Cleveland drafted Shannon Brown out of Michigan St...a very good pick.

I was pleased with Clevelands draft. They also picked up Daniel Gibson from Texas who if he stayed in school could have been a lottery pick in the next few years.

 

I thought Chicago had a very nice draft. New Jersey also had a very nice draft.

 

I thought Toronto should have traded down and still got their guy.

 

Houston traded Rudy Gay and Stromile Swift for Shane Battier. A good deal for Memphis.

Shannon Brown will fit in nice with Cleveland.

I was satisfied with Chicago's Draft. Not alot of guys with great upside in this draft, but Tyrus Thomas is one of them, It may a year or so before the bulls are comfortable even starting him, but they have a superstar in Thomas and dramatically improved their athleticism with just that pick

 

Thabo Selfolosha was a nice pick as well, he gives Chicago size at the guard position which they desperately needed, and a very good defender to boot. Not the greatest scorer, but thats not the important thing, whats important is that he gives Chicago some size. Although Chicago didnt get the big man they needed, there really wasnt one in this draft besides Shelden Williams that could help Chicago at the 5, but Chicago is way under the cap and will make a run at Ben Wallace and other big name centers as the free agency period is underway

 

Like Stephen A Smith said on draft night, Paxson has built a team worthy of a championship or 2 down the road

All of the owners and coaches need to thank the Rockets for their stupidity .. First of all, Rudy Gay is going to be an amazing talent in the NBA .. The kid is very very athletic and would have been a nice fit for the Rockets, giving TMac another scoring option beside him .. And then they trade Stromile Swift, a very good PF who is capable of being one of the NBA's elite players and what do they get in return??? Shane Battier :thumb: .. Explain please .. Battier cant give you the numbers that Swift and Gay could have provided, no way no how .. Dumb move by the Rockets ..

You're right I COULDN'T BELIEVE the Grizzlies pulled that one off...

Swift & Gay for Battier? A no brainer!

    • He may have possibly said that to get the best out of him. Back when I was in school word got out I was going to transfer and Coach Story popped off and ask Coach Wilson in front of the team if Maryville was going to get a jock strap in return on this trade. That got back to me and I got fired up and stayed just to show them up. Now today Coach Story is one of my best friends.
    • Dylan's Dad, I'm glad you replied. I wanted to reply but wasnt willing to take the bait. There were 20 wrestlers on the team. I may be mistaken and correct me if I'm wrong but I believe 5 of the 20 attend McCallie right now and one will next year. At most, there are/were 6 kids on that team who attend McC. That leaves 14 other team members who have ZERO affiliation with McC (outside of maybe some friends) who represented our state to the best of their ability and wrestled their butts off that weekend. That weekend was a first for Tennessee and obviously a small step in the right direction for us as a state. Congratulations TEAM TN BLACK!
    • Danny Wilson is the only one that come's to mind but I don't know where he is at now.
    • I am pro coach all day long but there are some knucklehead hires for sure. 
    • This is a great question. The retirement seemed a little premature. I do not know the coach personally, but I hope he has found what he is looking for. He is a fine Christian man with a lot of principle and morals about him. I wish him nothing but the best. There are some players in the box for the next coach. This is going to be interesting to see how it plays out.
