DeJuan Blair would be good off the bench for the Thunder if he's the pick

you think Jeff Adrien will be on the board at 58?

I hope so.

Cross our fingers.

Can we buy a pick and select Blair right now? Does Jeff have Ainge's #? Can he text him and wake him up?


Edit: Meant to text Ainge. I know Jeff is up.

I'd pick Adrien at 58 as well if he's still there. Kid is solid just lacks the height.

Looks like teams are going to take guys they're going to leave overseas.

Has a draft pick ever been traded, then traded back after it was picked?  (I mean in the same week)

Why not buy pick #28 from Minny?  I'm sure they don't want to pay 4 1st round picks.

Then you can get a big like Pendergraph or stash a developmental PG like Calathes overseas.  I'm not sure where these guys are ranked though.  I haven't followed the draft as closely this year.

Cross our fingers.

A warrior. Nobody questions Adrien's toughness on the court. Has the perfect demeanor for the position ... Was the heart and soul of the UConn Huskies for the past 3 years ... Has been one of the top rebounders in the country despite being undersized ... Possesses massive shoulders with his 245lb frame. Although only 6'7, he has a 7'0 wingspan that should allow him to play in the paint with NBA players ... Played 4 years under Jim Calhoun at UConn and started the last 3 years ... Took on a leadership role since sophomore year ... NBA teams are more likely to take a chance on a guy like Adrien, who is undersized at the power forward position because of the recent success of similar sized players such as Paul Milsap, Jason Maxiel, and Leon Powe ... His hustle and physical style should win over enough NBA general managers to find a roster spot next year ... Developed into a reliable scorer for UConn scoring on garbage baskets as well as short jump shots ...

This is weird. Blair has been fine for 4 years, in terms of his knees.

He has long arms and strength to make up for his height.
