Does anyone know anything about Erick Green? I thought he was pretty good but I have no idea about college basketball. Lol

What's worse is we have another year of second round suffering to go.

UGH!

I don't like how we put down Harper so much.

Did he not pan out?...Maybe not.....How much of a shot was he even given though?

He wasn't highly touted coming out...we traded up to get him....& IMO failed to give him solid shot.

You will def see him back in the NBA.

Wasn't worth two good 2nds.

i think we really missed a big opportunity to trade with Minnesota and land McCollum.

then again, a Bazz + Dieng combo could really surprise, especially on that team.

i can't help but think there's a deal in the works between Portland and someone else, sending CJ there. perhaps Jordan for CJ + Leonard?

Portland only wanted McCollum or Zeller, McCollum was #1 on their board. Lillard wanted him, it's a good pick. They won't move him.

Dallas has to be trading Larkin to somebody, right?

But WHO THE EFF IS MAKING SHOTS FROM THE PERIMETER?

Andrew Harrison/Marcus Smart
Victor Oladipo
Moe Harkless
Tobias Harris
Nik Vuc

???Are we gonna draw 35 FTs a game???

I just don't like the mesh.

I think he is a serious sleeper...only player on VT, scored at will anyway. Good percentages, and got to the line a TON. Just needs to keep working on his passing.

The only standing ovation tonight will be when Adam Silver takes the podium.

Hindsight...TRUE 100%

Don't think Otis was shooting for our team having a top pick in the 2nd round.....Hell I would hope he still expected to have a job these days.

Nope, don't think so....I think their desire to keep him is why they included Jared Cunningham in the deal...shed Cunningham's salary so that keeping Larkin wouldn't hurt.

We all knew this would be the case if Dwight bolted though.

Thanks for answering. And yeah I've been very intrigued with this guy. I'm hoping he's on the board when we pick.

Nope I was def impressed by Green this year as well.

If you watched his games, there were so many possibilities spoiled by his teammates missing wide open shots or dropping passes.

Remaining PGs:

Zo Brown
Erick Green
Ray McCallum

Nice, cheer Stern and boo silver. Very well done fans.

Noonskadoodle · Post #1116 » by **Noonskadoodle** » Fri Jun 28, 2013 2:52 am

I gotta think the Cavs are going Tony Mitchell with one of these picks....Would be a really solid pick with their young core.

Garnett and Pierce to Nets will happen.

KG has agreed to it.

That is a wonderful tribute especially Hakeem coming out in the same suite as he wore in 1984
