Paging Marciano and VORP! We need some legal ish drugs for the newest celtic. And a workout program
ESPN guys, got to love them. Pretending they didn't read Woj's tweet and know Looney was picked 3 minutes ago.
Yeah, Givony says he was told he has degenerative issues in his back as well as the hip problem and that is why a lot of teams took him off the board, many think he;ll need surgery at some point down the line.DeJesus Built My Hotrod said:
Well they did do an entire piece on how Tyus Jones can help LeBron and the Cavs about 15 minutes after Wojo tweeted that he was going to Minny.Cellar-Door said:

Anyone who gives two fucks about this night is following on Twitter. The WWL should know this and adjust by running the twitter feed on their crawl or having someone reading them in real time. Doing otherwise is denial of sorts..
I'll never understand some aspects of the NBA draft. I would think Cleveland needs bodies, yet they pick a stash kid. Would think they would have prefered a kid Like Harrell who could have at least been something of a depth player for them
Hunter looks pretty strong to me, yeah. His excellent free throw rate offsets most of the concerns about his low 3PT% this year, making me suspect it was just a question of having to take shots at the end of the clock.
Don't he C's have to drafting some "sign'n'follow guys Aren't they running out of roster spots?
I hope we get somebody with a long wingspan. My annual draft night won't be complete without hearing some obsessing over long wingspans.
Maybe. He's not ideal NBA size, and he needs a lot of work on basically every aspect of his game. I'd expect him not to play at all next year, probably end up in the D-League wire to wire.JCizzle said:
Did an ESPN talking head call him this? Mickey is a 6-7/6-8 undersized PF who uses his timing to block shots....he isn't a traditional rim protector though.JCizzle said:
ESPN Best Available:
Joseph Young, SG, Oregon
Dakari Johnson, C, Kentucky
Olivier Hanlan, SG, BC
Christian Wood, PF, UNLV
Luka Mitrovic, SF, Serbia
Cliff Alexander, PF, Kansas
Andrew Harrison, PG, Kentucky
Vince Hunter, SF, UTEP
Arturas Gudaitis, C, Lithuania
Jonathan Holmes, SF, Texas
It's a crapshoot at this point, but I'll update until the C's are on the clock.

He's got some Josh Smith type of potential (as a shot blocker only), same height, little longer arms but an inch or two less in vertical. It's possible he could end up a good shot blocker, but it's a stretch.HomeRunBaker said:
I'd be happy with him or Wood. Might also be getting close to the time you think about Upshaw.Luis Taint said:
They might go Euro stash though, really short on roster space.
Nooo
It feels like all the guys I like in this draft are ending up in NYC.
