Obviously I was too busy celebrating Michael Jackson's legacy to pay much attention to the NBA Draft.
First off, I see Blake Griffin didn't heed Bill Simmons advice and run for the hills and away from the Clippers. That's a decision he'll regret in a few years. Hasheem Thabeet too. Thabeet is destined to be Stromile Swift 2.0 lol.
Anyway, how does Ricky Rubio fall to #5?? Nobody needed a super-talented point guard?? Well Minnesota needed just that. In fact, they needed it so much that they picked a 2nd point guard after him in Jonny Flynn...and then a 3rd in Ty Lawson with the 18th pick (though they traded Lawson to Denver for a future pick). Not choosing Bill Simmons is working out great for the T'Wolves lol.
The Knicks can pretty much say goodbye to ANY chance that LeBron might come there to play in 2010 when they weren't able to get Stephen Curry at #8. Golden State wisely choose him 7th overall. Going back to the T'Wolves, if they were gonna picked 2 PGs back-to-back wouldn't it have made sense of the 2nd one to be Steph Curry?? Rubio can't shoot but he's a great passer and floor general and you could move Curry to SG and have him be like Iverson in '00-'01. But that would've made too much sense for Minny and they took two players that can't play at the same time lol.
I gotta feel bad for Jordan Hill because 1) he's going to the Knicks, 2) he got booed something crazy last night, and 3) he's going to the Knicks! Add Brandon Jennings to the list of players I feel bad for too because he goes from playing in L.A. to playing in Rome to playing in Milwaukee. Tough break nigga lol.
I don't care to go any further because any draft that has Tyler Hansbrough going 13th overall is obviously not worth the words. No disrespect to him, but if he's the 13th best player in your NBA draft class, that's not saying much. Then again, with MJ passing, it was appropriate that we had a weak draft class because now I don't feel bad for missing the draft lol.
