no surprise
IMO Conley hasn't play enough to qualify (same to Brooks as well)
but there's no other guard good enough
oh well

Pretty much expected, around 8 and 6 on 53% in this relatively weak rookie draft is a lock to get in.

Haha, isn't that ironic? Prior to the season, everyone was talking about how good this year's draft class was.

this year draft class is deep but only 2 with standout superstar material

we got Brooks and Landry in the 26th and 31st
both of them are good players

still a lot of them like those two Youngs still haven't got big minute to prove themselve

Yeah lol, it still has some nice talent, but only a handful of players have made immediate impacts on their teams.

I still think it's going to end up as a strong draft class. I think a lot of people are aying the class is weak because there hasn't been a lot of immediate impact. However, if you look around the league there are a lot of guys who are starting to get PT and they're beginning to make the most of it. Guys like Thaddeus Young, Jeff Green, Yi, Al Thornton, Mike Conley, Sean Williams, Al Horford, etc who are all looking very promising. Hell, even Joakim Noah had a double-double last night!

Yeah, I am not trying to argue the contrary. It was a deep draft, and with the stability of many teams' rosters, many rookies aren't getting enough opportunities. The NBA hasn't been this competitive in years.

I am just saying, considering the talent that these guys have, the haven't had much chance to show what they're capable of.
