Wow — I don’t think anyone expected the Pistons to have this many options. With Mario Chalmers, Chris Douglas-Roberts, Bill Walker and DeAndre Jordan still on the board, the Pistons selected DJ White out of Indiana with the 29th overall pick. I guess we should have figured — it was a month ago that word of a promise first leaked. Updates will follow.  ... [link]

Spurs draft George Hill

mad0214 posted 6/27/2008 from projectspurs.com

With the 26th pick in the draft, the Spurs selected IUPUI Guard George Hill. Who, you might be wondering. I expected Hill to be drafted in the second round and with Mario Chalmers, Chris Douglas-Roberts, DeAndre Jordan, Donte Greene and even Darrell Arthur all still available, I was pretty surprised to hear David Stern call out Hill’s name.

I love CDR.  I was hoping that he'd fall to 35, but I thought it would be highly unlikely.  He's a classic case of scouts and GMs getting hung up on the wrong stuff, and missing the fact that a guy can PLAY.  (As such, he's a fascinating contrast to DeAndre Jordan, who didn't even start consistently for his college team.)  Look at it this way - on the same team as ...

My bad. DeAndre Jordan is sitting in the first row and not in the draft room. Poor Darrell Arthur. It's gotten so bad that his younger brother has his head on the table and is fast asleep. There was a run of big men starting with Robin Lopez (15), Marreese Speights (16), Roy Hibbert (17), JaVale McGee (18), J.J. Hickson (19), Alexis Ajinca (20), Ryan Anderson (21) and Kosta Koufos (23).  ...

No Sonic trades to report as of yet, and with the #24 pick looming, will the Sonics go for foreign-born talent here, just to help Clay Bennett avoid spending more than $0.01 more than he has to while he's in Seattle? DeAndre Jordan is still hanging around (please no, please, please, please), as is Kosta Koufos. Three names stand out for me: CDR, Courtney Lee, and Nicolas Batum. I know ...
FINAL TWO IN DRAFT ROOM: ARTHUR AND JORDAN

Posted 6/27/2008 on College Hoop Blog: Good 'N Plenty

Darrell Arthur and DeAndre Jordan are the last two standing. Not much of a surprise with Jordan, who hasn’t really done anything to establish himself as a lottery pick. However, Arthur is extremely talented and has also proven himself. Toronto just took Roy Hibbert with its first round pick, No. 19 overall. Chris Bosh, Jermaine O’Neal and Hibbert – with no one in the backcourt. No ...

Bubbles always pop; that's what they do; that's why we call them bubbles. Dot-com, housing, and now DeAndre Jordan. The man who kept us at the edge of our seat all season waiting for him to take over a game, but never did, is sliding in the NBA draft. Some how, despite his college "performance", DJ's stock never dropped. But now, after some one-on-one matches where he " did not looked good ...
