    The only team that I could imagine taking him early is Detroit. I think there's a good chance there.

    I think Detroit is going to take a 3. An Otto Porter really fits there.

    "I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

    Depends on if they believe in Brandon Knight or not.

    Oh wait. After Kyrie Irving shatters his ankles, DeAndre Jordan murdered him. So yeah...they need a new PG.

    It hasnt been a good season for him, has it? He's also only averaging 4 assist per game.

    Knight has slided over to SG when they acquired Calderon. Pistons fans has always believed that Knight is more of a natural SG. And I can definitely see why. The Pistons will have a number of holes in the offseason. Calderon is an expiring contract, and Singler is not the answer at SF. They have Capspace and most likely a top 5 pick. Dumars loves undervalued prospects. I think there's a good chance they could take Burke or Porter who fits the undervlaued profile.

    Chad Ford apparently really likes Smart & Noel because they've gone #1 and 2 every time I've run his lottery machine. I'm not sure how I would feel about this one though... I'd be very happy to win a top 3 pick in the lottery and this pick fills a need with a good player, but I think I'd rather McLemore:

    I'm pretty sure i'd not renew is we took Porter over McLemore.

    Who should become the first person to be drafted to the pelicans?

    Brandon Knight just isn't that good. They need a PG. I could Burke going to them.

    Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams

    Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston

    Yeah that would upset me as well. But Gordon is the question.

    How did I forget Glenn Robinson had that kind of bounce?

    I'll be surprised if Gordon is still with the team by the trade deadline of next season.

    Trey Burke is a monster. Dude is having his Flu Game and still being competitive.

    If that's the case then our first draft priority should be finding a legit wing scorer. McLemore for sure. I'm not high on Shabazz but he does being that perimeter scoring aspect.

    The thing that bothers me with Shabazz is his (lack of) assist numbers. I get being confident, but people who don't pass don't understand the game well. When you pass people can't just completely leave their man to stop you.

    Yeah he's only a volume scorer. Doesn't do anything else well at all. He'll frustrate fans more than anything else and I don't think he'll score efficiently.

    I'd be absolutely heated n distraught if mclemore was on the board when we were up n we passed.

    Yeah McLemore should be the guy if available. Makes it easier to move Gordon.

    I like Burke and all but im not one to think that he should be the obvious choice if available like a lot of you guys. MCW is striking my fancy too and i see a lot more upside to his game, though it may take some time to actualize in the NBA. I'm very interested in watching the Michigan/Syracuse game, depending on how it goes it could change a lot of opinions (mine included).

  19. #1919
    I had no idea Michigan played today... Anybody watch the game? Burke went 5-16 for 15 points but he also had 8 or 9 rebounds and 7 or 8 assists. How did he look?

    O wow i guess that explains the shotting % a little bit. 8 rebounds too... Pretty damn impressive for a small guard like him

    Jesus Christ it looked gruesome. And each team's reaction was crazy. I saw like 3 Louisville players on the ground crying and I had no idea what happened until I saw the replay.

    I had something similar happen. Looks disgusting. Feels disgusting. You couldn't pay me to watch that in slow mo. I changed the channel.
