.
DeAndre Jordan is facing up as one of the steals in the draft. He's great value for any pick from here downwards.

About 2-3 months ago he was one of my big hopes for the Wolves if they had fallen to the 3rd pick or lower... which they did.  But I'm happy with Mayo.

Stu Scott says Thompson wants to be a "TV sports anchor" when he graduates. I thought he wanted to play basketball?

Whooops, here comes Portland
