Hearing The Shins 'New Slang'

Worst Draft Ever


This is gonna be the worst NBA Draft in years. Not to be too negative, but the only true top-5 pick might be Okafor. Of course, the Magic have the #1 pick and will probably take him. 

But w'about my Wiz? They've got the 5-pick and ESPN's Andy Katz predicts we're taking some guy from Latvia. I've barely heard of Latvia. Lets hope he's the next Dirk or Pau and not Darko or Nikoloz. Personally, I'd love to see a trade down for Ben Gordon or Jameer Nelson -- guys w/ high-level experience who've played w/ passion and produced results.

Is this the least-talented draft ever?

    Yes, i believe it is. If the Tar Heels came out, i think it would move up a few notches, but they stayed. But then again, after last year's draft, every draft will seem lame. And on that subject, Carmelo got robbed by LeBron. Compare stats. More team improvement, playoffs, points, rebounds....LeBron led in assists (expected from a guard compared to a forward), and blocks i think (not expected, but he got hops). And remember that when Jason Kidd (great) and Grant Hill (once a Dookie, always a Dookie) came in the League, they both received Rookie Of The Year honors. Now look at them. Carmelo was deserving of at LEAST co-RoY. But either way you look at it, that was the biggest rip off i have ever seen in awards since Jasmine stayed on Idol for a month after she should have been given the Americano-bootus.
