Nick Calathes, and then try and talk him out of playing in europe for a year

not a huge fan of this draft, don't make me break off and form my own NBA team

If we keep all three picks, this pick will be someone we can stash in in Europe for a year. My guess would be either Calathes, Casspi, Claver or Jonas Jerebko. Since Casspi is taken and and Claver doesn't seem to have much buzz, I think it's a toss up between Calathes or Jerebko. I'll go with Calathes because he's a listed choice and living near Gainesville I've seen play quite a bit, but I wouldn't be suprised at all to see Jerebko go in the first.

Then this was an exercise in lowering our expectations, thus providing a Happy Draft Day for Wolves fans. You sir are a genius! Honestly, I thank you.

I don't know how you do things in Australia, but over here we call that identity theft and its a felony

It's not a felony for Mills to change his name to Tony Parker while he plays out his career in the D-league. It's not like he's trying to steal Eva Longoria...or is he?

We wouldn't take DeRozan anymore, Henderson at #18 would be amazing.

My pick for #28 is Patrick Mills, he will be a very good player.

Man... urrgghhh...

Thats right, this draft thing started when veryone but me and 2 or 3 others had a hard on for bloody Derozen, god im glad that period is over.

We could have Stephen Curry and Gerlad Henderson instead... much better options

Yeah, DeRozan was a bad call on our part, but Henderson would be FANTASTIC at 18.

I pick Patrick Mills here
