2012 NBA Draft Thread

[Tr1boy]

As i predicted Moultrie dropping like a fly.

Danny was going to take Fab Melo no matter what at 22nd. IF melo can get in great shape the way Love and Hibbert has , maybe we got a really good pick.

Goodbye Stiesma it looks like

[tyrone biggums]

Looks like Perry Jones III to the Heat...Miles Plumlee to the Pacers 

[Kuberski33]

Here's the other thing...Melo, I'm sure, got very little coaching at Syracuse under Boeheim.  C's will have a chance to shape him.  Playing with KG (hopefully) won't hurt.

[Change]

Although I'm not fond of Jared Sullinger, I'm loving Fab Melo pick. A shot block in Fab Melo, and low post scorer in Jared Sullinger.

Nice choice by Mavericks Jared Cunningham is steal of the draft.

[LarBrd33]

Pacers are taking plumie according to ford... which means Jones will be on the board when the Heat pick.  Lol.

[Cman]

Sullinger.

I like the talent don't get me wrong. But the back issues.

I'm back to the Avery Bradley scenario again, prove me wrong Jared.

And Fab Melo. I like it...

It makes sense now, they kind of compliment each other. Jared takes care of scoring and rebounding, while Melo does the defending.

then they both go out and gorge on whoppers.

[KGs Knee]

I am officially back on my hating Danny warpath.

His draft couldn't have gone any worse.

Sully and Melo?

Horrendous!

[celticinorlando]

it is painfully obvious boston HAS to get a scoring athletic wing in FA....resign Ray, Jeff Green, Resign peaches, sign and trade Brandon bass for mayo or josh smith

[Tradetime]

theres the center to bring kg back

Exactly. KG made this pick.

[greg683x]

Wow Fab MELOOOO???

PJ3 must have SERIOUS knee issues..

whats more disappointing, passing on him in the draft.

or watching him retire in a couple years after he reached his potential.  Brandon Roy comes to mind.

[TheBig5]

If the Heat get Perry Jones... I don't even know how I will react.

[gar]

Can't believe Danny passed on Lamb and Jenkins (let alone Jones and Moultrie)

[CoachBo]

Typical Danny draft: One for two. Can't escape his fascination with tall stiffs.

Like the Sully pick a lot. HATE Melo's ambivalent, limited game.

Quincy Miller?
