2008 Draft Day Thread: 7:30 ESPN

Ok, I now officially want DeAndre Jordan.  Make it happen Ed.

You're gf won't mind the sharing?

[anklebreaker]

Well, Stefanski wasn't available for the press conference (I don't think).  Hopefully he's working on something.  A few players have made it to the point where they lose all risk of becoming a bust.

har-de-har-har

I have to think that Ed is trying to arrange something in case Jordan makes it to round 2.

I be happy now if just get us a 2nd round Jordan...

[johnny broad-street]

Clearly I must. I like a taller PG who can post a little and look over his defender. I'm also a big point forward fan

[jemagee]

The sixers don't need more guys who can get to the rim, they need a guy to initiate offense and they need a guy who can shoot the three...

Ric Bucher sounds like he is trying to cover ass with that latest report. My guess is Arthur's agent called ESPN and made a stink about that report.

Still not worth a pick...

I'd take Chalmers in a heart beat over him...  I'd also be looking at a second for Richard Hendrix, Devon Hardin, Jamont Gordon, JR Giddens, Kyle Weaver...  All of whom I'd take ahead of Jordan...

It's probably easier to obtain the last 2 picks of the first round than the 1st picks of the second round.

[johnny broad-street]

True...but short of a sniper I'll take a big point who can run the offense and use his size against smaller players

[JD76ers]

DaBods just got major props at DX
"We need to give a big thanks to Derek Bodner, an expert on servers and all kinds of technical issues we could never understand. He is the main reason why the site is running so incredibly smoothly despite the fact that we?re seeing ten times as much traffic as we did yesterday. He did an amazing job getting the site ready for today."
Nice job man

All it takes to get any of them, if the team is willing, is cash.

Pistons at 29 - DJ White from Indiana.

I'd like to see the sixers pop up for chalmers as well,

[Derek Bodner]

This is one of the more precipitous drops I've seen in a LONG time.  It wasn't more than a month ago that he was a consensus top 5 pick.  I ALWAYS thought he was extremely overrated and a bust, but 7 footers who can walk and chew gum almost always get taken in the first round

I wouldn't mind those other guys, but even as a back-up defensive center Jordan is worth going after.  Guys who are athletes and that big are always good off the bench as extra defenders- if even to hack Howard.  I bet a guy like Diop gets 4M.
