NBA Draft

[Rebels on 3]

Thoughts

What's there to think about? I patiently watched every minute of the first round and listened to every minute of the second, and when the smoke cleared, I confess that I dont understand how they do things in the NBA and why they do them the way they do.

How many picks were made and then traded for the rights to someone else who had been drafted by someone else. You not only cant tell the players without a scorecard; you cant even tell which team the players will be playing for. This was my last year watching the NBA draft. It's bad enough hearing names called that no one outside of an NBA front office has ever seen play, but in the future, I'll just wait for the Cols Dispatch to tell me who is playing for who.

The parade of draft picks getting their mug shots with the commissioner wearing the hat of the team that had drafted them is a joke. Many of them will never play for that team.

BUT.....until the Dispatch comes out, who does everyone think had the best draft? Who got better and who didnt?

And the worst thing of all, is the entire league is being held hostage financially until they find out if they are going to be players for any of the prima donna free agents and how they will affect their cap room.

Even coaches are on hold. Byron Scott is the next choice of the Cavs, but he wants the Laker job, which isnt open as of now. So the Cavs are waiting, and Scott is waiting, and the clock is ticking.

Freaking soap opera if you ask me!

my sentiments as well............Sure am glad the Hawks got who they wanted......

I dont think any team got better from the draft. Maybe Washington because they got Wall.

All 5 of Kentuckys ball players went in the top 30 in the first round.

Its going to take more than Wall if Arenas doesnt come back, and they already got rid of Jamison.

DO YOU THINK ARENAS, IF HE COMES BACK WILL GIVE WALLS HAND GUN SAFETY TRAINING IN A NO GUN ZONE ARENA?

The draft this year was a joke. Where teams are getting rid of players so they can make a run at max contract players. The LeBron James mess is making it hard for teams to have an idea about who may or may not be on certain teams. Also some teams was drafting players so they would not be paying them while they play in Europe.

Teams should have remembered that the Dream Teams had talent but had a hard time with team chemistry. Much like the NBA All Star game. Just because you have 1,2 or 3 max contract players will not translate to NBA championships. Role and Bench players play a big role in getting to winning a championship. Also they are there if one of the max players gets hurt. This is still a team game.

Wall will not make Wash better by himself. He is not a shooter. He will be like Rondo. Some games he will play great and some he will not. He needs to be a part in a team not the team. Having Arenas on the team will depend on did he grow up while he sat out games. Also is his body able to play. So that could have a negative effect on Wall.
