People who think that Julian is going to be better than Brandan Wright have lost their minds. ;)

(I do like J. Wright's potential.  He's stuck with that "jack of all trades, master of none" type of game, though.)



J. Wrigth reminds me of a young Walt Williams for some reason.  I think he'll get there, i.e. is a safe bet.  B.Wright has potential (maybe more than JWright) but it seems overhyped like Marvin Williams' was.  Williams is a fine pro, but not IMO a superstar.

So i guess i think they'll both end up as good pro's but Brandon just has more potential...

just my 2 cents.

I know who Redz wants, but he didn't ask me to pick for him (and he's showing at the top of the screen.)  My guess is that he just got a customer. :P

  • I left Indiana. Because it was horrible.
The Bucks select C Hilton Armstrong

I thought about him over Moore, but he's been so [dang]ed unimpressive that I went with the old guy.

Great pick... I was really high on him at this point in the draft, and if I didn't have a backup PF already, he would have been my pick instead of McGee.  I think Thompson is much more NBA ready.

Just because it seems like a fine "value" pick, the Angry Pickles find it impossible to pass on resident nut job Stephon Marbury with a 9th rounder. 

For his part Marbury has promised to hand out $3 sneakers to the first 100,000 Pickle fans. "It's just the kinda guy I am.  I really feel like the Angry Pickles are a Starbury kind of team."
Yup

Maybe he was referring to Dorell Wright?  That was my first reaction.

I was thinking about Marbury, but you just made my pick a lot easier.

I can't believe a player of his caliber is still around, and is my 11th guy lol
