NBA Draft Tonight

[Rocco]

What a cool day for both of these kids, especially for Christmas. 2 years ago, I would've never, ever thought Rak would be having his name called in the draft.

Awesome.

 

[skurey]

I think the Knicks will trade the #4 pick...

...for Kobe

Trade for Kobe. Sign LeBron. Sign Gasol. Kobe/Melo/LBJ/Gasol/anyone that can dribble the basketball over the half court line. It's happening.

 

[Melancer46]

Doesn't he feel like a perfect Spurs pick/steal?

Is he of European descent?

 

[AZOrange]

Both early second rounders. No later than 40.

 

[Briancuse]

I think cmc goes to the Nets at 29, I will say rak goes 32-35.

 

[AlaskaSU]

Is he of European descent?

He is of Duncan descent.

 

[Orangello]

Virgin Islands, even better

 

[two3zone]

I think McCullough sneaks into the first round, think Rak is a early second rounder with a 2-3 year contract soon in the next couple of weeks. I think Rak will do VERY well in the summer league. Just moving to Vegas, I hope I'm able to see him play during the Summer League, would be really cool to see him out there and other Cuse alum who play.

LOL Jay Bilas.

Jalen Rose and Jay Williams were reminiscing about the Draft Night suits they wore. Bilas goes, "they drafted me so late I was wearing pajamas, and when they called they asked me if I spoke Italian."

I wanted Okafor to go number 1, but oh well. Good for the kid Towns. Special talent, was multi-faceted as far back as high school and truly a class act. One Kentucky player I don't root against. Still seems humble.

 

[Libero2]

Oakafor still on the clock for Philly. Would they really take him? Or do the knicks cruelly get that lucky?

 

[jordoo]

Russell is the most like Steph since Steph. He's going to be good in this nba

 

[longislandcuse]

Here we go... Lakers just threw a wrench in everything.

No one has any clue what Philly will do here.

 

[djcon57]

LOL @ PHILLY.

NO PG. Great trade of MCW, dummies.

the Lakers may well have taken Russell in order to trade him to Philly

 

[EastCoast2]

Philly has to take Okafor now, right?

 

[longislandcuse]

There's Mudiay. Another guard who is good but not perfect. If they didn't want MCW, Mudiay makes no sense for them.

Embiid-Noel-Okafor? That's alot of assets tied up for post positions.

 

[longislandcuse]

I will punch Hinkie in the ****ing face if he takes Okafor.

They clearly wanted Russell though

 

[djcon57]

Sixers are taking Okafor.

"THE PLAN IS WORKING".

 

[longislandcuse]

Silver really stretching out the drama here

The Sixers plan to keep Okafor --- for good, sources tell Yahoo. He won't be auctioned in a trade.

I have nothing better to do so I'm live (ish) blogging: http://.com/nba-draft-2015-lets-live-blog/

In a guard driven league, Philly has 3 Lottery Pick Centers.
