2009 NBA Draft thread + Updated LB Mock

PrintOk, so I wanted this to be the game thread but some dude stole my idea. I'm having a 12 person family dinner at Chickie's and Pete's that will be running up to draft time, but my brothers and I will be out of there as soon as possible. I figured that since there were a million things that happened since Tanner and I went to work on our big 2 round mock that it was time to pump out another one. There are infants running around and I'm making everyone late for dinner, so I apologize if it's not up to journalistic par. I'll be updating throughout. Hit the jump.
1. LAC - Griffin Blake Griffin

27. Mem - Gibson

29. NY - Summers
30. Cle - Sam Young
ROUND TWO - NBAdraft.net deleted my mock somehow, so I don't know all my second round picks. Here are a few that will undoubtedly be wrong.
31. Sac - Derrick Brown

Here's my best shot, I've already tanked after going 3-3 to start. We'll see how little knowledge I have as the draft goes on. It's a crapshoot, but man do I enjoy it.

Yeah well he has ‘red flags’ – plus i have a suspicion that skipping college was frowned upon and some folk wnat to teach him (and anyone else) a lesson about going to europe and making money before David Stern wants to allow you to.

Yeah, when I read that today I was fascinated how he skated scott free without a single charge – and yet no red flags against him for ‘behavior’ – yet jennings? All smells so hypocritical to me – jennings was just being a kid.
BTW Jordan – I’m going to apologize in advance if you have to delete any of my posts tonight – I just got yelled at by both my sisters so i’m having a crap ass afternoon :)

I'll be on the lookout.
This day has dragged on, and on, and on, and on for me… 1 hour and 8 minutes left.
Game thread it is.
I’d be very disappointed if they past up Maynor and Jennings. In a late development, I want Maynor over Lawson.
Why?

That’s exactly why they went back though – to get more moeny from you folks – coincidence that ‘new jerseys’ (even old school ones) in a bad economy? Of course not – it’s going to boost their bottom line all the folks who feel they have to buy the new jerseys.

Very nervous.
This draft is so important. Lots of talent, but also lots of potential to foolishly pass up certain players if several good ones are left.
I want Maynor. I have from the start. But, hopefully, if we don’t get him, I will pleased with who we do get.
I really want a second round pick too.
That or a trade for a player or two soon.
I liked that Sammy/Lou or Redd rumor.
did that warriors/suns trade rumor just surface?
or is it old i just got back from a long drive home from work
Even though Skip to my Lou go traded...
Do you guys think he will be a Net long if a team looking for a starting PG comes calling?
fightlockdown.com
What does everyone think of the Shaq/Cavs move?
I think the Cavs needed a piece or two to be Lakers-good, or championship-win-good, but I don’t think Shaq is enough. He’s injury-prone for one, and getting older. They need more.
The ESPN draft people said it was good but not enough
Said they need a SG.

Chad Ford says...
Holiday can take a huge sigh of relief. He slipped a bit, not because of his talent, but because of some concerns about a shoulder injury that were just enough to scare some teams away, a la what happened to Danny Granger with mild concerns about his knee a few years ago. This is a great pick for Philly, which gets a lottery talent at 17 and has its point guard of the future.
No one's saying he doesn't have potential
And it is great value for us at 17. But not for this team. He’s not a guy that will help us right away, and that’s unfortunate. Lawson and Maynor could have helped us immediately, and this is why this pick bums me out.

My concern is
What was the Brand signing for if we are apparently building for the future? Just to fill seats/get the fan base excited?
I want to hear what Eddy and the Sixers have to say about this before I make my decision but I have to say I was surprised.
Well.
If they re-sign Miller, Holiday will be a good backup point guard. He can learn from Miller. He can develop. And we’ll be a solid contender for the next couple years.
Lynam didn't sound too optimistic about Miller
Resigning—said he wants a lot of year (4/5)—and didn’t seem to think the Sixers would do that.
why?
did the blazers trade away mad picks to move up 2 spots?

Do you think any team will be stupid enough to trade a 2nd round pick for Willie Green?

A little edgy.

I'll still be watching every second of this draft
No question. Hoping for a second round pick or a huge trade.

I love seeing these positives about a draft pick
Ball hawk on the defensive end
Good floor vision, excellent basketball IQ
Improving jump shot
if we get rid of Sammy (please), we’re going to need better perimeter defenders
Thank you
for giving the optimism – I need that now ha

Mike Bourn.
Are you going to have a write up later? If we keep Holiday (which I think we will) I think it would be cool to get two different perspectives. I like him. You don’t. We could have a mega-Holiday post. Let’s do it?
Absolutely
You post the “Pro-Holiday,” all go the opposite. It’ll be glorious.

Dileo said we were trying to trade up for him I think that indicates we are keeping him

I'd agree with that
We’ll see what happens the rest of the draft, but I’m trying to like this pick. I really am. Promise

i was gonna do an inaugural write but the “new story” thing disappeared – just wondering how to do it

I just signed on now...
but i wanted to say that it makes sense taking whichever guard was the highest on the board talent wise. Who cares if Jrue cant help us that much this year if he can the following year (like Thad). I really wouldve liked Lawson (or Jennings who was in the same category as JH being a great talent that could slip), but in every sport I love value picks. He’ll at least help out our perimeter defense this year if nothing else. He should be a good scorer and thats what EJ likes, at least judging from his Washington teams. The Princeton offense doesnt necessarily need a pure PG either…everyone on the floor should be a solid passer for the most part. And theres no reason JH wont develop good PG skills either.
Now lets go out and get a nice value 2nd rounder too. PLEAsE BE DIONTEEEEEEEEEEE (I go to Temple)
Sorry I'm late... was watching somewhere else, then computer problems.
But if you can get a top-10 talent at17, I think you have to do it regardless, especially if it’s at your position of need. I know he’s not our best pick, but they almost had no choice.
Good future pick for OKC
Plus they don’t have to pay him right now since he’ll stay in France for 2 years or so.

what happened to him?
traded? i missed it if he did
by Tanner Steidel on Jun 25, 2009 6:59 PM PDT up reply actions
no?
Unless I’m wrong, he was traded to Chicago for the 26th pick. Which was Taj Gibson.
