Well, pretty much everyone had the Joe Alexander pick pegged correctly.

Yuck ...

What's the point in drafting Alexander after trading for RJ and keeping Redd?

You have no worthwhile point guard or power forward. You have two very good positions and one good position at center. What are you doing?

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

i'll take you. alexander.

edit - looks like we were both wrong, does that mean we both get tp's?

I think one of us was right :)  But I'm giving u a TP anyways, b/c "I LOVE giving Tommy Points!!!"

sorry - i thought you said bayless. man i need sleep.

tp back atcha.

Looks like Bayless is this year's drop guy.

Man Joe Alexander came out of no where to be a top 10 pick....he could be the steal of the draft.

Shows you how hard work and dedication really does pay off in the end.

Alexander makes sense for the Bucks because he's so raw that he won't be ready until Jefferson retires. Larry Brown with the midget. Game over Felton.

Felton is done in Charlotte

Charlotte still has no big men to surround Emeka and still have little-to-no low post scoring. Why not take Lopez? Or Speights?

For those that don't have cable (like me right now) and trade buzz from insiders on tv?

Not on ESPN.  Pretty much the same inane prattle as always.

Yeah, I thought Lopez for sure. 

New Jersey has to be taking one of the sliders here, right?

I don't love Augustin.

He never passed the ball to KD last year, from what I saw. Or that may have been Rick Barnes' offense. Regardless, seems like a shoot-first, undersized, shooting guard in a point guard's body guy. I'm no expert, just my impression.
