2009 NBA Draft Thread

[Tryptamine]

This draft has some serious Pittsburgh hate. Blair was rated 14 and Sam young was rated 21.

[Derwood]

huh, when did that happen?

[Magnetic Curses]

who the hell is Gar Forman?

 

apparently, he's the bulls' GM. i had no idea.

 

What happened to Pax? How did I miss this?

 

no, pax moved upstairs, i just hadn't realized that they had named a GM yet. like i said, reinsdorf has had it with the bulls, he pretty much won't allow anything at this point.

[hawkeyecub]

Alright Joe, he's right there for you. Please don't screw it up. And then find someone who wants Max and his bloated contract.

[Derwood]

DeJuan

 

GASP

 

Summers

 

LOL

And the Pistons select DaJuan....Summers.

[hawkeyecub]

He had to say DaJuan and get my hopes up. Wrong DaJuan Joe.

 

I do like the Summers pick though.

Would taking Thabeet and Blair in the same draft be ridiculous? I don't think it would and I think I'd like Memphis to take Blair here.

[Tryptamine]

DeJuan

 

GASP

 

Summers

 

LOL

 

I'm starting to wonder if Blair is even going to be taken. To fall this low he must been hiding peg legs during his time in college.

rod thorne could be michale moore's dad.

And then laugh when #36 has a better career than #2.

Which could be the case with Detroit and #35 compared to #15

[Flames24Rulz]

That was great when Stu asked Rod Thorn why he traded Vince Carter to which some fan in the background yells, "CAUSE HE SUCKS."

 

Shut up with your UNC crap, Stu and retire from broadcasting already.

Haha, may be true. I'm not thrilled with the Thabeet pick, but he should be able to play good defense inside and grab some rebounds.

Except that he was infinitely better in college and it wasn't even close.

 

Seriously even if he had a knee amputated you take him at this spot.

[TruffleShuffle]

dajuan blair is going to be one of those guys that everyone thinks should have gone higher, then he has a nice nba career, and people wonder how the hell he got deep into the second round.

[bukie]

Well, there goes Sam Young, so it looks like scouts did actually see Pitt play last year.

[dew1679666265]

I like this pick. Grizzlies needed somebody who could score some points and Young will do that.

 

I wanted one of Blair or Young here, so I'm happy.

Carlos Boozer part 2.

Finally

[TruffleShuffle]

hahaha i love that the spurs basically bolted to the podium to get blair's name in.

[bukie]

DeJuan Blair to the Spurs.

[bukie]

Yeah, it was the Spurs first pick of the draft, too. I wonder if they're just shocked right now.
