What's new

2011 draft.....

Did you remember Kevin Durant's tweet back in January?

This was after some high scoring game of Fredette's. This doesn't tell us how he did in those practices, just that he can score (which we already know), made friends in Vegas, and that Durant is probably the nicest guy in the nba (which we also already know).


This is a crazy draft. I'm going over Valanciunas' game again now - one I was pretty down on before, but now I'm not so sure of anything. Valanciunas might be a nice combination of Kanter and Biyombo. Or else I'm no longer seeing clearly. Maybe I'm asleep.

After their playoff run it became extremely apparent what that tweet meant. If you can not see for yourself, let me translate it for you. "We must trade Westbrook for Fredette, this dude has huge lips and won't pass me the ball."

lol. Thanks for the translation.
But this would belie the opinion that Fredette is a chucker. Really, the only problem I'm seeing with Fredette is his lack of defense. Otherwise he looks pretty good.
 
I heard a clip on espn radio today that Cleveland is trying to get the 2nd pick away from Minny. The report said they would take Irving and Williams. It was a 3 way trade involving Det. Not sure how that works out. Did anybody else hear the details?
 
Who in the draft even look half as good as dirk?

How many people at the time thought Dirk was even going to be close as good. Dallas got him for the late Tractor Traylor so perhaps the 12th pick is worth a gamble. Granted right now the only Euro worth a lottery pick that will be available is Donatas. Now if Vesely somehow slips he would be a no brainer at 12.

Koufos and Fez sure didn't help us...


Also Tomic.

Wow, you just made a horrible argument. Koufos was picked in the 20s (not to mention the fact he is from Ohio). Fes was picked in the second round same with Tomic. None of these guys have the talent that Donatas or Vesely does. That Kirilenko guy who was picked turned out quite well. You realize how many American players have busted in the first round that we drafted right?
