Totally agree with this. They made it sound like every team hit a home run with their pick.

Stu was talking to darn much, trying too hard to be funny. Please replace him with a respectable commentator that isnt trying too hard. And the less of SAS the better, he needs to be kept away from such shows.

I agree that Stuart Scott is a miserable choice for the draft. His personality is flat, his jokes are painful, and he's too low-key for the magnitude of the night.

You know who would do a good job hosting the draft? Jerome Williams (JYD). He has camera presence, he's funny, he's upbeat, and he knows basketball. That would be a big improvement.

anything stuat scott and SAS team up, its a recipe for disaster. also that transitional commercial where all the players name what it takes to be in the nba was getting ridiculously annoying by the time the 1st pick was made.

Put it back on TNT.

David Aldridge is a great rumors/scoops guy. Ernie Johnson>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>any hack on espn. Put Collins as the coach. Kenny and Charles for goofs.

It was an awful draft class.

Combined with the lack of on air trades , not even paris hilton being on fire wouldve saved it.

JVG is great. The problem with him and Marc Jackson on draft night was that they were out of their element. I think all the wasted time, and wait between picks killed the spontaneity of their analysis. too much dead air space

According to Bilas and the other guy...all these prospects are great. People hate on Mel Kiper but we need an NBA version of that guy.

Bilas was too nice...he probably felt bad about the Josh Smith thing...he gave him no chance..straight up called him a bust, screamed it out too so Josh Smith could hear it while he walked to the podium.

SAS needs to be back so better youtube videos of him eating cheese doodles can be made.
