I could live with almost any pair that doesn't include Kostas Koufos or Deandre Jordan.

ALLRIGHT here we go.... I am PSYCHED!

I don't want Rush or Chalmers personally but I'm not adamant about it.

I don't know how the top ten is gonna shake out we'll get a good idea of who will be there by pick #5. I'm really hoping the Griz don't trade that pick and Cardinal to NYK for Rose and Lee. I can't see it happening but I wouldn't put it past them. I know we can make a better offer than that.

No surprises at 1...now it gets interesting.

Now it gets interesting, pretty sure its Beasley, but who knows.

I like Koufos at #17, #11....no.

Post #11 » by **count55** » Thu Jun 26, 2008 11:50 pm

I like Koufos at 16 or 18, but not at 17.

I also like him at 10 or 12, but I wouldn't take him at 11.

Rose, Beasley, Mayo...I'm starting to think there won't be any surprises...Bayless next?

The LA and Seattle trade falling through has hurt my mock draft.

I don't like Koufos, I mean I don't hate him, but so many of these guys like him just don't pan out in the NBA. I really am starting to think Bayless may fall, I think he will get to the Bobcats and apparently they really like Randolph so there is a chance.

I would feel safer drafting Hibbert over Koufos though. I really like Arthur a lot too, he fits our offense.

Ouch, is it not going to happen? If so, I'm screwed too.

Dang, that's a reach. Westbrook at #4? I thought he was a reach at #7.

xxSnEaKyPxx · Post #16 » by **xxSnEaKyPxx** » Thu Jun 26, 2008 11:55 pm

Wow, this is starting to get crazy.

My draft is officially done though, I was banking on that trade happening.

Post #17 » by **PR07** » Thu Jun 26, 2008 11:58 pm

You should be fine. Very few people had Westbrook at #4 I'd imagine.

Bayless could still go to the Knicks or Clips. Memphis will go big here either Brook Lopez or Love. Look for the Knicks to either go Gillinari or Gordon.

Yea, but it also kills any chance of Bayless falling to us. :-(

draft express is 5 for 5 so far
