I would rather have Taft or Blatche right now, but maybe Isiah figures one of them will be there at 30. Can't complain with this pick yet.

Oh man this would be such a great draft if we walk away with Frye, Nate and either Blatche or Taft
I wasn't born with enough middle fingers!!!

We have 4 different kinds of guards now. I hope Blatche or Taft is there at 30.

Robinson is a player I loved to watch in college.

Robinson will be a fan favorite for sure. His hops alone will do it.

Chad's analysis great pick if it is for Phoenix, a bold pick if it goes to Isiah. Don't playerhate.

I dont think you guys are realizing what Isiahs doing here. If we pick up Blatche, Petro or god willing Taft at the 30, we will be stacked at every position for the next 5 years. Hes played this perfectly so far. If Chad doesnt give him an A tomorrow i will be dissapointed

Crawford could be the odd man out. Penny is done for sure now and so is HOuston.

We could have had Petro.. . Nate is exciting, but how functional? I guess this goes with the up-tempo theme. Ukic would have been the pick for me.

I don't know quite how to feel about this.. exciting for sure.

Stephen A was raving about Nate & his ability to disrupt the other team's offense...i take it he's a good defender on the perimeter & a good ballhawk...we needed a guy like that...i wanted someone like Mike James, & Nate is basically that w/the ability to dunk at 5'7"...he'll be an instant crowd favorite imo.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

YUP. Plus did you guys see his video highlights from ESPN. He played cornerback in college. He has 4.4 speed. WOW!

What makes you think that? Craw can play the 2 Q at the 3 Steph at the 1...although that is a little small. Craw could also be coming off the bench with Ariza. Plenty of room for him.

I would have liked to move up from here to pick granger or greene but impossible. robinson like a damon stoudamire to isiah. fans will love this guy. nice guard foundation.
fishmike 9/27/2024 11:00 PM Ug I hate this. The idea of Towns is great until you see what a pussy he is. Jules is a dog. DD was a flamethrower locked up cheap for 3 more years. First Leon move I hate

LOL... seriously, if this is the case good job. Looks like IT is shooting for uptempo after all and these are good exciting players.
