The Official 2012 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[Malta]

If the Wizards take Beal and MKG is there at 4, don't you think they would take him over Barnes?

I think they go with Barnes, they want more offense on the wing.


They would have taken him 4th last year had he come out.

 

[KingsnBucs1987]

If the Kings trade up to get Barnes, that'd be dumb as hell. Like everybody said he'll be there at 5. The only way you trade up is there's somebody else they want and they're just doing a smokescreen to get their guy by moving and making people think they really want Barnes.

Somebody gonna get burned drafting MKG that high..you dont pick a wing player with a broke shot top 2 or 3...You can get defensive specialists for cheap in free agency or the 2nd round

Yeah, I wouldn't pick burn a top 5 pick on him, he's going to be a good player but not anything special on his own.

The team that needs him most, and he'd be really a good fit is the Warriors.

 

[O.iatlhawksfan]

Nobody else is going to be anything that special so why not pick him?

I'd take Davis, Robinson, Beal, Drummond and Barnes all before him

even a guy like Thabo Sefolosha was a lotto pick.

Gilchrist would be a godsend to the defensively challenged.

Austin Rivers is bred for the NBA.

wasn't even that good at duke. frail undersized two guard with garbage form. won't be shyt in the league. Waiters will be better, even if he ain't shyt.

how the hell is jones III falling to 19 and making it past the twolves?

I think Rivers game is more suited for the NBA, and he can always improve form in the league.

Doc doesn't care about Austin, no father could possibly care about their son's game if they saw that form and didn't correct it

how the hell is jones III falling to 19 and making it past the twolves?

Teams are scared of taking the 6"10+ tweener now, Brandan Wright, Earl Clark, Anthony Randolph etc all got teams afraid, everybody wants the next Durant, nobody wants the next Ndudi Ebi.

Defense a team thing one dude on a shytty defensive team aint gonna do much, playing D now is setting up a dude for a charge

Im just not a fan of dudes you dont have to guard in the halfcourt it makes it easier on defenses..

The only positives you hear about Gilchrist are how people describe cac players they like and want to boost up spittign that intangible bullshyt like he a glue guy or leader and makes everyone better and more competitive hit a open jumper in the 4th quarter when your star getting double teamed nikka if u cant do that fukk off the court

That's only the tip of the iceberg. Doc let that little frapaccino wife up a white trash community college student at age 19. Let him go to duke. Let his sister fukk Dexte Strickland.

Doc be lookin at Rondo wishing he was his real son.

We're probably shopping the pick anyway.

Chad's analysis:

Analysis: The team is praying that one of the wings, such as Terrence Ross or Austin Rivers, slides to them here. But if they don't, the Wolves may choose to go big with Melo. Nikola Pekovic was a revelation this year, but after that the cupboard is pretty bare. Darko Milicic has one more year on his deal, but he's not a long-term answer in Minnesota

I wouldn't mind Perry because at worst he'd be a backup at SF and PF. At best, that's our starting SF. That team is frustrating everyone this year because for once, that team is keeping their mouths shut about what they're doing. Nobody knows what Kahn/RJ/Rick are thinking.

there's another dude who came into the league with cac intangibles and no J and he's now a 40%+ 3 pt shooter and post-ASB was the Nuggets most consistent offensive weapon this season. that's the thing about hard workers, they don't stop working.
