Utah picked a white guy.

Why are the ESPN guys ignoring the story that this pick is for Washington?

The Avery Bradley pick hints at a blow-up unfortunately.

Why do I think Okie City just got like the number 3 pick in the 2012 draft for a backup point guard?

He cant start if Allen leaves can he? Isnt that a huge dropoff even if allen is only a one way player at this point?

This might be the worst draft ever...

at least in terms of buzz. Even Jay Bilas seems to be mailing it in. He hasn't gotten hysterical and started making up words even once. I do think he said 'lengthability" though

Portland fires their GM prior to the draft and then lets him make the picks???

What???

I'd draft Scavs if they did this to me.

With the 22nd pick in the 2010 draft The Portland Trailblazers select Shooting Guard Tom "Scavs" Rothstein from Southern Illinois.

Jay Bilas- I have no idea who this guy is but I like the pick. Rothstein has stoutability and his 2 inch vertical is better than it looks

Jeff Van Gundy- What are they doing? I could guard that guy!!!

I agree, this might be the worst draft ever. There isn't a player in this draft where if I were a GM I would "have to have" him. Even the top 5 are not special players at all. I mean, Derrick Favors, other than the Duke game, did he have a memorable game all season? Evan Turner was a great college player I like him a lot- and his shot to beat Mich was awesome, but is he a bona fide NBA All-Star which is what you should get with the #2 pick in the draft? Seems like he's the kind of guy they always beat on come draft day for not having NBA skills. Paul George is mediocre at best. Someone compared him to Danny Granger- he ain't even close to that.

You answered your own question.

Huge dropoff. I'm not a fan of tweeners like him. Even if he can reproduce Ray's shooting, he's way too small to guard most twos and he and Rondo would be the worst FT shooting backcourt in NBA history. His best shot is to be Nate's replacement and be a better shooting backup for Rondo.

Tiny Gallon and Magnum Rolle are my two second-round sleepers, and not just because they have cool names. Jerome Randle too. I don't understand why he doesn't get more publicity. He's tiny, but he's insanely fast and a terrific shooter. Reminds me of Iverson with better passing ability.
