well i gave the sam bowie scenario. i guess i mean that i hope we take a guy that's going to play like the second overall pick. i like thomas but im afraid that he's going to be a project player that takes three or four seasons to develop into the guy we need.

I don't really know lot about it, cus I'm not a big NBA fan (except playing NBA Live or watching when I have the time the Final series...which ended.. ).
But if I remember correctly two Israeli players are in this draft.
Lior Eliyahu and Yotam Halperin. I think one of them is in the first round and the other is in the 2nd, can't remember though.

Eliyahu sux!!
he wont get picked cuz he puts too many terms!
Halperin on the Other hand is a solid player,he shoots like Rip Hemilton(or even better) and he's a combo Guard in a draft that lacks Point Guards.
i see Halperin getting picked in the 50th place or something...Chad Ford is sucking his balls on ESPN.com
Portland will probably make a stupid decision (again) and pick the worst player possible or will trade their draft pick for Addonal Foyle or something

good for the heat! hehe
i hate 'toine, the heat can do a lot better (at the PG too). remember that 3 on 1 fast break (w/ flash on the wing) where he pulled up for the 3? and the defender was jason terry i think? thank god he made that, the city of miama woulda killed him

brandon roy is the most complete player in the draft. I saw every UW game this year, and if he was on a east coast team, he would be the biggest name in this draft. He is fucking sick with it.

Im pretty sure the trade in my dream was probably a crappy 2nd round pick...hah
I hated his style of play and when we got him this year I thought Riles was crazy.
yeah I remember that play as well and once they passed him the ball I was like omg I hope he dosnt do what I think he's gonna do.He's had this problem everywhere he's been and to experience his kinda play this whole year for my team was ewwww
I mean seriously the fact that the Heat won the title with Antoine as one of the people they had to depend on for that 3rd scorer says alot about D-Wade and Shaq.And trust me , we here in Miami have let him know how much he has sucked , lol.But hey he had his moments as well and did just enough to help us get the title.

I want the Blazers to get LaMarcus Aldridge. I have a hunch that he's gonna be one of the best 2 players from this draft. Most importantly he's a big with plenty of upside (but still proven not just some prospect). Plus, they need a big guy. There is the whole "Draft the Stash" campaign for Adam Morrison but I'm still leery on his defense and athleticism. I love the passion though and I think he'll score in the NBA. With the NBA going more towards shooting/offense, his defensive liabilities might not be a big of a problem.
Brandon Roy will probably win ROY because he's the most complete player in the draft as he does everything well. He just doesn't do anything exceptionally well. I wouldn't be disappointed with him though. Will he be a star or will he be a nice complementary player?
I had a dream the Blazers traded Darius Miles for a rotten pile of shiate and I was smiling ear to ear. Knicks, you know you want him.
