[.GR]

There is no way the Kings take a SF!!!!!

 

[Gtown81]

Hibbert will go first overall, Miami needs a center, and I can see him going first

 

[Pugz]

If he comes out and falls to us I'd like to se the Pistons take Hasheem.

 

[Gtown81]

it would be awsome if the Raps took Kevin Love or Marreese Speights

 

[.GR]

I dont see anyone passing up on Beasley. Hibbert isnt #1 worthy.

 

[Gtown81]

I dont see anyone passing up on Beasley. Hibbert isnt #1 worthy.

Miami needs a center though

 

[monster]

naw, Collison is not going #30 lol...Russell Westbrook i believe is not entering the ddraft and Darren Collison is Top 3 if not the best PG in NCAA

 

[.GR]

Yeah if Collison is avilable for Sac I think they will take him...

 

[Gtown81]

naw, Collison is not going #30 lol...Russell Westbrook i believe is not entering the ddraft and Darren Collison is Top 3 if not the best PG in NCAA

agreed

 

[DJT]

I hope Donte stays at 'Cuse.

 

[.GR]

And Ryan Anderson and Devon Hardin both not in the 1st?????

 

[dez]

NO WAY Hibbert goes first. I dont think he should even be a lottery pick. overrated,

 

[DJT]

He is kinda overrated, but he'll be a good big guy in the league (I hope), he's one of my favorite players.

 

[.GR]

NO WAY Hibbert goes first. I dont think he should even be a lottery pick. overrated,

I totally agree.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

He's not overrated, he plays in a system that keeps him in the high post for the majority of the time. In an NBA system, he would shine. However, not a chance Hibbert goes #1. For that matter, I don't think there's a chance anybody other than Beasley goes #1.

 

[monster]

IS WESTBROOK REALLY GOIN TO THE DRAFT THOUGH

if so...OMG I WANT THE CLIPPERS TO GET HIM! THEY NEED GUARDS! NOT A SF...with Al Thorton

 

[DJT]

He's not overrated, he plays in a system that keeps him in the high post for the majority of the time. In an NBA system, he would shine. However, not a chance Hibbert goes #1. For that matter, I don't think there's a chance anybody other than Beasley goes #1.

Yea, I agree with this 110%.

 

[Pugz]

CC's right. Hibbert will be a great NBA BIG man. And Beasly's number 1 for sure.

 

[RipCity32]

I like Hendrix, wouldn't mind him at all. And yah Puggy is right, if Hasheem does fall to us there is no way we pass on him.
