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.Your 3 Players

Three players I’d like the team to come away with in this draft: Michael Beasley, Mario Chalmers, and DJ White. Three players I don’t want: Brook Lopez (too soft for me, though he might pair well with Collison), DJ Augustin (just too short), Roy Hibbert (statue). You can sub Joey Dorsey for White if you prefer. If Wilcox is moving on (and I’m pretty sure he’ll ...Draft Watch: Trade talk dominating on draft day - NBA

In the draft last night, I was hoping the Wolves would take after the Portland Trailblazers, and at least make some moves. Didn't see much to get excited about -- the expected Mayo pick, the Center I had never heard of who's playing in Greece for a few more years, and Mario Chalmers, who was traded to Miami for those dreaded words I remember from the Foye-Roy trade -- "Cash Considerations." ...What do you think of the Heat's draft picks?

The Spurs have several needs they may look to address in Thursday night’s NBA Draft. One need is for a younger backup point guard that can be a long-term replacement for Jacque Vaughn. At number 26, one player that may be available is Kansas guard Mario Chalmers. Sound familiar?
