Penny Hardaway's Ghost 260 Report post Posted June 25, 2009 Orlando definitely needs to get Josh Heytvelt and Jeff Adrien on their summer league roster, both of those guys are intriguing to me, really surprising not to see either (or both) of them drafted tonight...

They may be undersized for their positions, but they can ball yeah... I say we bring in Tony Gaffney, Jeff Adrien and A.J. Abrams. David Thorpe said Gaffney reminds him of a younger Birdman. Gaffney averaged 11 points, 10 rebounds and 3.8 blocks per game this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shine88 85 Report post Posted June 25, 2009 quote: The Mavericks acquired point guard Nick Calathes in a draft night trade, sending a future second-round pick to the Timberwolves. Because Calathes is under contract in Greece, the soonest he might join the Mavericks is 2010-2011. The combo guard has the skills needed to succeed in the NBA, but he's not very athletic and needs to get stronger. quote: The Mavericks were working on moving high into the second round to try to select Pittsburgh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravlady 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2009 Gerald Henderson going to the Bobcats...drafted one slot higher than Hansborough. Happy day any time a Dukie prevails over a Tarheel. LOL After all is said and done there were some strange picks in this draft. Felt bad for Stephen Curry. He really wanted to go to the Knicks. Nobody should ever have to play for Golden State. But hopefully Phoenix will get him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fan for too long 16 Report post Posted June 26, 2009 DeJuan Blair will go down as the steal of the draft. A better baby Davis IMO. I can't believe we didn't trade the TPE for a draft pick in the 2nd to pick this guy. UGH!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UGH!!!! pretty hard to use your TPE on a player in the draft when you used the TPE 5 hours earlier in a trade for Ryan Anderson... also I think Patty Mills at #55 will be the bigger steal with Blair right behind him...If Mills actually gets to play for Portland, and they don't do to him what they have done to Bayless, he's going to show and prove...

Jareth Cutestory 678 Report post Posted June 26, 2009 I'm shocked Wesley Matthews didn't get picked. Or did he stay in school? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or did he stay in school? just didnt get picked...to be honest though, Matthews is kind meh with me, I'm more surprised that McNeal didnt get picked than Matthews... to be honest Josh Heytvelt Dionte Christmas Jeremy Pargo Luke Nevill Micah Downs Josh Carter Joe Ingles Jerel McNeal Chris Johnson Jeff Adrien Lee Cummard I'm surprised that each and every one of these guys weren't picked up...obviously they can't all go, but considering some of the foreign players that were selected, I'm pretty confused looking at this list...

Jareth Cutestory 678 Report post Posted June 26, 2009 I could have sworn Heytvelt was picked. Yeah, I thought McNeal was actually a solid late 1st round/early 2nd pick watching him at Marquette. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
