Who had the best draft?

Who had the best draft? And please let me know how you think the warriors did too. Just wanted to get opinions especially my fav team warriors. thanks

I think Charlotte did. Sean May and Raymond Felton, cant go wrong with two winners like those guys. Now Charlotte can rotate in Emeka, Primo, and Sean. Felton and Knight will make a good one two combo at the point guard.

I would have to go with Charlotte having the best draft. Toronto had a good draft as well (a close second). They needed size and a good defender because all they have is Bosh and they ended up picking up Charlie V. (Still suprised at this pick) and Joey Graham. They also needed some help at point guard and ended up picking Roko Ukic which should help them out a bit. The Knicks also had a good draft as well.

I also like the warriors pick of Diogu though it was a bit surprising that he went that high in the draft (like Toronto's pick at 7). But I like the pick. Warriors needed help rebounding and Diogu will help. He should fit in good with that team.

Speaking of the warriors do you think their second round picks will make the team? Don't know much about Ellis but IMO I think Chris Taft should be on the team

[nman0808]

Some people thought that Taft shoulda been a first rounder, so yeah I bet he will make the team. As for Ellis, I think he will spend a year or two in the new Developmental Leaque.

Yeah several mock drafts had Taft scheduled for the middle of the first round, same with Roko Ukic. (Sorry, have to put some about Toronto in the post being from that area)

It was a strange draft this year, many people either jumped a bunch of spots or dropped alot (more than usual anyway). Like Granger scheduled to go as high as 7 and Green scheduled to go as high as 5 both dropped down about a dozen spots.

It seems like I am more excited to see some of the 2nd rounders play. It seems like this was a very deep draft over previous years.

[nman0808]

Another second rounder, Im excited to see play is Salim.

I mean he shoots 50% from behind the arc, 50%, and his release is so quick. His quick release makes up for his small size, I can see him having a bright NBA career ahead of him.

Hello? Boston Celtics. Gerald Green dropped low. Ryan Gomes is a solid big dude. Orien Greene is the most athletic players ever.

They also are signing Will Bynum and Taylor Coppenrath. Coppenrath is underrated because he got accepted by only Vermont, due to GPA. He tore it up there and played BC in a game and dropped 33 on BC, then #6 in the US.

i dont know about bostons draft... first gerald green was not expected to go much higher than what he did. He is still a high school and very raw and unproven. Orien Greene only averaged 14/4 last year in about 31 minutes a game and was actually projected to go undrafted. Gomes will have to make a transition from the 4 to the 3 but should be able to produce somewhat...

also i have ben in several discussions about coppenwrath... he played a very weak schedule. Sure he dropped 30 some on BC but who on his team helped him?

there were several players i was surprised that went undrafted....
Will Bynum
Alan Anderson
Will Conroy
Matt Walsh
Jawad Williams
