Osby seems like another good player.

Osby looks pretty good. I did not get to watch him as much but after the pick of Kyle O'Quinn last year, I think Rob Hennigan has earned some second round credibility.

Are people really getting upset over the 51st pick?

He won't make the roster. We need a point guard. If it's possible to fail at 51, this would be one, but who knows. Would have taken a PG.

Jesus... At some point you've gotta add talent, as well. Denver showed that. San Antonio showed that. You need guys who can carry a team.

Still... This team is gonna have a fantastic attitude. Has me concerned they'll play so hard they play us out of a top pick next year! :wink:

Osby is def a Henny pick.

VERSATILEEEEEEEE

He can play big/play small...Good rebounder & can hit jumpers if need be.

Expect to see some undrafted point guards to make the summer roster.

Honestly, it didn't really matter who we picked at 51.

We can get a look at some of these other guys in a few weeks.

Simmons is the man. Definitely made the draft more entertaining.

Would have taken Lorenzo Brown, Kapongo, or any PG with 51.

Out of curiosity, who could we have drafted that could potentially carry a team?

After the draft is there an UDFA process like the NFL? Excuse my lack of knowledge... :lol:

There goes Zo Brown.....At 52 like Bilas said, one HELL of a value pick at the PG spot, a 6 foot 5 PG who led one of the best conferences in the ACC in assists??? I would have signed up for that over Osby.

LEAD THE ACC IN ASSISTS IN JUST YOUR SECOND SEASON EVER PLAYING THE PG POSITION?

Sign me up man.

The plan might be to play out the year with Jameer, hope for Wiggins, if you don't get Wiggins, Smart/Harrison/Hill will be options next year. If we do get Wiggins, John Wall becomes the target for free agency.
