i would have said Alexander prior to the trade, but they stuck with the guy everyone thought they'd select. Nice choice.

With the recent trade getting Richard Jefferson, I say they go in a different direction.

:D

He's from Mount Airy, just north of me.

Lets see if Jordan can blow a draft three times in-a-row

Alexander seems to have a chip on his shoulder. Damn that was a serious interview, dude didn't even crack a smile.

What are the Bucks planning to do with Jefferson & Alexander. Maybe they view Alexander as a PF?

Dat, you did say depending on what the Bucks do they might have passed the Wizards.

Jefferson destroyed the Wizards last time they met (and I know I said Bobby Simmons when healthy is nearly as good, but I'd take that back already with the quickness). Now he's with the Bucks.

Now they've got a power-dunking white dude who the Wizards won't defend well at all.

Wizards continuity better be good, Dat. That and Ryan Anderson. :)

I'd love to see EG grow a pair and trade up to get Bayless.

I guess they'll play him some at the 4? When you're a losing team, you usually don't use your pick on someone to be a 10 minute a game player.

So Bayless and good Lopez continue to slide.

They must see Alexander as a 8. He's the same size as Beasley and he has the hops. But will he be enough of a rebounder? It would be different if he were playing next to a monster center but I don't know if he and Bogut will be scaring anybody.

I think the Bobcats forgot they had Raymond Felton.

Idiots.

Augustine to compete against Felton, and they pass on Lopez....

Interestingly, MJ coming off the Carolina love.

Not a bad pick for the Bobcats, they need a PG anchor, and they will be able to pick up a big with their second pick.

Wiz should throw one together for either Bayless or Lopez!

Wow, not one C has been selected as of yet. There's like 9 or 10 C's in the draft that expected to go in the first round. A couple of those guys are going to be dissapointed.
