The Pick Two Draft Thread

[Truck Lewis]

Bynum was absolutely the right pick. Not a big fan of the Horford pick though.

the kings front office was enamored with Al Horford and were extremely impressed with his pre-draft workouts, but found Bynum's upside too intriguing to pass up

I would have picked Horford has I stayed in the same spot. Top +/- of any player left on the board. High PER, Big strong, rebounds blocks shots, all star. Still very young.

I have never heard of a team saying that, then having it work out in the end.

The Washington Wizards select Al Horford, reports are surfacing that this pick was part of a trade and Horford will not stay in Washington.

5 tps says horford ends up in fake Toronto.

He was my #1 guy at the 5th pick. Very nice.

Incorrect. May I have my 5 tps now?

Bynum and Horford were my top 2.  [dang], so much for hoping everyone would be infatuated with older veterans

Who told you that? The deli guy?

I assume it will be the opposite and every young player will fly off the board early.

Yeah, I had the same guys.  I think you'll see some vets go soon, though.

We could be here a while

Atzar isn't on and his pick isn't due until 1:00


That said, as it becomes clearer who will be available at pick #8 know that I am willing to move down in the first round to pick up a draft pick

How far down will depend upon the pick offered

[Edgar]

just to refresh my memory
why this raft isnt a stair draft or a serpent type
why good teams pick 30 this round and 30th next round??


I knew that that will never happend but i wanted to
see bynum and howard together stacking the paint

Atzar was on for a while last night.

Because most of the elite teams already have two great players, whereas most of the poorer teams don't.  It wouldn't be fair, for instance, for LA to have Kobe and Pau, plus the #30 and #31 pick.  It would give the poor teams no opportunity to catch up.

THat would also keep the thunder from dominating. DUH!
