Re: The Draft Thread
Davis Bertans is our pick at 42. 6-10 SF out of Latvia that shoots the lights out.

Re: The Draft Thread
Yeah I guess Spurs will have few more international fans now :p From the looks he will stay in Europe and play in euro league for at least 1 more year, but i bet spurs will keep him there for 2.

Re: The Draft Thread
Hanga looks really good in his highlight reel. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up developing into a star the way Manu did.

Re: The Draft Thread
The shocker of the draft has to be Tristan Thompson going 4th to Cleveland, that came out of nowhere.

I don't think he was all that good, helped the Longhorns to underachieve...

Re: The Draft Thread
He's got potential, but he's an undersized PF who's best skill is his offensive rebounding. He's going to need to put in alot of work to justify being the 4th overall pick.
I have no idea why Cleveland passed on Jonas Valanciunas. So what if you have to wait a year for him. Center prospects like him are rare, if your going to gamble the you should of gambled with Valanciunas.

Sixer fan here just trolling along to say that I really like the fact that you guys got Leonard added to the team. I think he could start right away for you guys. I think he may end up being the best defensive player in this draft and his rebounding is elite.

Re: The Draft Thread
I agree, Cavs were wrong about the 4th pick. They drafted 3 PF plus Jamison and Hickson.. wtf??
Though they got Irving, they will have a really bad record this year so they will get a top pick next year. That's why they should've waited for Vaci...

Re: The Draft Thread
I think the Cavs panicked and took someone they knew was a lesser talent than Valanciunas because they were put off by the details of his buyout and wanted someone right away. Dumb move IMO. From what I've heard of Valanciunas, a year will be worth the wait.

Specially when it's an year were they won't make to the playoffs and tickets will be sold only with the n°1 pick. With the lack of centers in the league, it was just very stupid move.

I also happen to believe that Thomspson isn't all that good...
