Official Draft Buzz Thread/Live Draft Thread

I just noticed something.

Chad Ford made this look like a bigger situation than I think it is. Read the first sentence. "Terrance Williams has a right to be upset."

Where have we seen he was upset? Ford is making it seem like Williams has been tweeting and yelling at reporters because he was promised the pick. NOPE. Hasn't happened.

Chad Ford sucks at journalism.

Just read that if the Nets complete the deal for Carter then they'll draft Williams. Dammit.

For those that don't know, the Nets are close to trading Carter to the Magic for Courtney Lee, Rafer Alston and another guy.

Magic agree to acquire Nets’ Carter

The Nets will draft Louisville shooting guard Terrence Willams at No. 11, if he’s still available.

I don't know why they would do that. They got back Courtney Lee who is a 2. They don't have a 3 and while T-Will can play minutes at SF, he wouldn't do too well at the position full time. I think the trade really opens it up for Hansborough to NJ b/c they also sent Robert Allen to the Magic and he played 20 minutes a game for them (as a PF). If not Psycho T, I could see Clark or Johnson going there to play 3/4.

From T-Will twitter 2 hours ago... "you see me I love new York lol an Charlotte"

No one knows.

That was definitely meant to be witty. Or maybe it's the truth. Try to be the better poster in 3,2,1.... Go.

U of L would be a lot better. It would probably make me buy more tickets.

From Draft Express:

At 11, we’re hearing Terrence Williams, and at 12, Gerald Henderson.

[TarHeelBorn]

Again from his T-Will: "why would they make that trade an bring lee to the nets and"

If I had to guess, what he didn't say is "and ... draft me"

[Timmeh]

Williams follows ISH on Twitter, wonder if he reads the forums...?

[~spectre~]

Ford: Michael Jordan may get his way and get Johnson of Wake Forest ahead of Duke's Gerald Henderson.

He has TWill going to NJ too.

Supposedly on Dime Mag's twitter page they asked TWill where he thought he was going and he said 6th!

[TarHeelBorn]

We are miserable at drafting. I don't think I will change my mind tonight. Of course MJ will get his way tonight to take Johnson but didn't get his way last year to take Lopez. Ugh!

The lack a future beyond the first round for this team makes me want to cry.

[Timmeh]

If we get Johnson, so help me God, I will be pissed.

[TarHeelBorn]

Chad Ford:
The Bobcats were high on Gerald Henderson and Terrence Williams until Michael Jordan showed up in Charlotte this week. Then things started to change and Johnson started moving up the board. With Larry Brown's favorite, Williams, off the board, expect the Bobcats to go for the Wake Forest kick boxer.

Hey MJ, show up more than 3 days before the draft and see every player. Why do you like Johnson? Is it b/c no 2 guard will ever impress you? What would have thought about other guys that came in to work out like Earl Clark, Daye, Hansborough, Mullens, etc...

[TarHeelBorn]

This draft is insane!

[Timmeh]

It's go time now.
