I'm still waiting for Pops to get drafted. He graduated from my highschool in 2002. St. Augustine Prep baby!
im suprised Reddick didnt go higher in the draft, and wtf is portland doing getting someonez then tradin :huh:
yea im from canada and was a toronto fan like 3 years ago when bosh came they got andrea bargani? i tihnk thats how u spell his name
Bargnani is being compared to Nowitzki because of his good shooting skills and 37% shooting from the 3-point range. Not a bad pick for toronto.
Dude, Reddick was a good college player. Yes, he was the all time leading scorer in ACC history but seriously, he's small, and he just got DUI and will probably lose in court which will send him to jail. He will make probably as much of an impact as Deron Williams is doing at Utah. Also, are you talking about Pops Mensabonsu? or how ever you spell that, the guy from George Washington? That guy is a beast, but he didnt even get drafted did he? i didnt even know he signed up for the draft. And im a HUGE University of Kentucky fan so im rooting for Rajon Rodno all the way babeh. I think this was a horrible draft overall. Like the skill of the players tho. I mean none of these guys are prolly not going to become like super stars like my man D. Wade or LeBron. But anyways, i watched it and couldnt believe people like Taiquan Dean, Kevin Pittsnogle, Mike Gansey, didnt get drafted tho. Kevin is like a dirk more than that Bargnani guy in my opinion.
Atlanta got 4th pick I think we got some guy from duke, i think he was italian as well and jsut to let you guys know, Atlanta go Iverson, He moved into my friends hood (Coutrny Club of the South, usher lives there also) and he went to talk to him, and he said he was gonig to atlanta
Reddick's DUI is a one-time incident, and he's a big name guy so he'll get off with a fine and community service. He won't be doing jail time, I guarantee it. Pops needs to put on some more muscle before he's going to make it in the NBA, but he'll be a solid player down the line. This draft wasn't the greatest because too many of the players came out too early. They're mostly all projects for their teams now and will mainly be career backup or roleplayers. You can't have a Wade or LeBron in every draft, so I expected this years to be sub par. Pittsnogle can shoot, that's for sure, but he isn't as good of a low post player as he should be. He had all that success in college because it's college, players like him and make a living from the arc and not have to worry about the post. You can't do that in the NBA. Not to mention his defense is below average. Andrea Bargnani, again once he puts on muscle and works at it, will become a Dirk-ish player. He can shoot, he can play in the post somewhat and he isn't a bad defender.
The Knicks have some big issues right now. I don't know what I think about them firing Larry Brown. I don't know if it was his fault they were so bad or the teams' fault. Anyway, I think they'll be just as bad or worse then they were last year.
As did the Atlanta Hawks. Shelden Williams might be a good pro, but they could've had a future star like Randy Foye or Marcus Williams.
