Onto the 2nd Round

The Minnesota Timberwolves select PG: George Lucas Alves de Paula - Brazil

Wow!! My risk to buy the 32end pick paid off big. Didn't really expect my guy to be there this late and is a first round talent indeed. This is definitely a pick of need and highest rated player on my board.

With the 32end pick. The Chicago Bulls select, pg out of Louisville Terry-Rozier

He is a bit raw but there isn't a more talented of in the draft. Extremely quick a good shooter very quick skilled ball handler can hit he j off the dribble or finish at the rim and I imagine him backing up Rose and playing beside him as well. Bulls needed badly in the worst way some new blood at backup pg and is great insurance with Rose's injury issues. So excited to get Rozier at this spot could be one of this drafts hidden gems.

Great pick. Considered him strongly for 31, but ultimately went with a guy that I think is swing for the fences in de Paula.

I view Rozier as a Jordan Crawford type player with more athletic ability he's more of a combo guard. Think he fits the Bulls as they need more offense in their second unit.

With the 34th pick the Los Angeles Lakers select Chris McCullough, power forward, Syracuse.

The Lakers are ecstatic to land such a prospect in the second round. McCullough was projected as a lottery pick in the beginning of the season, but several weak games and an ACL injury saw his draft stock drop ridiculously low. I was going to pick him with 27 before I got the offer from Ellis, but this is just a no-brainer. BPA! Huge potential, great measurables, great athleticism, offensive versatility, defensive versatility(2.5 steals and 2.5 blocks per 40) make him a great pick for the Lakers. He is still raw and probably will nurse the injury until about September and might spend some time in the D-League while he gets in shape post injury recovery, but our front office believes with Chris we got one of the steals of the draft.

Great pick. Great value. Just hate taking guys who are coming off of serious knee or back injuries. Would have picked him for either of my teams if he'd dropped a bit further.

Not to mention a guy that relies on his athletic ability.
