2013 CB Draft : Draft Thread : VOTING ENDS 8:00PM EST TONIGHT

[Roy H.]

The Orlando Kobes select Jason Thompson

Not my favorite player in the world, but for a 9th rounder and your 5th big man, he's a nice choice.

[Gainesville Celtic]

TRADE

Memphis Grizzlies send: Barea, Delfino, 9.6 

Los Angeles Lakers send: Dudley, 10.12, 11.14

Steal for LA

Sigh as predictable as us getting the 20/21 pick, Wiggles team being underated, teams overhyping their teams -- each year around this time 8/9 rd I make a dumb move during the 5 min pick, wonder if all hope is lost then marginally recover with some decent late picks. Some year I'll learn to trust my picks/ranks.

[Yoki_IsTheName]

The Orlando Kobes select Jason Thompson

Very surprised he lasted this long. Thought he was going to drop some more.

Nothing better than a starter level talent being stolen in the 9th round.

The Orlando Kobes select Jason Thompson

but but but.... look at all those bigs! What do you need Jason Thompson for?? WHY OH WHY

Amar'e insurance.  Very durable, can score a bit, solid jumpshooter. 

[TheTruthFot18]

Mike Miller "The killa"

TP for the nourishment.

[The Walker Wiggle]

The Los Angeles Lakers select Dirk Nowitzki's protégé, Kelly Olynyk.

Ha, love it.

That is just like you, fwf. You say things like that, and you make it impossible for me to hate you, and I hate you, fwf. I really hate you. I hate you

Very true, I said this before already. This is the only league where depth is overrated. With the way the voters bring up injury history, you have to shore up your reserves. But then they go "oh too many bigs" or "there's only so much your depth can bring you". There's no way out of it, it's so funny.

Hahaha. Nice try, Yoki. YOUR depth is overrated. Everyone is telling you that they don't think you'll get one full player-season out of the Bogut-Varejao combo, but you just won't hear it.

The difference with your team, Yoki, is that you lack the top-tier talent that Orlando has (Kobe), and you have a lot more injury risks.

I like you! 

...if it helps, Thompson's not likely to be a difference maker for anybody, and there are still a lot of decent bigs left on the table.  Nobody as dreamy as JT though...

[The Walker Wiggle]

With the 11th pick in the 9th round the San Antonio Spurs select:

Luke Ridnour.

[rondoallaturca]

For what it's worth, I'll throw 9.14 out there if anyone's interested.
