2012 NBA Draft Thread

[oldmanspeaks]

The PF OQuinn and Drew Gordon are still around. They could turn into something down the road

[slamtheking]

pacers just bought a player for $$$

I know -- where the hell was Danny on that deal?   I wouldn't have picked Orlando but there were several pretty good players picked after him that would really have been worth the cash.

Drew Gordon, Kevin Jones, Darius Miller, William Buford and Machado top my wish list at 51 for who's left.

[goCeltics]

l like the turk who is not coming for another 2 years, the pg from iona (i said sienna previously) and denmom from mizsou

I like gordon and o'quinn but we already picked 2 bigs

[KCattheStripe]

Give me Darius Johnson-Odom.

[henr1k]

I want this guy @51.

Machado would be great here.

me too

If Kris Joseph falls to us I hope we get him.  Dude's not worthy of a 1st like he was being projected as a few months ago, but as a late 2nd he's a steal.  Could contribute some decent minutes as a 4th or 5th wing.

Machado, the Turk, the Greek, O'Quinn are my wishlist for this pick.

Machado would be great here.

and he fits with the type of player ainge often chooses in the second round. he often picks someone who was a leader, or close to it, in some category such as scoring, rebounds, etc. but has some obvious flaw in his game. or maybe comes from a p---ant school.

so machado seems to fit that profile.

at #51...what the heck.

HEY!!!! the word p i s s a n t refers, archaically to a type of teeny tiny ant. it now refers to something extremely small and insignificant. no profanity involved there.

And he gives us our first true backup point guard for Rondo since...

darn, the knicks don't even appreciate Kostas

[j804]

Where's our pick at for 2nd round?

[lightspeed5]

this draft  so deep, we're gonna get 1st round talent with our 51st.
