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

**Pelicans_fan_504** · 03-31-2013, 04:58 PM

They just said he broke his leg, I could not watch the replay

**JJackisangry** · 03-31-2013, 05:03 PM

Thats incredibly unfortunate. Who was it that had to leave the game?

**AUSSIE_PELICAN** · 03-31-2013, 05:08 PM

I broke both bones, severely the large one, in the lower leg so it looked disfigured...loose noodle. I'm guessing he broke both, or at least the tibia as well thus the reactions.

I will leave the room every time a replay comes up. Gross!

Kevin Ware

If it were Peyton Siva it would be game over for 'Ville.

Of course Yahoo!Sports would have a .gif of the leg break replaying over and over again.

**kclaboy504** · 03-31-2013, 05:23 PM

It looked just like Marcus lattimores injury!! That was horrible. I couldn't believe what I was watching. He only jumped up to contest a 3 ptr and landed. That was crazy man. Just goes to show u don't even have to be doing nothing crazy for your limbs to just snap!! Hope he comes back better than ever man. Sad to see. Prayers to him.

Even worse is the dearth of steals and blocks. That's usually a very, very good indicator of NBA athleticism and ability.

It's very possible he just doesn't give a crap about the college game, but that in itself is disconcerting.

poor kid, What do you guys think of the Louisville pro prospects? Blackshear looks like the most typical NBA player but Dieng is a beast and Smith and Siva aren't slouches.

A bit. But I want to see some more offense to the point that I'm willing to take that chance.

Dieng reminds me of Surge from OKC

Dieng also has some range to his game surprisingly for his style of play and rawness. Louisville kept running plays for Siva to set Dieng up at the midrange elbow and I think he was a perfect 3/3 in 2nd half. His strength is his defensive hustle of course, though.

Trey Burke for me, hands down, after what Ive seen this tourney, he has the IT factor and will be more influential than Lillard and Chris Paul were / have been. .. Size is only question, but for so many amazing athletes who's size is questioned, there are freaks (and I dont mean that negatively), that always compensate for their lack of optimum size and overcome otherwise. He has freaky BB scoring, dribbling, passing skills and is charismatic on the court. Why would smart be a better PG pick?

Dislocated knee is pretty serious which requires immediate surgery since arteries can be severed.

Before even setting foot on a NBA court you're saying he's going to be better than Chris Paul?

That's just setting yourself up for disappointment.

I think people need to breath and take a step back from Burke. The excitement level is a bit much. I'd be willing to bet he won't be as good as Chris Paul because Chris Paul's don't just fall out of trees.

I'm definitely not against Burke depending where we're drafting but maybe we should keep our options open?

That's a little over the top. If he turns out to be as good as Lillard, we'd all be jumping through hoops.

Depends on what we plan on doing with GV and Lopez, but honestly the best thing to do in the draft is the same thing as EVERY draft, always go BPA, i dont care, say u have lebron james on ur team, and ur drafting and its ur pick and u have the choice of kevin love or durant, do u take love because u have lebron? No, u take durant, if burke is the BPA then u take him, let him burke get 2/3rd's PG minutes with rivers getting 1/3 PG and 1/3 SG minutes, 3 years down the road u can make ur decision on who is better and u can trade the other... this is always the best way to draft, always

**HornetGuru** · 03-31-2013, 08:54 PM

ill say it again, bpa

No crap.

**luckyman** · 03-31-2013, 09:05 PM

Or, if you can find a good deal in the right spots you trade down and get more picks. The 80s 49er technique works too.
