*Waits for Laker homer to proclaim Lakers the biggest winners of teh draft, just as they were when they drafted Jordan Farmar and Javaris Crittenton*

Winner: Bulls. Lucking out into getting #1 and Rose.

The biggest unexpected winner was Portland... again... Thats some job they are doing over there. It may be a stretch to call them a future dynasty already but no young team has a better chance at becoming one.

The Spurs have had some awful drafts in recent years. Its been years since the Spurs drafted a player that actually contributed to the team.

As a Net fan, it's incredibly hard to get over the Anderson pick, even with Lopez and CDR falling to us.

Big losers of the draft for me was the Wizards, especially after the Bill Walker trade. Throw in the Cavs.

Winners: NJN, Portland, Boston, Potentially Miami.

I love how you guys act as you can tell who wins and loses the draft. Wait a few years before you really decide.

What's the fun in that?

Should we not do Mock Drafts either?

Agreed. It is not like we are ripping teams, saying these players will never amount to anything, we are just judging on what we have seen in the NCAA.

Winners: I love what miami did in this draft.
