2011 NBA Draft Thread

 ::here comes Etuan moore

I know nothing about this guy,
but here's draftexpress

There's a case to be made that Moore is one of the most underrated players in this draft class, and his showing in this sampling does nothing to discourage that notion

Teammates!  And called by hardleyyardley, I believe.

Nice. Like it.

[Roy H.]

Well, Johnson and Moore should have good chemistry, having played together for four years.

I probably would have gone with Smith, but I do trust Danny on this stuff a lot more than I do my own 10 minutes of scouting.

[KCattheStripe]

Raise your hand if you're surprised Danny Ainge drafted a combo guard... All of you with your hands raised are liars.

Chukwudiebere Maduabum! 

[Rondo_is_better]

E'Twuan!

[nickagneta]

Really like what Danny did here. Two athletes. Two very intelligent kids. Two mature kids. Two team mates that will be able to push each other as team mates on the bench of a team that needs these type of people to sit, learn, and develop.

Not sure if these kids will see playing time next year but they will have each other to lean on and learn from as well as a great coach and excellent veterans to show them the way.

And if they ever get to play together, they already have chemistry playing together for years.

Well, that's all for me tonight, folks.
I'm pleasantly surprised with the picks.  Not big reaches or head scratchers, seem solid, and we'll all learn a lot more in the months ahead about whether either of these guys can contribute...

[Eja117]

Well if Jay Bilas calls him a solid solid player that's enough for me with the 55th pick.

Hey Rondo. Meet Etwaun Moore. He's a solid solid player.

Rondo: Oh really? Welcome to the team.

Hey Avery Bradley.  Meet Etwaun Moore. He's a solid solid player.

Avery: Gulp. Um. Nice to meet you.

Etwaun: Wow you're little. What did you major in?

Avery: Major?

Etwaun: Yeah. What did you study at Texas?

Avery: Study?  Look I would have been a top 5 pick in this draft.

Danny Ainge: Everyone I want you to meet our new rookies. I'm pretty sure they would have been picked #1 and #2 if they came out next year

[jpurthe1]

The 2 Purdue kids will mesh great because on the road they are going to need buddies to work off and talk to.

[Eja117]

Chukwudiebere Maduabum! 

Most brutal name ever in any major sport

[The DarkPassenger]

Okay so why do we have a 2nd round when teams continue to draft overseas players who most likely will never actually be in the NBA?

[Eja117]

They just called that guy Sid Finch.

Wasn't Sid Finch that fictional pitcher who could throw 188mph who pitched barefoot or something?

Am I right?
