The Official 2012 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[Keengcong]

The Grizzlies weakness is perimeter shooting MKG has no jumper, Reke has no jumper.

Nick Young is just as inconsistent as fakkit ass Mayo

It's not like Rudy is competing in the 3 pt contest anytime soon either. The whole point was that Rudy's contract is keeping us from having depth. There's plenty of free agents you could sign and MKG or Barnes would be great young athletic pieces.

Unfortunately with the pending sale we probably are not going to make any moves and just fade back into Bolivia.

Sounds like the general consensus is now:

1. Anthony Davis to New Orleans
2. Thomas Robinson to Charlotte
3. Michael Kidd Gilchrist to Washington
4. Bradley Beal to Cleveland
5. Harrison Barnes to Sacremento
6. Andre Drummond to Portland

Those all seem like perfect fits. I think MKG to Washington helps make them a playoff team, and Kyrie Irving and Beal in the same backcourt is pretty damn exciting for Cavs fans.

Bobcats could throw a wrench into things, they are trying to trade the pick.

For Version 7 of the 2012 Mock Draft by Chad Ford, check profile.
-Since the Bobcats plan to trade there pick, it seems like Thomas Robinson might be going 2nd, with MKG going 3rd.
-Beal number 4, and Dre Drummond going to the Kings at the 5th pick.
-Barnes fell to the 7th pick with the Warriors.
-Terrence Jones has been slotted to the 15th pick by the 76ers.
-Perry Jones fell to 19th with the Magic.
-Royce White going all the way to the 22nd pick with the C's.
For rest of the article, check my profile and other ESPN related stuff on there.

i been begging for the thunder to trade harden for a lotto pick

Man the Mafukks really shyt the bed with that Jimmer pick, still and over that dumb shyt. The Kings needed a small forward or a shot blocker next to Cousins, but they went with the money and got burned.

Kings should take a chance on Drummond or take Barnes. They can't afford another guard, that'd be the dumbest thing to do with all the guards they have now.

They need a player who doesn't need a lot of shots, a catch and shoot type dude.

meh

klay thompson would have obviously been a much better pick than jimmer, but if cousins ever gets his mind right jimmer is a great weapon to pair with him.

The Wizards just drafted 2 SFs...I don't eem know why they'd even think about MKG...

 

[jwinfield]

Kings may be the worse place for Drummond to go

 

[FreedS[ohh]lave]

You know what these role playing ass nikkaz,i hope Wiggins reclassifies for 2013 so in 2 years we finally get another franchise nikka at the top

I agree. Beal would be a better fit because they need outside shooting next to Wall. Hell, even Robinson would give them a good front line playing next time Nene.

I think they take Barnes to be honest, I expect them to try and give Hassan Whiteside some minutes this year to see if he even deserves to be in the NBA or not.

Wall is pushing for perimeter help, probably be Beal for them.

I don't mean because of his position, but because of the environment.

I agree, even though part of me wants to see him and Boogie, that would be such a beastly frontcourt -

6"11 270lbs
6"11 278lbs



They'd be the bane of existence for any team with one of those skinny ass PFs, unfortunately they'd never get the ball.

 

[Chris Broussard]

the 2012 NBA Draft is less than 2 weeks away, and from what my sources close to the Hornets are telling me, Anthony Davis will be the #1 overall pick. a handful of players are in the mix to go #2 to the bobcats, team sources say

 

[Steezy]

The team has no chance of making it WITH Rudy... He is a good 2nd option at best. His personality don't fit the team or city plus ...lettuce be honest nobody even in the forum rocks Gay jerseys

MKG/Tyreke/Young > The 15+ mill Gay Guy

exactly.. rudy would still rather rep team uconn to this the grizz... if we can get reek on a team with this much talent and leadership he can really shine. MKG would be awesome i don't see know memphis could turn down that offer.

I wish the Pistons had any kind of assets to move up to get this nikka. Drummond would be the perfect compliment to Monroe. And the sad truth is he would have a better passer in Monroe feeding him the ball down low then he did with all those guards at UConn. These nikkas and their stupid ass winning streaks at the end of the season.

Kings Pre-Draft Workout: Andre Drummond 6/14/12 - YouTube


Weird form on his jumper needs a higher release, hookshot needs work puts it up like he's pushing it out of his hand.


Still a lot to work with, step back at 1:46....too damn big to be doing that but still impressive.
