Do note that Atlanta accquired Jared Cunnignham in the trade and they are likely to S&T Josh to the Cs now that Pierce and KG are gone
[QUOTE=Kurosawa0]Its just tough that New Orleans gave up next year's pick too. Then again, getting a young, all-star point guard for two first rounders is a deal most teams would make.[/QUOTE]
The pick they gave up was not important if you analyze it. It was top 5 protected. So they won't be losing a Wiggins, Parker, Randle, Smart, or Gordon if they're in position to land them.
A core of Holiday, Gordon, and Davis is pretty nice. And they'll have Vasquez, Anderson, and Rivers coming off the bench. I think they did a solid job of taking a couple of steps forward tonight.
I like the Otto Porter pick by the Wiz. Kindly what they need. A first five of Wall, Beal, Porter, Nene and Okafor is pretty solid.
As a Kings fan I was hoping for either Noel or Ben Mac we got Ben Mac so really happy.

Been saying this for a while, with a healthy John Wall and a nice, young, supporting cast around him, the Wizards can be a 50 win team.
Mavs had a great draft. Worst case Larkin is a change of pace back-up PG. Best PnR PG in the draft and he gets to play it with this guy called Dirk Nowitzki. Then got Ricky Ledo in the 2nd round, who is unquestionably a lottery talent. If he wants this and gets his head right the Mavs have their SG for the next 10 years. Also Texas
[quote=chips93]tristan thompson is the big loser of the night :([/quote]No he's not. Before the draft management already stated that we weren't looking to draft a starter. Bennett will likey come off of the bench and he'll be a great 6th man or 7th man imo. I don't like him as a starter though. He need to work on his lateral quickness and shed a few lbs. to defend SFs in this league. He'll get burned on defense against starting PFs too. Backup PFs? Idk, we'll see.

Well by getting a Jrue Holiday and not an injured Noel (who you somewhat redshirt), you ensure you're not going to be in that position anyways. I think you need to tank one more year. I think we blew our load too soon. We should have had patience for one more year.

If so then Bennett is a great pick. Maybe a year off the bench while working on his quickness and losing weight then maybe come back as a starting 3 for his soph season.
