True story: I was dating a chick in the mid 90's when Once Were Warriors was released. We rented the video one night at watched it at her parents house (she still lived at home - we were young).

I stayed the night, sleeping in the lounge room.

I hardly slept a wink all night.

Her Dad is Maori.

Payton Pritchard looks like a sympathy pick.

Like Ainge went to high school with Pritchard's Dad and let Ainge copy off him during a pivotal exam or something and now Pritchard's Dad is cashing in on that favour.

There is going to be some talent left at 32. McDaniels, Bey, Terry, Oturu, Bane, all could be rotation players next year

If Terry is still available and is picked at #32, this means Ball was a Hornet for a kinda short time ?

I thought Oturu would be selected before Azubukie.

Guess the traditional centre isn't done and dusted after all!!

McDaniels all the way, I want more brothers on this team! Does Devante or Monk have any brothers in this draft?

South African accent would like to have a word with you, yeah?

A South African dude moved to my school for a year in 9th grade. He was a pretty hilarious character other than being insanely racist.

There was this super annoying kid in the town at the time who would follow people around on his bike and throw rocks and talk trash to them until they would try to chase him and then hed speed off on his bike. The first interaction the South African kid had with the annoying kid went as follows. Annoying kid rides up to South African dude and starts talking smack and throwing rocks. South African kid calmly walks back into his house without saying a word, then comes back outside with a BB gun and immediately shoots the annoying bike kid. Bike kid rides off crying. After that the annoying kid rarely antagonized people like that anymore.

Changed my mind, Daniel Oturu is the only Center I like as a possibility at 32.....

There is some talent there that I didn't expect to be available

Oturu and Carey are still on the board. Might be nice to land one of those two - for centre depth if nothing else?
