Interesting pick

Knicks media have been killing him over the past few weeks, I'm surprised the fans there were so kind after he was announced.

Could be a very good fit for D'Antoni

The Knicks fans are an absolutely classless group of people. Why Stern not only tolerates their behavior during these drafts, but rewards them by having every single one there is beyond me. They should spread this around the NBA cities each year or at least put it in a place where the people have a shred of decency...

and after hearing their reaction to the pick, they don't know much about international basketball or basketball in general.

I predict the Clips will take Gordon. TP for TP, who's up for the challenge?

John Starks, Charles Oakley, and Patrick Ewing are not going to walk through the doors.

Very good pick for the Clippers.

Milwaukee should take Bayless. He already has more point guard skills than Mo Williams.

I thought they might take Speights after the Yi trade. That'll be interesting to watch too.

Okay, so if the first Lopez is falling, maybe the second one will drop down to the C's after all?

A lot of folks had him going to Charlotte. I thought that was a good call. Okafor is a great fit next to a scoring center like Lopez.

Like the clippers pick aswell, but if the clippers are thinking playoffs, they will need a backup at the point.
