Predict - where does Lydon go Thursday

[CuseLifer11]

Bilas was pretty harsh on him calling out his body fat. Surprised me a bit.

It's warranted no? Lydon looked chubby and totally out of shape compared to frosh year.

 

[Briancuse]

Briancuse are you OK?

Why would I not want a Syracuse player to be drafted in the first round? I have been saying from day 1 that he was going to be a first round pick.

 

[cliftonparksufan]

I get that. Weird trade for them. They get Lyles and then draft a guy that has Lyles as a pro comp.

Makes no sense but maybe this will light a fire under Lyles.

 

[two3zone]

Someone should've told Fultz. Simmons too.

And Noel

 

[GooseMutt]

Of all the one and done sat Kentucky only three went. I hope Quade was paying attention. And darn it nobody took Briscoe, such a shame(not)

I was surprised Bam went so high. With Monk and Fox I get it they look like NBA guards to me.

I get not not liking UK, I don't get being happy a kid didnt drafted.

You haven't and a few others haven't either

Yes your right that was harsh. I take it back. Just shows not every Kentucky guy goes

Yeah I didn't get the trade either, but great for Tyler.

Seriously? I don't understand all this fat talk. Were you guys watching the same team?

Yesterday M. Waters was implying that going early 2nd round might be better than going late first. His argument is that almost all the picks after the top 10, will spend time in the "G League (Gatorade sponsored D league). It is going to be the new way. Early 2nd rounders still get some guaranteed money. And since the length of the contract is shorter, getting to the 2nd contract happens faster. Also he said that the NBA is going to 2 way contracts with the G league like the NHL, letting them move guys back and forth easier and thus letting them develop easier.

With TL getting drafted 1st round, our streak of 1st round draft picks extends to ??
Don't us, UK and Duke have the longest standing streak?

6 years now and we have the 3rd longest streak trailing UK and Duke.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Starting with the 2000 NBA draft, we've had 21 draft picks, including 13 first round picks. That's pretty good.

2012 is when things really heated up. 7 1st round picks and 4 second rounders since then.

 

[orange_in_VA]

1st round. Guaranteed money. Millionaire.

Jerami Grant got guaranteed money too. Lot's of it. Second round is not as bad as people make it out to be.

Yeah but our recruiting stinks remember. And nobody on our staff can recruit

Maybe he was trying to bulk to take on all those ACC big men. Too bad about Coleman and Chukwu. if we'd had a legit center, Tyler could have played power forward, which would have been his best position for us. This won't be a problem in the NBA. Tyler will be a 3.5.

That fat out of shape bastard only played 11 straight games of 40+ minutes too.

Don't worry. Marek will be better!

We would have made the tourney with a half decent Center

Don't worry. Marek will be better!

I wouldn't make a claim like that, but I really hope you're right. haha

He didn't. Sarcasm.

Ah.. my bad. Went right over my head. "He's the next Keith Van Horn, except better!!!" I genuinely hope those people are right though. haha

After thinking about it. Denver is a great spot for him. Playing wise, and living wise. I was hoping Portland, but he will love Colorado. It may be tough for some of us to be able to watch him, but he will get plenty of time there.

Also, basically guaranteed the important 2nd contract. Denver didn't even have a chance to get him in for a work out, yet took him. Of course, they scouted him.

Teams are gonna look back, and wonder why they let him slip. Denver has rid of the deadweight, and are building so it will be nice to watch how they do. Solid young pieces in place. The West is tough, but they are building well.
