More likely to jump off a bridge after tonight: Selby or Hopson?

Under 21 league, Bertans 18, Joseph 19, Leonard 19
Denver got Andre Miller and Jordan Hamilton for Raymond Felton? Not too bad afterall.

Concerns about Josh Selby's medical is causing him to slide.
Selby goes to Memphis
Good pick for Memphis.
There goes Selby. Can't believe he dropped 20 spots in this draft.
Hopefully spurs have big plans for trading for a big man becuase it doesn't look like they will be improving that gaping hole via this years draft.
i liked the clip of selby ripping joseph and dunking.
spurs drafted 2 19 years and a 18 year old
What a great draft for the Spurs. Best front office in the NBA.
we got the rights to a center in the Hill trade.
Best of all no idiotic trade.
If Lighty is there at the end he would be my choice. Great defender.
45. Josh Harrellson | 6-10 | 275 | PF/C | Kentucky | 22
Traded to Knicks. Josh Harrellson is not an NBA player. Congrats to him for getting drafted, but he’s got no business being taken. He’s tall and he works hard. That’s it. The Knicks paid $1 million dollars for him? I now officially believe Isiah Thomas is still making Knicks personnel decisions. -Seth Sommerfeld
There's a good chance the market could have some bigs if the NBA puts in a hard salary cap and grants amnesty to teams. We could get rid of RJ and pickup a a good, cheap big.
lighty or liggins

13(43) Chicago (Rights traded to Minnesota from Utah) Malcolm Lee 6-6 198 PG UCLA
The Bulls will send this pick to the Timberwolves. Minnesota was looking at Lee at No. 20, so he has great value here. He's one of the best perimeter defenders in the draft, and he can play both guard positions -- and the Wolves really need perimeter defense.
14(44) Golden State (from Phoenix via Chicago) Charles Jenkins 6-3 216 PG Hofstra
Jenkins was one of the best scorers in college basketball, with some similarities to Jimmer Fredette This is a very good get for the Warriors because of his ability to play both guard positions.
15(45) New Orleans (from Philadelphia) Josh Harrellson 6-10 275 C Kentucky
The Knicks bought this pick from the Hornets. The Knicks need size, and Harrellson has that. But he's a pretty big project, too. I doubt coach Mike D'Antoni will give him minutes. Then again, lacking big men, D'Antoni might not have a choice.
I also believe that they believe R.Richards will be a staple in the front court in the future.
He was like the 32nd pick.
Look at it this way - forget about Hill for a minute and just look at the draft. We got two players in the first round, and (at least) a great stash in the second. When was the last time the Spurs took two players in the first round? That alone is pretty remarkable.
The Spurs traded up to get Leonard. They don't do that unless they really love him. Nobody was shocked when Loenard got picked at #15, so it's not like the Spurs traded Hill for a scrub. He was a legit 15 pick, and we haven't had anyone that far up the board in a long, long time.
We can debate whether Joseph was a first round talent, but the Spurs worked him out enough to think so. (Remember the meltdowns when they picked Hill in the first round.)
Bertans could fool us and be ready to play, although I doubt it. But even if he doesn't, he's a great stash. His shooting ability isn't going anywhere while he develops.
In terms of just pure draft, this was as good as you could hope for, from a team who always sits one of the last positions. We'll see whether Hill was too big of a price to pay, but that doesn't change the draft itself.
Splitter, Richardson, Lorbek maybe (if Pop would ever let any of them play).
Hey Bruno, do you know whatever happened to Bourousis? Might the Spurs try for him again (should they)?

16(46) LA Lakers (from New York) Andrew Goudelock 6-3 198 SG Coll Of Charltn
Goudelock is a great shooter with crazy range. He's not really a point guard and he's undersized at the 2, but he comes up big in big games.
17(47) LA Clippers (from Houston) Travis Leslie 6-4 205 SG Georgia
Leslie is one of the two or three best leapers in the draft. He and Blake Griffin could own the dunk contest for years. Wish he could shoot.
18(48) Atlanta Keith Benson 6-11 217 C Oakland
Benson is one of the biggest players in the draft, and he was very productive. But his lack of strength and his reputation for being soft caused his stock to slide.
