Thompson's better all-around, and fits better than Jimmer in Utah.


I agree, but that may be the only fact with Jimmer to Utah. We'll see...

I've seen Klay Thompson play in HS and at Washington State and although I think he's a good player, I never figured he'd be a lottery pick. I guess the draft is really weak this season.






could be the reason why they still go for jimmer, kemba Walker said that the hype around him(Jimmer) during their work out in Utah astonish him. So the pick will give them PR, and thompson won't add that much to them too. Maybe they even passing on Knight at three, because and get kanter or Jonas insted with their first pick, because with PG there is more depth.

PS: How sure is it, that Knight get picked before Walker? Nearly all Mocks have it like that, but they all say it is close. I like Walkers play at UCLA(i watch it a bit because there was two germans) and so important players for a team a rare in college and they won the madness. Ok you might dd he is small, and that Knight have the better tools and might be better in some years.

If any of you are familiar with Bill Simmons and his new website, an interesting article: http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/6685360/grantland-nba...

Good point about Irving and Kanter but who else is there to get in this draft that has high potential like those two

Rumor in SoCal is that the Lakers are going to trade Gasol to Minnesota for Love and the #2 pick (presumably Derrick Williams from Zona).

Probably wouldn't happen, but is it a deal you make if your the Lakers or the Timberwolves?

Biyombo if his age is correct, bodywise he is a freak of nature, with good anticipation for the game and quite a raw skillset(which is ok when he is really 18)

Where can I watch a stream of the draft? Justin.tv doesn't seem to be it.

Why, Knicks, why?! Every year, they find new ways to surprise and disappoint on draft night.

There were boos from the crowd after the pick. Knicks fans really know how to make rookies feel welcome. :)

Bitterness on draft night is what we do best

(Though in our defense, was Shumpert even there? I didn't even think he'd be a high second round pick.)

If the Lakers trade Gasol it's gonna be a great loss for them. Even though he didn't do much in the playoffs he is a great player and a great PF, I don't think it's gonna happen.


What do you think about Boston's picks? I've never heard of the JaJuan Johnson and E'Twaun Moore dynamic duo from Purdue, but maybe someone can shine some light on this:)

the chanche for the Love Gasol trade is over, and even when i think that Gasol is slightly better then love it would be a good Deal for the Lakers because of the age even without the number 2 draft pick.

Johnson is ok, a solid pick for some minutes but no future star in my eyes.
