Yes, I'm sure that was a typo. Probably meant, "Didn't think Booker would be available at No. 13."

Dont worry everyone on this board has better contacts than Gambo.

Lol. But seriously though, if the Suns take yet another guard in the 2nd, I'm going to start worrying.

We need an all guard team to face Philly's all Center team.

He'll have a 10+ year career as a sharp shooter, if he even becomes a ridiculous shooter like Korver... he can start for many teams.

I suppose, 18 years old... I think McD sends him to the D-league all season to work on his other skills. He might not likely bother anyone for minutes until next season.

I am tired of drafting very young players that can not play in the league. I want that the NBA changes the rules and put a minimum profesional experience or two years of college at minimum.

I really wanted Nance in the 2nd.

I was only going to stay awake until Harrell was drafted to see if we would trade for him. I thought he was gonna go like an hour ago. Not looking forward to work tomorrow >.>

I really hope we trade up for Looney.

Dreaming costs nothing. Dump Tucker for anything.

Hell of a summer league dynasty this franchise is putting together. Can Sarver move the team to Lexington and let the city of Phoenix start over with an expansion team?

How is Booker in any way a combo guard? He's 6" 6 and plays off the ball. He's a shooting guard.

“I ran the point on my high school team and faced a lot of double teams,” Booker said. “I had to learn to get my shot off the dribble. I just don’t get open shots here. Everything is off the dribble. That’s why I would say I am more of a combo guard now.

Thunder just waltzing around everyone and building a potentially super-team.
C: Kanter / Adams
PF: Ibaka
SF: Durant
SG: Waiters / Roberson
PG: Westbrook / Payne

Even play Payne and Westbrook together.... letting Payne get to Thunder is just ridiculous. Their GM is a genius.

Jonathan Givony ‏@DraftExpress 6m6 minutes ago

Kevon Looney and his party left their Green Room table, despite not hearing his name selected yet. Very sad.

Dunno what to make of this... still would like to trade up and take a chance on him though

I think pairing him with Booker is actually a good thing.
Goodwin gets an open lane due to Booker commanding attention... Booker getting the ball as Goodwin penetrates and gives him an open look.

Gerald Green is also out IMO..

Booker also wont get much minutes until next year... he's 18 afterall.
