Running 2008 NBA Draft Thread

Yi is not a stiff. Watched him a little last year and he's got quickness for a 7 footer, something that is pretty rare. He's also got some shooting touch. He does not back down from the physicality. He just needs more time. He's not Milicic.

 

Notice how all the mock drafts on the different sites are all over the board on what order most of these guys will be taken? I dare them to keep those available for tomorrow to see whose held up the best. (they won't).

Seems like a complexing draft based on that.

I say Riley doesn't take Beasley, unless he's got him locked in a trade right off.

 

I love how they have shown the Bulls draft room twice and everybody is just sitting there, not talking with nothing to do.

 

Rose goes No. 1

I really, really hope Steven A. Smith isn't handling all the post-pick interviews tonight.

 

Beasley at 2.

 

OJ Mayo to Minnesota at No. 3.

It's nice he'll be close enough to Indianapolis that his daylong NCAA deposition won't be too far of a flight, when the time comes.

 

Russell Westbrook to the Sonics at No. 4.

And unfortunately, the Stephen A. Smith interviews continue.

Every goddamn answer is "I just want to go out and help the team..."

 

Five freshmen to start the draft, with two more (Gordon and Bayless) who could go next.

This NBA age limit is a complete joke.

 

Love to Memphis at 5.

Apparently, the Grizzlies offense will consist entirely of Love jacking up 90-foot chest pass/3-pointers.

After the game, they'll go cow tipping.

 

Knicks go with Gallinari.

Fans boo.

 

Can't wait for this interview

 

The Italian kid just got his ass eaten up by the Knicks fans.
