Revisiting: The 2009 NBA Draft

While surfing the forums, I discovered the old 2009 NBA draft topic. It was interesting to see the emotions that flared that night.

Take a look at my favorite comments:

Look for my post when I said it was a terrible mistake to take Foye over Roy. I was screaming.

Now make a note about this flynn situation and let me know two years later.
(It’s been about a year and a half, so we’ll see what Flynn turns out by the end of the season.)

Last night was a roller coaster ride. I went from
ecstatic (Rubio at 5??!!) to
confused (Flynn at 6??) to
worried (are we gonna trade Rubio??) to
pissed (we're gonna f#%king trade Rubio...) to
reassured (we're gonna trade Flynn...) to
confused (we're gonna keep them both??)


So now, after all these months, who would you have drafted with the 5 and 6 picks? Would you have still taken a chance at Rubio? Would you go Rubio/Curry, or even Curry/DeRozan? I know it’s useless to ramble on about our past, but it’s always fun to look back and see what we thought of players at the time, and then look at them today.
