May 22, 200719 yr I'll be shocked if Acie goes Top 10...maybe he sneaks into the tail end of the lottery. Most years, he's a Top 10 guy, but there are too many guys coming out this year, with all those freshmen and half of the Gators team. Plus, he's got that Senior tag on him, and NBA execs just LOVE potential...somehow a guy becomes a senior and it's like his game can't grow any more. We'll see, you may be right, and maybe he drops in at like 12, but I don't think so. As for McRoberts, I have no idea what to expect from him...he does a lot of things well, but nothing great, and sometimes the best role players are the guys who can do one thing better than just about anyone else, like play defense, or knock down a 3, or be a beast on the boards. It's nice that McRoberts has a good handle for a big man, and that he's a good passer, but I don't know how much he's going to be asked to do either of those things in the NBA. He's too slow with his back to the basket, and not powerful enough, to be a good post player...so, I don't know what he's going to do in the NBA. As you said, a team like the Suns would be a great fit for him because then he can get out and run and bring all those different things to the table that a lot of big men can't give you.
May 22, 200719 yr The Celtics are so due for some lottery luck. I hope the Big Man upstairs heard you......
May 22, 200719 yr suns have to trade their first 2 first rounders and marion for pick #2 if only isaiah were picking there, maybe he'd do it i think id stay up til 1 am every single night to watch that team
May 23, 200719 yr Oden was just interviewed on ESPN by Dan Patick and I know it's been said a million times but there is no freakin way that Greg Oden is only 18. Good lord! The man looks a solid 5-6 years older than Dan Patrick.
May 23, 200719 yr Wait, is he really supposed to be 18? That's like that huge African kid in the Little League World Series this past year. That was just ridiculous.
May 23, 200719 yr Is anyone watching this crap? They just talked about Yi for a few minutes and then Fred Hickman said, "and the irony of it all is Yao Ming came from China and broke into the league 5 yrs ago!".... thats not ironic
May 23, 200719 yr Wait, is he really supposed to be 18? That's like that huge African kid in the Little League World Series this past year. That was just ridiculous. Well maybe he is 19 now, but whatever he is the man makes my father look like Tyler Clippard.
May 23, 200719 yr So it's Seattle, Atlanta and Portland? Atlanta's pick goes to Phoenix unless it is #1 or is it top 3 protected?
May 23, 200719 yr Blazers got lucky as hell holy crap. Also, thank God Atlanta won't be getting Durant or Oden. We already have enough trouble with Dwight Howard.
May 23, 200719 yr Portland's going to be real good in a year or two... Was hoping Pheonix would get that pick. And HAHA Boston. Where did Memphis land? I was watching the Marlin game and don't see anything online.
May 23, 200719 yr Seattle is a pretty solid team already. Durant is going to turn them into the Phoenix Suns lite.
