Fortunately for Majok, he doesn't have to stay in the draft to get money for his family. He can do that playing for Connecticut.

If Sam Young (along with DuJuan Summers) gets drafted in the first round then the amount of first round draft picks coming out of Maryland (players who originated from the state) this decade is sick. I'm going to try to remember as many as I can:
Carmello Anthony
Donte West
Michael Sweetney
Kevin Durant
Jeff Green
Rudy Gay
Donte Greene
Roy Hibbert
Michael Beasley
Help me out, fellas. I know I'm missing a couple, right?
Possible first rounders this year are of course Summers, Young and Tyson Lawson

Juan Dixon, Dermarr Johnson and Joe Forte. Bogans was a 2nd rounder.

Maybe its because he went to Syracuse or maybe its because he's another short guard, but for whatever reason I don't want my Knicks to draft Johnny Flynn. Yet, my gut says he's least likely to bust outside of Rubio this draft.
By the way, I'm hoping with this weak class that more guys from the D league get a chance this year. Perhaps a former #33 Hoya??

nbatv has been showing old drafts for a few hours and i have to admit that ive been mesmerized by some of the stuff in this '84 draft
first of all it was on the USA Network...
they had Louie doing color commentary...
when most of the guys in the early part of the first round were taken, they were live via satellite from a team usa boot camp that coach knight had in bloomington
vern fleming was the worst interview ever
what was alvin robertson wearing?
i think stockton's shorts at gonzaga were shorter than the ones he wore for the jazz
can't wait for the 85 draft so i can see malone's suit and tie

Looking forward to Thabeet coming to Tennessee. Missing link in the chain. Mayo, Conley, Gay and Thabeet, nucleus of good things to come. Go Grizzlies.

Thabeet is doing his best to avoid getting drafted by Memphis. I hope the team drafts him anyway.

Thabeet is doing his best to avoid getting drafted by Memphis. I hope the team drafts him anyway. He and Ricky Rubio both, apparently. I guess nobody wants to play for the Grizz any more. I wonder if they will draft Thabeet, since Mark Gasol was actually a very pleasant surprise for them this year. |

Any Knicks fans out there with thoughts on the draft and what to do with the pick?
It seems like they need a guard and like Curry, but I don't think he'll be on the board. The Wolves seem to like someone enough to make a deal for a pick in this weak draft. My bet is that they like Curry with one of the picks, especially with the loss of Foye. That is for the better on the Knicks end in my opinion. I see too much Starks in Curry and think he's more likely a bust than not.
If a trade does not happen, I'd like to see NY go with Flynn. His energetic play would fit in, and he does not hurt the team with anything he does. The last thing NY needs to do is draft an Evans or Derozan - head cases.
In terms of underrated players on the mock drafts, I think Earl Clark is slightly undervalued. He's a great multidimensional athlete who could turn into a poor man's Jeff Green. Great talent IMO.
Not too many second round steals, but you could probably do worse than Danny Green. He might turn into a decent specialist in a couple of years.
As for Dajuan Summers, he could do worse than model himself after Sean Elliott.

As for Dajuan Summers, he could do worse than model himself after Sean Elliott. I think the last thing the Knicks need is a project with their number 8 pick. And since this a weak draft, Flynn is a solid option. BUT IMO-- Knicks need to move up in the draft to the #2 or #3 to draft Rubio and give the grizz David Lee or Chandler (although I hear Chad Ford saying Chris Wallace is gun shy to trade) or move down and grab an asset. We need to build a squad tantalizing enough to grab a big player in 2010--so far Miami, NJ, Dallas, Detroit are all miles ahead of us. EDIT: I hear you on the Earl Clark as poor man's Jeff based on talent. But what we need is a true Jeff Green type; someone who is tough as nails. |

The Wizards with the Moron Move of the Draft--to get Randy Foye is a joke. The guy is a CLOWN and brings nothing but a guard who can't dribble with his off hand, and loves to hold the ball late in clock and throw up a throwing toss at backboard that goes in once every 1000 times he does it. Awful defender, and just another McHale "mastermind" move--Hey--let's draft Brandon Roy and trade him for Randy Foye--that is pure genius!!!
Nobody Beats the Wiz--when it comes to not knowing what the hell to do.

They got some bad contracts off the books so unless either of you is really high on Harden I don't see what the problem is.

Wizards also got rid of a locker room problem between Etan Thomas and Brendan Haywood. But they absolutely did nothing to start solving their main on-court problem which is defense.
