2012 NBA Draft Thread

[gar]

Still can't get over it.

What a stiff. Melo sucks.

With Sulinger and Melo we just got less athletic and more injury prone. Sulinger plays like an old man.

nor IQ either....which is one reason why melo is going to have trouble getting any playing time with doc's defensive schemes. melo is not a particularly bright human being it seems. doc's rotations are pretty sophisticated and take some time to learn.

that is not a good combo. melo played only zone at SU. let's see whether or not he has the brains to do more than be tall. i dont recall him playing against pick and rolls in college. he will have to in the nba.

At 22 you're not getting a franchise center.  Any big you grab that low is going to have issues.  The one thing that does scare me is the fact that this guy was academically ineligible at Syracuse.  That takes some doing.

I doubt doc gives math tests at practice.

maybe language issue were the problem, imagine studying at the university of san paulo or paris or milan and you had poor command of the local language

That's what Melo claims, but who knows.  He's definitely not great with English yet though.

Plus basketball isnt academics.

Rose had to get a ringer for his SATs, he's doing fine.

[tyrone biggums]

Lamb would be a great pickup...fine shooter

[CelticInRedSox]

any way we can get one of dallas' picks for next years Bobcats pick (from the thunder)  & our own #51? (quincy Miller bandwagon)

LOL... Wasn't Kevin Garentt academically ineligible to even ATTEND College?  That's why he went straight to the pros.  Who cares if the guy isn't book smart... has nothing to do with a player's ability to pick up rotations.

ㅋㅋ 아무리 못해도 Fab Melo 보단 잘하겠죠

[celticinorlando]

i wish boston would move up for doran lamb....

[mqtcelticsfan]

[dang]it, Charlotte. They already have MKG and Henderson. Taylor is going to waste away on the bench.

One thing I like about Sullinger is he's an inside scorer.  We haven't had one of those in a long time....

I don't understand how anyone can be mad about Sullinger at 21...who was everyone expecting?

[RockinRyA]

could we buy a pick early in the second round? would love to get miller/crowder
