Re: Official NBA Draft Thread - Merry Christmas!!!
Hi guy's. I have one ask tonight - but it's a very important one to me:
PLEASE LET THE COMMISH ANNOUNCE THE PICKS AND NO ONE ELSE!!!!!
Don't post tweets of who teams are taking before they are announced or blogs of who teams are taking before they are announced or websites of who teams are taking before they are announced etc.
This is especially important for our board members who are streaming or watching on delay and also following our board. Nothing worse than the pick being posted before its announced.
You don't get a prize for being the first to post who a team is taking. Again, please just leave it up to the Commish.
Thanks.

I'm ready to accept Gomez Tiny Harris into our framily.

Really hoping someone falls to us at 9, we can get shooters later at 24. (Randle, Vonleh, Gordon are the ones I want)

I seriously doubt we draft Harris at 9. I'll eat my sock on webcam live if true.

Good news for Mr.KIA i think...
It's a smokescreen to make Cleveland think we're heavily invested in Andrew Wiggins so that they may take him, knowing that Hinkie is much more advanced than their new GM. I think the Cavaliers just called our bluff though
Yea, I think they called yall bluff. Philly need a alpha and Wiggedy Wiggins is not that. Yall not getting Parker. Better be happy with Exum and try again next year. Lol

Mudiay is an alpha, every tanking team will be moving onto him as soon as the college season starts.

I missed the chance to see him live but my brother said he's kinda overrated. I like the fact that he went against the grain and chose SMU. These new cowards prefer to team up and ride success instead of creating it. I think I might become a big Mudiay fan.

Re: Official NBA Draft Thread - Merry Christmas!!!
i took the day off work today (1st vacation day since easter, last vacation day til probably september) to watch soccer and the draft. such a busy day required a mid-afternoon nap. so i crawled in bed at 4pm for a little nap. woke up at 5:30PM, couldnt remember what day it was, but in my mind i knew there was something really awesome that i needed to wake up to do. took me about 30 seconds before i woke up enough to remember the NBA draft and then i got super excited about today all over again.

Agreed, it takes a man with balls to play college ball with Larry Brown. I was impressed when he decided to go to SMU.

Who hates MKG? He's probably the most beloved out of all of the draft picks during the Cho era on this board
Outside of this board, there is indeed a lot of irrational hate towards MKG without understanding that he was the biggest key to Charlotte having a top-10 defense
I understand why some may currently love Aaron Gordon a little more than MKG though. It's because Gordon is primarily a PF that don't know how to shoot versus MKG being primarily a wing that don't know how to shoot
Besides, shiny new things are always better

Re: Official NBA Draft Thread - NO TWITTER SPOILERS ALLOWED!
I would trade MKG for Aaron Gordon straight up. And I'm a MKG Lover.
Gordon's D will be on the same level and hes bigger, more fluid, and can be a PF and can guard LeBron.
Of course not everyone feels the same way. But I like Kemba-Stephenson-McDermott-Gordon-Jefferson as a starting lineup next season, even if it is starting two rookies.
