Firstly, the Lopez brothers are weird and may be significant idiots. ESPN had a mic on Brook Lopez and did a montage of the idiotic things he was saying all night. Firstly, he said that the whole thing was boring?! Boring? Are you kidding me, this guy is about to get drafted into the NBA and he's bored? Reason number 1 I thank god he's no where near the knicks.
His second best line of the night was when he asked who the Nets GM and Coach were after he was drafted. Are you f'ing kidding me? How could a potential lottery pick not now every coach in the league especially of the team that wanted to draft him? What a friggin idiot. Also, courtesy of tommy p - http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/kelli_anderson/02/20/lopez0225/index.html . Read that article, gives you a glimpse in to the Lopez lunacy.
On to the Knicks, Danilo Gallinari is now the future of the Knicks, and I am surprisingly not disappointed. I heard the Knicks are making a play for Felton from the bobcats and I like that move also. If we can get rid of Randolph or Curry, this will be a successful offseason.
The draft pretty much went as expected and I'm glad the Knicks took a risky pick rather then one of the combo guards. I was also surprised as to how dominant Rose looked in his highlights.
Other draft thoughts:
- Why bother drafting guys that will never play in this league?
- Arthur helped his exposure immensely by being the last one in the green room. The guy is now loved by everyone that ever rooted for an underdog and honestly, the guy has awesome Pro written all over him.
- Was it me or did every draft pick look like he was about 17 yrs old and have the body of a string bean.
- The Lopez brothers are idiots and their voices are weird as hell.
- Kansas had their top 5 players drafted, what a solid and underrated championship squad. I'm not even sure who will be the best pro, but Arthur and Rush are gonna be in the hunt for rookie of the year (maybe even chalmers) if they get significant playing time.
- The Nets are now a huge huge team. Their front line is now Kristic, Lopez, and Yi, all over 7 feet. They are going to surprise next year if Harris develops.
- Portland made about a hundred moves yesterday and I love the depth they have on that squad. With Oden back they might be one of the favorites in the West.
- While I like Westbrook, I really think the Sonics should have went Love. Love, Green, and Durant would have been a high scoring and awesome front line.
- Has Arthur been picked yet?
- I love how all the International players just came to the draft and sat in the crowd.
- One of the tall foreign guys (i forget which one) had stats of 5.0 ppg and 5.3 rpg in the French league. How can those numbers possibly translate to the NBA. I really feel like you can only draft a foreign guy like the Rooster (Danilo) who absolutely dominates his league. 5ppg, really? Are you kidding me?
- Joey Dorsey, CDR and Ewing Jr will all be solid pros out of the second round.
I'm sure I'll have more thoughts later, but thats it for now.
