Post#1 » by Scoot McGroot » Thu Jun 23, 2011 10:44 pm

Hey all,

Looks like it's going to be an interesting night. Feel free to post any and all random draft discussion throughout the evening in this thread.

Let's see how well/long the RealGM server's hold up tonight!

Really hoping we come away from this draft with Kenny Faried. But I think a higher rated prospect has a good chance of falling to us. Don't get too high too quick on whoever we draft - there is likely to be a lot of movement tonight.

I feel like Kemba or B. Knight is going to fall, just a gut feeling. Maybe not to #15.

I like the Moorehead St. dude who I always forget his name cause I'm dumb. That's assuming we don't get the #2 pick which I mean c'mon, I'm sure we will.

Anybody think I will have to change my sig by the end of the night?? Hmmm

I should've changed it a year ago. Or really just never had it. I don't dislike him or anything, but ya know.

If one of them does fall to #15, I feel like you have to take them and then look to move Darren Collison for value.

Depending on what Sacramento does, maybe they're looking for a PG? Either way, it looks like Marcus Thornton is now in a position to walk, as Sacramento is loaded on the wings with Evans, Garcia, Green, Casspi, and now Salmons. Really, that doesn't make a ton of sense.

Oh, and did anyone else see that Ron Artest filed legal paperwork to change his name to "World Peace"?


Yeah, Ron has got his ish together.

Me neither. It just seems like Bird would be annoyed with the lack of growth season over season with Brandon.

I think Knight could be the best player in the draft in the end. Oh yeah, I went there (now he'll be a bust)

Kemba on the other hand... Idk. I think we could trade our pick for someone who needs a PG and make a deal. I like DC over Kemba right now. That means Kemba will be a superstar.
