i already took weaver at 33...

^ OK. Let's try this again.

With the 40th pick 2nd round of the 2008 NBA draft the Indiana Pacers select...
Drew Neitzel from Michigan State

From NBADraft.net

NBA Comparison: Jose Juan Barea
Strengths: Has developed into one of the premiere point guards in all of college basketball … Tremendous floor general who has the ability to score and distribute equally well … A great passer with tremendous vision … Has a good feel for the PG position, getting everyone involved and finding the open man for easy baskets … His heart, leadership and intelligence on the floor are everything you would want and expect out of a point guard … Really elevated his offensive production in his junior year exploding for 18 ppg (from 8.3 as a sophomore) … Has solid range out to college three … Mentally tough, clutch player, stepping up to the challenge in big games … Has decent speed and quickness, and really hustles, giving full effort at all times … Very aggressive attacking the basket and drawing fouls, where he’s an excellent free throw shooter … His scrappiness and competitiveness is contagious … A gym rat, he’s ambidextrous, shooting the ball with either hand all the way out to the perimeter …

Weaknesses: Despite being a star college player, scouts are skeptical about how well his game translates to the pros … Faster than he is athletic … He’s just 6-foot and lacks great athletic ability: The combination limits his ability to make a huge impact on the next level … Not especially long … Could turn out to be a solid bench player, though his physical limitations will be tough to overcome … Has no trouble at his size on the college level but in the pros his size is more easily exploited ... It creates problems on both ends of the floor as he can easily be posted up and opposing guards can see over him, plus he will have a tougher time getting shots off … Not a great defensive player. He does his best to stay in front of his man not reaching or gambling for steals too often, but his lack of lateral foot quickness is a real detriment ...

Sacramento and purple012870 are up

I think NYBOCKER used the 41st on Neitzel (not 40th).

With the 42nd pick of the 2008 NBA draft, the Sacto Kings select:

Jamont Gordon
Mississippi St.
Birthday:3/16/1987
NBA Postion:PG/SGClass:Junior
Ht:6-4Wt:220
College Team:Mississippi St.
High School:Oak Hill Academy

Overall
NBA Comparison: Anthony Peeler
Strengths: Versatile and tremendously strong combo-guard … Fine athlete, possessing a nice wingspan … A southpaw … Stat-sheet filler, able to consistently contribute in 4 categories … Built like a tank, knows how to use his body to create separation on the perimeter and space in the paint … In constant attack mode and is willing to go at help defenders aggressively … Very crafty scorer, utilizes hesitation, crossover and in-and-out dribbles to get his defender off-balance before going by … Has the stereotypical shooting form of a lefty, even though he slings it a bit, it is still smooth … Incorporates a nice step-back jumper, to go along with his reliable midrange game … When he gets hot, he will pull up from anywhere, and his quick release and nice elevation allow him get his shot off against virtually anyone … His body comes into play on the defensive end as well, where he can use his strength and length to legitimately defend PGs, SGs and SFs … He has great anticipation allowing him to track down numerous rebounds; we have seen him regularly average around 7 rebounds, which is a nice attribute for a player at his position …

Weaknesses: While he has a variety of tools at his disposal, he does not have a niche or one thing in particular that he does great … Lacks the quickness and overall distributing ability for a PG at the next level, and is undersized for a SG, although his frame and length should offset the size deficiency … While he is fairly unselfish, his questionable decision making and limited court vision hurt his chances of being a floor general/playmaker … Has epitomized the definition of inconsistency throughout his time in college … Terrible shooting games, combined with high turnover numbers bring into question his focus and preparation … The release and follow-through on his shot are inconsistent, resulting in sporadic shooting performances, and also being the main cause to his struggles at the charity stripe … His ability to create and finish with his right hand is very limited, and he seems to lack confidence in his off-hand when pressured … Even though he has good leaping ability, his height - or lack thereof - substantially hurts him when finishing around the basket; he rarely gets an easy lane to the hoop, instead he is always forced to attempt an acrobatic move, which he struggles to convert at times … Can become very lackadaisical on the defensive end, falling asleep on the weakside as well as not showing much determination in chasing over or fighting through screens …

I'll claim it for the sake of continuity, but that would mean I have bac to back picks.
