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

unabrow ftw, not trademarked.

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.

 

[FalcoVol]

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

LULZ.

Anthony Davis is the next Kevin Garnett.

Because his offensive skill set is so...well, he's got D.

Who?

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.

 

[volinreallife]

I think the lakers might be going after that second pick

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.

 

[milohimself]

They should just award the whole draft to the bobcats

 

[GahLee]

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

 

[Kingston Vol]

Chad Ford just said on Mike & Mike that the Thunder are in talks with Charlotte to trade James Harden for the #2 pick.

I think Drummond will be a bust

 

[865dude]

I love the nba draft, because of all the trades.

 

[865dude]

The draft doesn't have many great players, but it's deep on guys that can have long nba careers.

I agree. #1 is obviously far better than anyone else, but it seems like #2 - #12 is pretty close.

I would not trade Harden, especially not for the number 2 in this draft.

 

[Kingston Vol]

He said they'd draft Beal. I think it would make a lot of sense because they're afraid they're not going to be able to re-sign Ibaka and Harden.

They'd have a player with similar talent, but be paying him much less.

They have to because of cap space.

 

[RikidyBones]

I want to see more of Beal before I deem him top 10. If he's a top 2 pick, how did Donovan not utilize him better?

 

[McCat]

Picks 2-12 will definitely be a wild ride.
