2012 NBA Draft Thread

Fantastic draft. I think there are loads of good players. Quick rundown for me.

Lottery Bust: Dion Waiters
Lottery Steal: Jeremy Lamb
Non-Lottery Steal: Kendall Marshall
Potential all-stars: Anthony Davis, Brad Beal, MGK, Kendall Marshall, Andre Drummond, Jeremy Lamb

This draft class utterly blows. The top guy is a Camby at best and the rest are all maybes.

How do you think Houston feels? They have 20 picks in the first round alone.

Deep with plenty of good to very good players. Only one franchise guy though.

LULZ.

Anthony Davis is the next Kevin Garnett.

Davis has a decent game. He's got a way to go, but with athleticism, wingspan, and his touch (he's got great touch for a big man) he can average 20 a game. Go look at Garnett's offensive stats the first couple years.

Garnett didn't average 20 till he was 22, and didn't shoot 50% from the field till he was 26.

I think MKG will have the biggest impact out of anybody in this draft.

This. There will be one high quality guy simply because of the law of averages, but I can't remember the last time I looked at a draft class and saw zero guys with serious all nba potential.

No he isn't.

This is the second time you've projected a pick to be a HOF player.

Like BPV said, he's Marcus Camby. Which is not really worthy of a number one pick.

Which means this class really, really sucks.

I don't think Waiters will be a bust

And he may not be a lottery pick
