I can’t believe Chris Denker didn’t mention James “The Axe” Johnson.

JJ is the pick! :)

Amare’s eye situation freaks me out. I would need some sort of medical sign-off that it wont cause him to miss LARGE parts of seasons if something happens, and I’m in.

I have actually been a lot of excited for this years draft more so then other years for some weird reason. Some good info floating around all over on whos-who.

I would do the Nash/Amare Bosh/Jose trade.

But, I might also trade the #9 for two lesser picks (if possible) and use one to pick up Rodrigue Beaubois:

Off topic, but does anyone think Phoenix would trade Nash and Amare for Bosh and Calderon?

It’s a fun team to think about: Nash, Parker/Delfino/Joey Graham, Shawn Marion, Amare, and Andrea as your starters with a pretty good bench if you can resign everyone else and use the #9 pick well.

DeRozen is the pick we need…here me out:

Yes he might be a bust like Gerald green—I really dont think he will because–greene went from High School( a shitty one) into the NBA. DeRozen went to school in Compton, would have gone straight to the NBA and didn’t. Hes way more accomplished than Green too, green was just a slam dunk champion while DeRozen has won awards in his short career:

2009 Pac-10 All-Freshman Team
2009 Pac-10 Tournament Most Valuable Player—-thats no joke

I know just one comparison to G Green is not enough to say he won’t be a bust—but I think he has a pretty good track record, something we wouldn’t know unless we saw him in college.

Kobe Byrant went 13th in the draft from high school—won the slam dunk title as a rookie now look at him

Gerald green went 18th

i think DeMar is worth the risk even if Henderson turns out to be the next B Roy.

Yeah I know, this is the first time where I’ve actually felt like watching the draft on TV instead of justreading the results afterwards

This has been an incredible series… I’m never one to be interested too much in the draft but RapsFan and Chris, along with the pieces by phdsteve, have made me excited for tomorrow.

Incredible work guys. Thanks.
