damn you efw... damn you to hell!

bwahaha!

Actually, I think he'd be a great pick for Portland. They don't need anymore athletes but they could use someone with a good all-around game. In 2-3 years, he could be a steal at 13.

Cross-Country Workout Swing: Part Two, Abunassar Impact Basketball
May 20, 2008
Alexander came into his morning workout with a great reputation, as everyone we spoke with that had been working with him over the past week could not stop raving about how well he had been responding to them thus far. “A fierce worker,” Joe Abunassar told us. “He’s an animal in the weight room,” strength trainer Tony Falce told us. “He’s worked non-stop for every minute since the second he got here.” One after one, each of the trainers filtered over to our direction to share a story about their favorite pupil. And indeed, physically he’s extremely impressive, quick off his feet, agile, with a great frame, and big hands. “He has great strength, balance, and power” Abunassar told us. Alexander looks like he’s in incredible shape, having finished off the grueling shooting session much stronger than he started, and looking like he could easily have gone for another hour.

Any question about just how freakishly athletic he is vertically were answered as we watched him perform a series of highlight reel caliber dunks as the day of workouts came to a close—360s, off the backboard, windmills, the Vince Carter “honey-dip“/elbow inside the rim, between the legs, taking off from a step inside the free throw line, he visibly wowed each and every one of the players on the sidelines with his antics. Just for good measure, he finished off by jogging lightly towards the basket, jumping off two feet and viciously head-butting the rim.

Yes sir.

the philadelphia 76ers and BigRedDog are on the clock...

Why?

Because I said add instead of select?

Wow...that's a little strict (especially considering the 24 hrs + it took some people to make their pick).

Yo DJ.. I'll take the Minnesota picks(or just one of them)

By the way.. thanks for doing this and keeping it organized.

With the 14th pick in the NBA Draft, the Golden State Warriors select, DeAndre Jordan, Center from Texas A&M.

Very strange pick Golden State has Biendrins, Wright(pf but plays C in Nelsons system), Patrick Obryant, Kosta Perovic, and now Jordan

Sorry I didn't have the 2nd pick and the ability to make one of the easiest picks in the draft like yourself.

And by the way, Biendrins and Wright are the only good players you mentioned. Wright should not play Center in that system which is why they should take Jordan, whose game fits the Warriors style and is a larger frontcourt player(who has the ability to get up the court like the smaller players the've been using) would do the team good instead of constantly being outsized.
