Running 2008 NBA Draft Thread

Brook Lopez = comedian. Line of the night - "This is boooring" as he sat at his table in the green room. Then his reaction when he was told his coach's name was Lawrence Frank. "LAWRENCE Frank!"

 

Darrell "Brady Quinn" Arthur.

Oh wait. I think Stuart beat me to it.

 

Stern: Kosta Koufos is not here.

Well, um, Arthur still is. Come on up Darrell and pick you out a hat, any hat.

 

This is becoming the phrase of the night. Is Stern or whomever replaces him going to say that for every pick in the second round?

 

I heart Jeff Van Gundy.

 

anyone see the AP picture of Rose with a certain Chicago columnist in the background? Fantastic.

 

I didn't. Post it!

 

Well, Chalmers, Arthur, and Green are all still on the board.

Batum was a major target for San Antonio. Let's see if the Spurs go with an American college player, or throw pick the Croatian who will never play for them.

 

That's beyond my skills on this board. Maybe someone else will be kind enough.

 

(Fanboi looser reaction)

IUPUI?
