Official 2009 NBA Draft Day Thread

[kobyz]

why not take Mills instead of De Colo?

[kbrury]

Blair will play twice as hard in Nando's absence lol

[Brazil]

Antoine Rigedeau, (French 2000 Silver medalist, Former Dallas Mavericks and European Star) had this to say about the young talent:

• "He (Nando)'s a good player (who) can do it all. (He) can drive to the basket or take a pull-up jump shot in traffic. (He) can shoot threes and can play the pick and roll and one on one. He's explosive and has good feet quickness. He's really a good passer so he can score and make the others better. And his first quality is his brain...he's smart and really mature even if he played only one season as a professional."

A. Rdigaudeau one of my favorite french player !

Stuart Scott - "A lot of people don't know about Danny Granger"

Who the are these people?

[Texas_Ranger]

Phoenix like Slovenians..uuu

[Mugen]

its a longshot that mcclinton sees any court time this season but def a good gamble.

[Biggems]

Dammit we pass on Nivins and he goes to the Mavs of all places

[timtonymanu]

again with the Shaq to Cavs talks. Jesus!

[SouthTexasRancher]

Green to the cavs =

Love to have De Colo with one of the 50s though

And you got your wish...!

If Lee mard doesn't get drafted, I'll be very disappointed if Pop isn't on the phone right away to get him into our summer league team...

[exstatic]

I don't want to get too crazy on McClinton yet, his size bothers me.....

But his numbers for catch and shoot jumpers are insane.

I'm talking 1.7 points per possession, 56.8 FG%, 85%(!) adjusted FG%

His other numbers are pretty good too, but one thing is certain. The kid can shoot.

He was the only guard in the draft with a score over 1.0 in every category. You run him in the backcourt with Manu or Mase or Marcus Williams and cross match on defense.

Next thing you know, Stuart Scott is going to be saying "One unknown player who is really starting to come into his own is a guard by the name of Tony Parker"

Blair: Great pick for a second round.
Mcclinton: Too short, can't defend, nough said.
De Colo: Promising player.

Spurs need a front line. I hope we get some help for TD he can not do it by himself.

[SouthTexasRancher]

again with the Shaq to Cavs talks. Jesus!

I agree...it is getting old. But, ESPN loves their darlings.

I'm pretty sure that McClinton can make the 15 man roster. Give him Vaughn's slot and stick him in Austin for a year.

for sure! been watching the videos on McClinton and I'm impressed. An excellent draft indeed.

[Russ]

Spurs got DraftExpress number 11 (Blair) and 34 (McClinton) prospects.

[SpursFanInAustin]

I like McClinton's swagger after he makes a shot. Very Stephen Jackson-esque

[Spursfan092120]

Elonu is actually a good pick..

[SouthTexasRancher]

Blair: Great pick for a second round.
Mcclinton: Too short, can't defend, nough said.
De Colo: Promising player.

Spurs need a front line. I hope we get some help for TD he can not do it by himself.

Not to worry...Pop & R.C. will come through and probably big time!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Alright, Elonu got drafted. Glad to see, hate to see who it's by.

[Spursfan092120]

Miami had a of a draft...lol..

Blair: Great pick for a second round.

Same here. Hopefully the lakers trade him.

[symple19]

"Let's get back to playing championship, soul-crushing defense"
Go Spurs Go!

[50 cent]

Good for Elonu.
