2014 NBA Draft Thread

[Mr October]

Let the hate for Julius Randle begin!

Ever since the draft order was set, i thought Randle was exactly what the Lakers needed at number 7.

Wow Stauskas. Vonleh is going downhill fast

This draft totally blows imo so far.  I wanted Gordon (or Exum) at 6, instead we get Andre Miller 2.0, a solid player but the Wade or other comparisons have to stop, they are ridiculous, Smart is nowhere near as fluid as a Wade.  Stupid Jazz, we had the same freaking record yet they played in a MUCH tougher conference, yet we end up with 6th thanks to a freaking coin flip. 

Also, this draft has been completely boring so far, no shockers whatsoever, for all the hype of movement/trades.

stasukas?  mclemore gone?

So excited to get Marcus Smart.

Guy is going to be a regular fixture on the All-Defensive teams for 10 years and he has an offensive game too. Creates so many extra possessions for his team. Love it.

No concerns about his Bball IQ?

Smart helps his team so much in so many ways that the odd decision making mistake won't doom him. Not worried about it.

[Draft XIV]

We need to make big moves.

A 6-2 shooting guard that can't shoot...

smart is not a shooting guard.

He is if you keep Rondo.

No. Smart is going to be a very good player and will make an impact right away. The roster needs a"cleanup" now.

Less talented, less crazy Westbrook?

Source: Boston Celtics passed on Noah Vonleh partly due to character concerns. #NBADraft

Vonleh has "great character" but potentially quit on his team out of concern for his draft status?

[ImShakHeIsShaq]

I'm still mad about Gordon but you know me... I'm about to push Smart as if he is the second coming LOL!!!

[SaCaCh]

Smart for good or bad reminds me of Antoine

[Celtics39]

So pumped about Smart!!!! Celtics baby!! Him and Rondo gonna be so sick together.

[knuckleballer]

Well we are now half way to the worst case scenario I pointed out days before the draft. I was afraid that the Celtics would get Smart or Randle and then Hood, Young and McDermont and Staukas would all be gone before 17. We shall see if my worst case happens-grumble, grumble.

So it's your fault the worst case scenario is happening.   

[Beat LA]

Stauskas at 8.  Wow   Btw, I've gotten this twice just trying to view the pages in this thread.  Let's hope we don't break the blog haha.
