Are there any white guys in the draft this year?

asking the tough questions...and no

 

[herky]

The last that I looked, I saw a rumor of trading Deng to Wash for the #3 pick. Anyone else see this?s

Cody Zeller
Olynyk from Gonzaga
Plumlee from Duke
Withey from Kansas
That is all I can think of

Steven Adams from Pitt is kinda white. He looks white.

Then you have the foreigners - Sergey Karasev, Giannis Antetokounmpo

I didn't realize that Cody Zeller had such a laughable wingspan. No wonder he is considered soft...he won't be able to get his shot off at the NBA level. Alex Len is a much better prospect considering that he only started playing basketball a couple of years ago according to his 'job skills' interview.

I'd hardly call a 6'11" wingspan "laughable". It's his height. Would be better if it were 7'1" or 7'2", but his athleticism more than makes up for it. I'd take him in a heartbeat, to be honest. I think he's the best big in the draft.

I thought it was 6'8"

Alright, yeah, 6'8" would be bad. He's 6'11" though.

Was just reading about that Rudy Gobert from France. Fucker has a 7'9" wingspan. I don't even know how that's possible.

Anyone know what time the actual draft starts? Coverage starts at 7 but I don't feel like watching 30 mins to an hour of precoverage.

According to David Aldridge, no chance Deng is being traded for the #3 pick and Okafor which had previously been rumored.

I don't know about other Cavs fans, but I would be all for a trade to land us Deng. Not sure if it would take the #1 or not, but he seems like he'd be a great fit.

General rumors seem to be:

-Nets want Pierce and KG and are willing to give up future 1sts, bums and expiring contracts. If this is the case, the Celtics are playing for the lottery next year (which is smart)

-Cavs like no one and likely will trade their top pick even if they draft a player
-Wizards are locked in. Clearly there are 3 players they want to draft or 1 guy they really think is going to be there
-Kings and TWolves want to move up for a SG, Thunder want to move up for a C, Jazz want McCollum
-Suns and Mavericks want to move down
-Teams at the end of the 1st round don't want to draft anyone

Rumors are Thunder want Oladipo.

 

[Tubbs1518]

If Thunder want Oladipo, anyone else think they are gonna send Jeremy Lamb to Orland along with possibly Perry Jones or some 1st rounders or both?

With the 1st pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers select Anthony Bennett, Forward from UNLV


Wow, there is a shocker, nobody called that one

 

[Tubbs1518]

[GunsUp_ShootinBlanks]

I pay absolutely no attention to college ball outside of my loser squad unless it is March.

 

[bksballer89]

[Jims_Doors]
