Title: NBA Draft Underway & Surprises Right Off the Bat
Post by: Marshal Dillon on June 27, 2013, 08:40:44 PM
What happened to Noel (UK) or Len (Maryland) being picked first in the NBA Draft? There was a lot of misleading info out there about them being the first pick.

The Cleveland Cavaliers started Thursday night's NBA Draft with a surprise, selecting UNLV forward Anthony Bennett with the draft's No. 1 overall pick.

Bennett (6-foot-8, 240 pounds) has been recovering from a shoulder injury and didn't go through the pre-draft workout circuit, but he made enough of an impression in his one college season that the Cavaliers were willing to take a chance on him.

Well, I am a half-hearted Wizards fan (yeah, I know), but I was pretty happy with the pick of Otto Porter. As weak of a draft as it was this year, I think we got one of the better players available. Now we need a true big man, not Nene.  :wall:

I saw this and I am scratching my head. While I understand the Celtics side, I am not sure I understand why the Nets agreed to take on the contracts of two aging stars. Granted, Pierce and Garnett still have some skills left, but that is a ton of money to have to take up for two guys who maybe only a couple of years left to play at a high level.
