you confident he will get drafted matty?

I know he impressed in the workouts and has played international ball but his probally got a 25% chance of getting drafted. I hope he does though!

Houston takes Aaron Brooks #26

 

[mattyj]

im pretty confident he will be drafted, not confident he will ever play in the NBA

Newley has a fair change to go in the 50's and a higher chance in the late 50's but it's really unpredictable, you can never guess the 2nd round.

 

[mattyj]

other aussies have been drafted 2nd round and never played in the NBA (David Andersen, Ben Pepper, Paul Rogers, Ben Melmeth??)

 

[jimboiitmac]

what's the deal with Yi Jianlian, why wouldn't you play for Milwaukee?

He'd look pretty next to Andrew Bogut.

Milwaukee = Small Market = Small Asian Population

True that, and David Andersen and Ben Pepper were both drafted pretty highly.

Well at least I know Andersen was #37 but I can't remember the rest.

Andersen definately could've played, Ben Pepper probably could've been a 3rd rotation centre and Rogers back in the day would've been a solid backup.

Apparently their not happy LOL

Man who cares where you get drafted thank God you were born 7ft tall and you will be playing in the best leauge in the world and earning millions.

Now the picks start to become not as solid and promising.. Derrick Byars is still going to be the biggest steal, where does he go?!

 

[mattyj]

Pistons will take Byars or Fazekas

 

[mattyj]

Man i forgot about this guy, he is a tremendous player from what i've seen. Good pick up for Detroit, he is a tough player!

 

[mattyj]

[nenjabin]

Ooo so 76ers got some big grit in Jason Smith did they? Nice.

 

[mattyj]

[SPREE FAN]
