Doesn't OKc already have McGary in Steven Adams?

Bill Simmons, soccer expert?

LOL..SA is going to have their pick of guys that should have already been drafted.

Cleanthony Early?

Another rotation big, with an NBA ready body who can rebound... play with energy.  Don't think you can have enough.

Not familiar with the pick out of Stanford here though.

Jay is right btw, they didn't "back in." If you had said this exact sequence was going to happen after all (beat Ghana, draw Portugal, lose to Germany by a goal), you'd wouldn't call that backing in. And it's not like the Portugal/Ghana result was all that unlikely. The US had a ~70% chance of making the knockout round before today began.

Spurs remind me of the Ravens or Steelers in terms of drafts.

Did you catch Silver's opening statement? I thought it was good how he highlighted how well they did at various points in the draft.

I've thought Kobe should have been taking less if his primary focus was winning, but LA didn't have to give him that contract either.

SA gets best passer in the draft? Diaw gone?

[Chris B]

Two minutes per pick. Gotta love that.

Put them in reverse...lose to Germany, tie Portugal and beat Ghana....no chance there is even a mention of "backing in".

I said skinny Diaw before Rose made the comparison.

So the champs pick a guy who is not a great athlete, but is a great passer, high IQ guy. 

 

I see OKC's pick Josh Huestis says his game resembles Kawhi Leonard's....

Nice couple of nights for the Knicks.

[SportsGuy]

Early was a steal for the Knicks.

I feel guys like Joe Harris go undrafted every year.

Harris went to the Cavs (not sure if you missed)...

Yep..that was my point. He went high in R2. Just feel guys like that go undrafted often.

7'9" wing span?

That dude shaking hands with the deputy commissioner was hilarious.

Looked one of the giants shaking hands with Tyrion.
