Draft was pretty garbage. Metta World Peace was the most interesting NBA that happened today, IMO.

I do think Washington made some really good picks.

They got a C and probably getting a SG in the offseason, whenever that happens.

I'm not sure if any of the competing teams can or will pay what he wants, but I think Chicago might try to get Jason Richardson if the Magic don't resign him.

At first I was questioning Thompson with the fourth pick but it has grown on me. Jonas would be overseas for 1-2 more years this way Thompson can get right in there and get work in the NBA.

He is a great offensive rebounder and scorer so him alongside Varejao will be really fun to watch. I'm excited to see how this turns out.

He cant make FT's and he needs a lot of offense skills. He can attack the basket but thats about it. That's why I saying he was a reach at 4.

It wouldnt surprise me if he goes for less money to join the Bulls. He could be a great addition to the team.

Yeah I guess a small reach, he was ranked 7th on the board at the time so not too bad. They picked up two big PF's that can score with the next two picks though.

Looks like Yao is retiring. Add him to the list of players with a ton of potential who were devastated by injuries.
