Official 2012 NBA Draft Thread

[JPDaBeast23]

Hope to God that Sully doesn't leave OSU. Completely off-topic but does anyone realize how awesome OSU could've been last year if Turner and Oden? If Oden used a medical redshirt last year would've been his Senior year(and was healthy).

Lighty-Buford-Turner-Sullinger-Oden

with Aaron Kraft, Jon Diebler, DeSean Thomas, and Dallas Lauderdale coming off the bench.

LOADED!

but anyway it will be a great draft. If it happens to be a lockout I'd laugh my ass off if the Cavs won the draft lotto with their pick and got #1. People would be off the walls.

All the other college teams would be loaded if their stars didn't book for the NBA too, what's your point?

I hope Sullinger does leave after this up coming season is over.. I don't want to see him ruin his draft stock. There is nothing he can do at the college level to improve his draft stock, he can only hurt it.

Could you imagine Kentucky for example?

That's just how college sports work. The big programs always got to reload.

This never would have happened.
1) Oden was a lock one-and-done
2) Oden is never healthy.

thats like saying imagine if Stoudemire joined Syracuse in 2002, Lebron in 2003, and Dwight and Livy in 04, and they all stayed together to form
Livingston-James-Anthony-Stoudemire-Howard

"LOADED!"


oh, and 100% unrealistic.

 

[Rice18]

There are some nice wing guards coming out if they all do.

 

[VC15]

Im saving all these posts...Rivers will be in the nba after his freshman year at duke.

How is this even a debate?

And LOL at Dwight to Boston. Dwight would stay in Orlando before going there.

Oh yeah I forgot that hes going to Brooklyn like Melo and LeBron did

Where did I say that he was going to Brooklyn?

Boston isn't on Howard's list of desired teams.

You fail again. Don't you ever get tired of it?

1. Yes, he probably won't come to Boston
2. You act like Dwight is 100% not returning to Orlando; thats where he's gonna re-sign most likely
3. Dwight will be a Celtic before a Net, book it.

1. Good to see that you aren't entirely delusional, like DooDoo is.
2. He's been eligible to re-sign that extension for a year, and has confirmed that he won't re-sign unless Orlando improves (nearly impossible to do with their salary situation).
3. Deron and Dwight have actually discussed playing together in the past. Here's a link to the story. Has Dwight ever even spoken to Rondo (who is nothing more than a "big three" product).

Boston is fucked as soon as the "big three" tandem is gone, book that.

Some people make it sound like the guys who are incoming freshman are guaranteed to be great. Who's to say they don't suck at the College level? This is honestly a discussion for next April (after March Madness) imo. /:

In other news, if UK's players live up to expectations ; National Champs?

 

[The Young One]

Don't see one freshman on that list who's gonna bust...not one



Edit:Only one that can be debated is Tone...and thats more so depends on if he stays more than 1 year which is possible.

Who are me and you to judge though? High School and College are two different levels. I've seen kids in my school who play amazing on the basketball team, but the majority of them won't even be in a D1 College, let alone a stud at the college level.

Difference is..the kids at your school..are nowhere near as nice as a Davis, Rivers, Gilchrist....not to mention most of these guys are going to school with great coaches who know how to showcase 1 and done talents.

Do I believe all of, or even most of these kids will be busts at the college level? No. Is it a possibility? Yes. So It's way too early to discuss this imo.

Then I dont see the point of posting...
