Yep. [url="http://espn.go.com/blog/boston/celtics/post/_/id/4685016/draft-profile-jordan-williams"]Link[/url]

I agree with your last point though.

Interesting. He's got a lot of work to do. Too small for a 5 in the NBA, and not nearly skilled enough to be an effective 4 either.

Been watching ESPN and NBA network all day and it looks like more than a rumor. Kings(7) and Raptors(5) are two team's that have been contacted for Parker.

I don't know, but if I were a team like Heat, I would probably want to jump on this. Yes Heat have no lottery pick, but they could do a 3 team deal or something that sends parker to Miami.


Atlanta also has Josh Smith for trade. Maybe Magic would jump on that? Would Josh Smith be enough to keep D12 in Orlando?

[FerrariFan87]

I think the Cavs need to go Derrick Williams #1 overall... Irving is a good PG, but Williams is a flat-out monster.

I understand that he's good, but Irving played barely half of his freshman year. I think it's a pretty big risk.

[Jamal]

I really don't see a bonafide franchise player in this year draft tbh.

Irving is the closest thing, so I would take him #1 based on that alone.

I'm hearing the rumors are true that the Magics are trying to acquire him. If the Magics can get him then they need to jump all on that. We would have the best and the most athletic 4/5 combo in the NBA. Both are great defensive players and get rebounds like crazy. Also, Josh Smith and Dwight are best friends so that would sway Dwight more in the direction of staying.

Yeah, that would be a ridiculous trade for the Magic.

[FerrariFan87]

Really like the Wizards' Vesely pick... what a freak of nature.

[FerrariFan87]

Like the Singleton pick too, even though he's mainly a defender, but that's what we need.

[bdravens]

Anyone hear about Ron Artest? He wants to change his name to "Metta World Peace". WTH?

He is trying hard to achieve Dennis Rodman-level "eccentricity."

[FerrariFan87]

Btw, fail for Jordan Williams falling into the second round... he would have been a first round pick had he stayed another year... karma.

[bdravens]

What the hell does "Metta World Peace" mean?

Anyways, the Wiz did a good job tonight, definitely had one of the top 3 drafts of the night. Knicks...fail. Ferrari, where did JW end up? I missed it.

[Wacko4Zacko]

So which Morris bro will have better season?

I think with Suns and as long as Nash is there then markieff will have better rookie season.

"Metta World Peace, with 'Metta' apparently a word derived from the Buddhist religion and the Sanskrit language meaning 'friendliness', 'benevolence' and all manner of other heartwarming descriptions."

If you do this Ron, or Metta, or whatever the hell you're called right now, you can't go running into the stands, fists swinging if a fan throws a cup of water at you. You would be taking hypocrisy to a new level.

[Jamal]

Looks like someone hasn't been meeting with his psychologist...

I think Chad "Ochocinco" was enough for one generation in sports.

[Ed_Reed20]

Apparently, Miami's first pick, Norris Cole, is cousins with Trent Cole of the Eagles. Even though Riley likes him, I hope he has game because the backup PG can't be Bibby(assuming Chalmers is re-signed). If he and Dexter Pittman can step up in the summer, it could be huge for the Heat.

LeBron didn't show up to Bosh's bachelor party in Vegas.....it must have been scheduled during the fourth quarter!

Okay, I am done now

[Wacko4Zacko]

Doe sthe lockout have any impact on Nets new stadium that is being built?

[BloodRaven]

Still looks like the Cavs are gunning for next years #1 pick.

At this point, I'd say Harrison Sullinger or Jared Barnes. Baylor's Perry Jones and Kentucky's Terrence Jones could sneak into the #1 spot as well.

Gotta go with Sullinger.
