Tom Petty called. He said "The wayyyyyy-tinngggg is the hardest parrt"

Then there was the Doobie Brothers classic

"Hurry Up and Make Your Pick [dang it]"

I believe I'm now on the clock.

With the 6th pick in the 10th round, the Atlanta Hawks select Ike Diogu.

I used to like Ike..now not so much.

The year before he came out when he played for Arizona State. He was an absolute monster. A monster with great passing skill and good touch around the hoop.

I think he was very similar to Leon Powe, with possibly a more polished offensive game.  It's a little ironic that Ike is the one who has had all of the injuries now that he is in the pros, since Powe was the one who plummeted in the draft because of his injuries in college.

Plus, bouncing around has not been good for him either.  He was a bad fit in GS.

Yup, and unfortunately, he has gone to a team that has too many young big men already. 

I expect Ike to have a better season this year in Portland, even if he is only third on the depth chart at either frontcourt spot. I do think he could put up decent numbers if he could get 15-20 minutes a game.

GC, nice pick with Shell-head Williams. I'd have thought about him if he'd been there when my turn came up.

There has been a trade:

Toronto trades:  Shaun Livingston, 10th (20)

Dallas trades:  Eddy Curry

Yes...  Edgar finally got rid of his man.

Good trade for Toronto. Eddy Curry might as well have the famous words tattooed on his forehaed "I Yam what I Yam". He will give you exactly what you expect him to, and nothing less or more. Poor passing, some offensive skills in the post, poor rebounding, and poor defense. He will also provice 7 feet of real estate in the lane which usually helps.

Oh man.... does this mean that.....


Shaun Livingston available for 16th round pick
big point guards win titles!!!!





just kidding, edgar. TP.

thanks lucky.... The Landlord is a guy i'd love the (real) C's to take a look at via trade.

Any estimate from the Hornets as to when they'll be making their selection?  It will keep me from compulsively checking this thread every three minutes.

I've often thought about this too and we'd be stupid to think Wyc didn't. I mean, the guy is a money making machine. How much would partypoker.net or New England Seafoods pay to have a crack at advertising on Shelden WIlliams forehead??

Did you implement a rule this year that said folks can only "shop" their picks when they're on the clock?

The ORLANDO MAGICS will NOT tolerate this sort of making fun of a valued member of our team.... Teams engaging in this kind of silliness can expect to be beaten down in the playoffs by Sheldon Williams' teammates....

The Orlando Magics:  We've taken UBUNTU and SUPERSIZED it!!!

But them, who can we blame?



Until you answer that question, we will just blame you.

[Evantime34]

How many of you guys are aware that he is married to Candace Parker? (Shelden Williams that is) How does an ugly guy like that pull a good looking girl like her? It doesn't make sense to me.
