The Official 2007 NBA Draft Thread

I'm gonna guess Milwaukee takes Brandan Wright.

I like Green a lot, however, if he's going to Seattle I'm still unsure how he fits with Durant. Also, I don't think Green is the fifth best player in the draft.

 

Honestly, I think the talent from 5 to the middle of the first round is fairly clustered together. I don't think very much separates someone like Jeff Green from Thaddeus Young, you know?

 

Yeah, that's basically my point. If you just took a SF at #2, why would you take one again at #5, unless he was clearly the best prospect available? He's not, he's in a group of about 10 players that I consider very close.

I go with Yi.

Nice call.

Awesome. I'm pumped that the Bucks too Yi. I hope they don't trade him. I don't like when players (or countries) try to influence where they go.

Right you are.

 

Considering Milwaukee doesn't have much of a Chinese population and that was part of the deal with Yi, something tells me they won't be keeping that pick...

Haha, i know, right.

I wonder if the Bucks could trade Yi for Monta Ellis, the 18, and a future first rounder?

That's been rumored. Seems like a fair trade, though I have no idea how to evaluate Yi.

I think they'll keep him - I bet they're salivating at the prospect of tapping in to the 1 billion+ Chinese market and are going to try their darndest to keep Yi. It's tougher for a draft pick to force a trade now then when Steve Francis was drafted.

[Guest]

Good pick for the Timberwolves.

[soccer10k]

Good pick for the T-Wolves.

Mike gonna go with the Tarheel?

[Exile on Waveland]

I'd guess Brandon Wright, so yes.

[ChiCubsFan]

Mike gonna go with the Tarheel?

 

Guess so. Here comes Noah.

[Guest]

Huh, they talk up MJ wanting an NBA-ready player and then they take Brendan Wright. Amsuing.

 

Bulls will take Noah here.

[soccer10k]

I can hear it now: "With the ninth pick the Chicago Bulls select, Joakim Noah".

 

Mainly I just want to see Raisin's reaction when it happens.

[Outshined_One]

Not too happy about the upcoming Noah selection, but oh well, the Bulls will end up getting 2 of the Top 3 players eligible for the 2006 draft.

 

I'll take it.

When did we trade for Brandon Roy or Lamarcus Aldridge?

He owes me two Bulls national championships. And he should play with a paper bag over his head. That is all.

[DurbanJer]

Wright is going to be schooled by MJ shortly. Tried to call the guy out. LOL
