    What do you think of the Draft so far. I think Irving was the obivous choice as this draft is not laden with superstar talent. I also liked the twins going back to back, kind of neat. Such make for some nice jibes bewteen the bros. I was surprised that Knight didn't go higher, I thought he was the best talent at PG. I do likethe Kings pick of Fredette, it gives them a nice combo at guard, Evans is a slasher, Fredette can do the damage from long range. We'll see if his D can improve, it's not NBA ready as of yet.

    Goodness, the Kings are going to be a disaster. They should do a reality show of their locker-room. Head case Cousins, black hole Tyreke Evans, and bigger black hole Jimmer vie for who can do the most damage to their own team while playing no defense.

    The whole draft sucked, although you can always count on the Knicks getting a complete round of boos for their bizarre pick.

    Very happy the Lakers had no first round picks in this draft.

    The Knicks picked the player with the best physical skills in the draft... he just doesn't know how to play Basketball.

    Funny, for a minute there I thought it was the NBA draft. Y'know, where the "B" stands for "Basketball" and all that. Count on the Knicks for a laugh every time. The don't even need Isaiah Thomas to screw it up any more.

    They had potential this year. If they could of landed another Star before last season started to go with Amare, they had a shot. But instead they waited and traded the house for Melo. Freaking morons.

    I'm not so sure if I were the Cavs I would have went with Irving at number one. I might have gone for Derrick Williams, but only because they also had the 4th overall pick. While they wouldn't have been able to get Irving at #4, they would have been able to get Knight. And I don't think the drop off in talent going from Irving to Knight is that much. Instead, they ended up with that Thompson guy, who they say they are projecting as a power forward, which seems a bit strange to me, because he's 6'8". Then again, Williams is also projected as a PF, and he's the same height.
