What the Sonics do might be interesting.

Groundhog · 06-28-2006, 07:34 PM

Hm. Marcus Williams might be in for a big fall. Can't see any team until like Indiana who might be interested in him.

Really? I guess somebody should have reminded the facts that.

Stats as a sophmore:

Code:

		PTS	FG%	AST	REB	STL	TO
Foye	   	13.5	.387	3.6	4.7	1.6	3.6
Rondo	   	11.2	.482	4.9	6.1	2.0	2.3
Williams        9.6	.407	7.8	3.8	1.1	3.3

Likes to cook, exciting. The draft needs to get back to TNT.

Dammit. Someone mentioned that a Minny trade was possible since they took POR's guy. What the hell are they getting besides Foye?

Desagana Diop x 2 just got drafted...

bselig · 06-28-2006, 07:36 PM

Picking a center in this area is supposed to be one of the worst risks in the draft

Groundhog · 06-28-2006, 07:37 PM

Phew... Sonics take the other bust-to-be.

.273 from long range? .571 from FT?!

miami_fan · 06-28-2006, 07:39 PM

So the Warriors replace Foyle with a Foyle look alike with potential. The Sonics then pick Jerome James lite.

sovereignstar · 06-28-2006, 07:40 PM

Great. So the T-wolves picked Roy so they could get Foye at a cheaper price? What a bunch of cheesedicks.

Groundhog · 06-28-2006, 07:42 PM

Good pick by Orlando IMO.

miami_fan · 06-28-2006, 07:43 PM

Reddick's been picked. Get Dicky V a tissue please!

bselig · 06-28-2006, 07:44 PM

Vitale demanding tickets as a quid-pro-quo for hyping up Redick in college.

NCAA needs to investigate

Hilton Armstrong to Hornets. Interesting. I heard people were cooling on him as the draft approached.

I start shaking every time Stern says there's a trade to announce...

JeeberD · 06-28-2006, 07:54 PM

Dola-

Is this the first Swiss basketball player evar?

Neuqua · 06-28-2006, 07:54 PM

I won't even try to say the Sixers draft pick's name out loud.

Eaglesfan27 · 06-28-2006, 07:54 PM

Anyone know much about Thabo Sefolosha?

Neuqua · 06-28-2006, 07:56 PM

lol nevermind.

Looks like my Bulls just traded for him.

I hadn't heard of him until a few days ago. Nbadraft.net says:

NBA Comparison: Reece Gaines (YIKES!0

Strengths: Has improved considerably in the past year ... A catch and shoot guy ... His offensive game has made great strides, last year he could barely shoot, and now he appears much more confident ... The Italian team he plays for runs a wide open offense which has really helped his game ... Extremely long limbs ... Since adding 10-15 pounds in the past year, he is less afraid of playing physical ... His ball handling and passing ability are his strengths ... Really excels handling the ball ... His defense has improved, always looking for steals, and quickly turns them into fast break opportunities ... Attacks the rim well with excellent leaping ability and body control ...

Weaknesses: Last year he lacked intensity, but he has improved upon it ... Lacks a tremendous offensive feel ... Tends to use his athleticism to his advantage, maybe too much, which he wont be able to do against American players ... Still must improve his offensive game a lot ... Some have doubts about his leadership ability ... His ability to shoot off the dribble is in question ... His midrange game needs a lot of work ... Lacks range on his shot ...

Definately. That's why I figured they'd grab Ronnie Brewer.

miami_fan · 06-28-2006, 07:58 PM

FWIW Draft Express has compared him to Josh Howard.

Eaglesfan27 · 06-28-2006, 07:59 PM

Sigh. It seems like there are more trades in this draft than most.

Groundhog · 06-28-2006, 08:00 PM

Marcus Williams, Rodney Carney and Brewer all still in the race..

Indeed. GREAT pick that low. They need a big guy, but Brewer is too good to pass on.

Groundhog · 06-28-2006, 08:02 PM

Hornets should take Carney.

Yeah, It fits our needs big time...they were hoping Reddick would drop down.

He will be the 2 guard we need big time...Fingers crossed on this one.

I agree with the trades making it exciting, but I was reading about the Swiss player and liking what I was reading. Then, the Sixers trade him away. I thought he could compliment Iverson well (assuming that we change our mind and keep Iverson.) That is what the sigh was about.

JeeberD · 06-28-2006, 08:05 PM

Is Gay still officially a Rocket? I haven't missed anything, have I?

Logan · 06-28-2006, 08:05 PM

I go and take care of something for a few minutes, and I miss out on about 6 trades. Foye got traded twice? Is there a good site that is giving recaps?

Groundhog · 06-28-2006, 08:06 PM

That could be a good pick for the Hornets.

I'd like to know, too. They aren't recapping them in the Draft Cast.

Neuqua · 06-28-2006, 08:10 PM

So the Bulls traded their #16 pick to Philadelphia for their #13 straight up? How does that even happen?

sovereignstar · 06-28-2006, 08:10 PM

No PG's have been picked yet? What the hell is Foye, you douchebag (Patrick)?

JeeberD · 06-28-2006, 08:10 PM

Solid pick there...

Probably some cash included just like the Wolves-Blazers deal.

He's a combo guard. Cut him some slack.

If Marcus Williams gets past Indiana at 17, he could fall to the Knicks at 20. That would completely make up for losing the #2.
