2009 NBA Draft

[GoBobs]

We likely won't have a pick due to the deal that got us AA, but if we do somehow get a pick who do you want. There are several players that intrest me but the guys that stands out is T-Rex because he seems very underrated by nba people.

Actually, if we don't make the playoffs, I think we keep our pick. It's protected, with declining protection, for the next few seasons. If we don't make significant process, we'll still have a good pick.

We will keep it for 2009 if we don't make playoffs, but please don't begin discussing next draft now. It's way too early, please.

Wow. I haven't even started thinking about the NBA draft, I'm still getting started on the NFL draft.

I say we tank it like the Celtics did in (I think 2007) to get Oden. Oh wait....


Just think, we can tank and get the first pick and get Blake Griffen (our savior) and have our missing piece!

And if that doesn't work, we can just implode the team and trade for 3 All Stars and win the Championship!



Either way, we're in a great position guys

It's no doubt way to early to talk about the draft. However, I'd love to start hearing thoughts on NCAA bigs as the season goes on. I don't really watch NCAA basketball, but I do like to watch prospects. If there are any suggestions on PFs that might be promising (aside from Griffin) please pass them along.

[Keetch]

We won't need a PF by next year DNBman; remember we drafted him this year!

Okay nuther opposites post, crap I need to stop doing that.

Who knows what the Bobcats will look like by the end of this season. The only things that I am reasonably sure about are Augustine, Ajinca, Okafor, and Dudley will be there when the '09 draft rolls around. The others may or may not be there. I am really interested in how this whole thing plays out. With LB at the helm, anythings possible although its about 50/50 for better or worse.

There's Hasheem Thabeet from UCONN who Im sure Meka has talked to, Olgivy from Vandy, Heytvelt (sp?) from Gonzaga, Dozier from Memphis, and then all the Internationals and Freshmen

I personally think we should do everything we can to get psycho T, 6-9 230 isnt great nba pf size, especially when Emeka is acroos the lane, but his effort reminds me so much of crash, he wont fizzle out like May, he can step out and stretch the floor for our slashers, if nothing else I think he will at least be a great NBA rebounder.

Brown forbid that we take Ellington, Lawson, or Green, but I think Hansboro would be perfect for us

I'm sorry but I have to disagree. Hansbrough has gotten this far mainly due to his effort and work ethic. But the NBA is a whole 'nother beast. He doesn't really have the natural skills that would make for a successful NBA player.

Its sad... The NBA needs more character/hard working guys like him to gain some respectability back in the eyes of the public
