Carney at #16... gotta be happy with that. Unless you are Carney.

There aren't combo guards in the NBA. He's a PG first and foremost.

Edit: Don't take that first statement too literally.

Hopefully the Knicks have another brain fart and he falls to my Cavs.

miami_fan · 06-28-2006, 08:13 PM

Solid Pick. Not too sure on the team. Isn't Carney the same type of player as Iguodala?

Groundhog · 06-28-2006, 08:14 PM

Poll on the Draft Cast: Should the Sixers have taken Marcus Williams? 77% yes, 23% no.

Yeah, pretty much. Still, you can play them both. Carney reminds me of Walt Williams for some reason.

Ah! Did you hear what Jay Bilas (the only smart man on that panel) just said?

You're kidding right? The Knicks draft another PG? Are Francis, Marbury, Crawford not enough?

Yes, but he's not playing on a four guard Villanova team anymore. He was drafted by the Wolves to be a PG. You aren't going to find 'CG' as his position at espn.com come October.

And none of those guys can actually pass the ball. They'll take a PG with one of their 2 picks, if a decent one is there.

Francis, Marbury and Crawford are all probably SGs. I guess the plan is take a PG and move Marbury to SG, have Crawford off the bench and try and get rid of Francis.

I'd personally go with a SF if I were the Knicks.

JeeberD · 06-28-2006, 08:17 PM

Damn! More trades!!!!!!!!!

He said point guard. Not small forwards disguised in a PG body!

I know...just messing around. And I don't doubt that he could be a reliable PG in the NBA...the guy is just a player.

JeeberD · 06-28-2006, 08:18 PM

Dola-

And Gay is still a Rocket.

Groundhog · 06-28-2006, 08:19 PM

WOW... Indiana don't take Farmar!! Slide Farmar - Slide!

Nice choice though. Shawne Williams is a guy I'd like the Cavs to have taken.

cartman · 06-28-2006, 08:20 PM

LaMarcus is now at risk to contract the Sam Bowie virus with his trade to Portland.

Groundhog · 06-28-2006, 08:24 PM

Wizards bite the Bullet (pun intended, this time) and take Pecherov. Everything I've read about this guy has been pretty positive, but he was expected to go in the mid-20s.

miami_fan · 06-28-2006, 08:26 PM

Where is Eurosport on my cable package when I need it.

jbmagic · 06-28-2006, 08:28 PM

You guys think Lakers will take UCLA Farmer?

SirFozzie · 06-28-2006, 08:29 PM

Love the Celtics trade. One year earlier on the contract, get rid of two stiffs, add some size to help Al Jefferson, and Telfair could breakout

Logan · 06-28-2006, 08:30 PM

Dooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuby!

Groundhog · 06-28-2006, 08:30 PM

There goes Douby. Darn.

miami_fan · 06-28-2006, 08:31 PM

Come on Isiah. Do something to give me a great laugh.

Groundhog · 06-28-2006, 08:32 PM

I still can't believe Marcus Williams is still in this.

Neuqua · 06-28-2006, 08:32 PM

Wow, I'm glad I'm not a Knicks fan.

sovereignstar · 06-28-2006, 08:33 PM

That New York guy would probably make a better GM than Isaiah.

Logan · 06-28-2006, 08:33 PM

Could they have found a bigger d-bag to represent the great city?

I always used Francis as a SF in NBA Live 2K4 and he dominated. Just sayin'...

Groundhog · 06-28-2006, 08:35 PM

Knicks can't screw this up... make the safe choice.

sovereignstar · 06-28-2006, 08:36 PM

ahahahahaha

JeeberD · 06-28-2006, 08:36 PM

WTF???

Eaglesfan27 · 06-28-2006, 08:36 PM

ROFL! Another classic move by the Knicks.

Groundhog · 06-28-2006, 08:36 PM

Holy shit.

I am speechless.

Groundhog · 06-28-2006, 08:37 PM

What was the crowd reaction?

Eaglesfan27 · 06-28-2006, 08:37 PM

Lots of booing.

Neuqua · 06-28-2006, 08:38 PM

The look on all the ESPN guys' faces is just pure gold.

Williams could be a great future replacement for Nash.

bselig · 06-28-2006, 08:38 PM

This guy looks like a 200 pound PF

hoopsguy · 06-28-2006, 08:38 PM

The crowd booed like crazy.

I thought the Knick fan was perfect.

The ESPN guys are just KILLING the pick.

IDIOCY.

Groundhog · 06-28-2006, 08:43 PM

I can understand that maybe the Knicks saw something in this guy that no one else did.. but damn, why not trade for a 2nd round pick and take him there??

Groundhog · 06-28-2006, 08:43 PM

The Michigan St guards, Marcus Williams and Lowry all still left. Should be a good draft for the Cavs.

Groundhog · 06-28-2006, 08:45 PM

How does Rondo fit in Phoenix? Interesting choice.

Groundhog · 06-28-2006, 08:45 PM

One of the PGs will go to the Nets for sure on one of these picks.

miami_fan · 06-28-2006, 08:46 PM

I think NJ takes Williams. The future after Kidd

Groundhog · 06-28-2006, 08:47 PM

Yeah, surely Williams goes now.

Groundhog · 06-28-2006, 08:48 PM

Yup. What a steal.
