I think Conley's going to have a great career.

[clonesalltheway]

I'm watching it, I'm a T-wolves fan, and hope KG gets traded.

[no2cyclones]

Noah to the Bulls?

[no2cyclones]

Conley's going to be a stud, too!

[ripvdub]

how many more times do we hear the word- upside, or potential.
I think a handful of the top ten drafted are complete crap. At least as far as NBA talent is concerned. Drafting 19 yr old kids is stupid. Unless their name is Oden, LeBron, Or Durant.

Or Bryant. Or Garnett. Or Jefferson. Or Odom. Or Stoudemire. Or McGrady. Or Harrington or Francis or Maggette or Davis or Bosh or Dwight Howard or Josh Smith, etc. For every Kwame Brown or DeSagana Diop, I'd guess there's two or three successes. There's a reason most of these guys are drafted so high, and to claim drafting somebody because they're young is kinda baffling to me.

or Kemp!! don't forget the original!!

[Cyclonepride]

I think Jeff Green was a great pickup for Boston. But they are the "new" Celtics, so it probably won't help anyway. I saw Green play some last year, and was very impressed with him.

[Drive4cy]

JamesOn Curry to Chicago in the 2nd round. He will be OK to watch in Des Moines come winter.

[ajk4st8]

Wow.

All 5 starters from Florida are drafted.

I thought Moses Malone was the original

He would have been a great pickup for Boston, but they traded him to Seattle for Ray Allen and a handful of other players.

For every Kobe, Garnett, etc. there are 4-5 guys drafted out of high school that tank.

[flander1649]

Kobe sat for about a year and half before he started doing anything. Most HS kids that came out stat for about 2 or 3 years before they started doing anything. With James, Amarie, Garnette being the exception.

[psycln11]

Wow.

Nope 4 starters a the 6th man.

Lee Humphrey started but didn't get drafted...while Chris Richard was the first off the bench.
