The Draft
#5801046 - 06/28/06 10:06 PM (17 years, 7 months ago) |

Just home from work and looking over the picks.
I'm kind of angry the Bulls took Tyrus Thomas. He's a project, for sure. I would MUCH rather they made one of the trades being talked about. Maybe they still will, who knows....
Poor Adam Morrison and Sheldon Williams. Charlotte and Atlanta are both ugly bad and probably getting worse...
I dont know, not much else to say. Who the fuck is this Italian dude who got #1? The only thing I know about him is that he made every single shot he took in his highlight reel...
Any thoughts?

The class of '06 is nothing but projects. I don't know much about Andrea Bargnani, maybe the Raptors know something that everyone who hasn't played with him doesn't. I thought they would have went with Adam Morrison. I heard about him a few months ago and watched a quarter length segment of him in action, and he was quite impressive despite playing with diabetes. He apparently nearly had a seizure during a collegiate finals game where he scored 37 points. Mind you, the Raptors already have a franchise star player (Bosh) who they're trying to work around with decent backup. Other than that, the draft looks pretty shitty. Hopefully there's a few esoteric talents hidden in there, like T-Mac. You can't really judge a draft until the following season wraps up.
