2005 NBA Draft

[Kid Robb]

Who's going to be in the top couple of picks?

Could Andrew Bogut go no 1?

Any golden HS players coming through this year?

It's hard to keep up with this shit from the otehr side of the world.

[DaveWadding]

looks like college kids are actually going to be high draft class this year. Chris Paul (Wake), McCants (UNC), Stoudamire, Frye etc. (U of AZ) Bogut etc. all look like real good picks this year.

[The Outlaw]

Kennedy Winston declared today. :(

So Bogut is for sure going?

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I would assume Bogut is going, he will be the #1 pick if he does.

There isn't that many high schoolers coming out that I've heard of, theres a few European guys though.

go to www.NBADraft.net for some info

[The Miz]

Bogut already said he is leaving

[BCWWF]

Here's another one, it doesn't look too accurate to me though

Green looks to be the best HS this year. Mcgrady comparison

[BCWWF]

Phew, hopefully he goes to the NBA then, he is an OSU recruit :p

GO MIZZOU

Salim and Bogut could be the first two picks in my opinion.. wonder if redick is gonna declare for the draft, how do u think he would do in the nba?

[The Outlaw]

He will stay, I would think.

[BCWWF]

I think he'd be smarter to stay, he is good but needs to develop his game more still and he would be better off under Coach K then an NBA coach for now.

[The Miz]

Redick has no chance in the NBA, why not stay at Duke

[The Miz]

Also where would he find time to write his excellent poetry

[Gertner]

Utah had better draft a guard!!!

[The Outlaw]

Also where would he find time to write his excellent poetry
While he's on the bench.

[RoXer]

I wish Stoudamire and Diago go to great teams.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Stoudamire has one of the top picks? Lots of people have him projected as a late 1st rounder.

Williams from UNC will be a high pick because of his "potential" - the NBA is really getting pretty bad now. He isnt even the best player on UNC but he is the best athlete so he is projected to go one or two.

[BCWWF]

I was thinking about like on the lines of what Stima is talking about earlier this week, and like how the NBA would fare with a real minor league, and honestly I don't think it would work very well. The way basketball works, especially right now, its completely individual and players would just try to show off to get called up.

What I think would work, and would actually be a really good idea, is if the NBA worked out something like they have in world soccer, where you can borrow a player to other teams. So like, if the Timberwolves draft Ebi two years ago, instead of spending two years sitting on the pine and working the "IL", he could be borrowed to a European team and develop there for a year or two, but then have to come back to the NBA. I think the NBA would be very smart to get more involved internationally, like soccer has done. Just a thought.

[Lotus]

All that matters to me is who the Hawks (presumedly Bogut unless they get fucked in the lottery) and the Warriors get (hopefully a center that can play offense so Foyle can go back to being a solid back-up).

[Kid Robb]

If the Warriors got Bogut they'll be really good. Would work well with Murphy, Dun, J.Rich and B.Davis.

[BCWWF]

Are the Warriors that low in the standings? I didn't think they were that down in the cellar

[The Outlaw]

They are 27-45.

There's like...5 teams worse off than they are I think? 4 or 5

[BCWWF]

Oh ok, I don't think they have a good chance at getting the first pick then.

[mrslackalack]

I'd say the biggest early entry suprise has to be Kelenna Azibuke off UK who would have thought he would enter after this year?
