First Round Draft Notes & Thoughts

==> Eric Gordon’s suit was the worst by far as it was just dumb and shiny and his dress shirt was black and white with vertical stripes and a white collar. He does have a great shooting stroke though that probably won’t even come close the helping the Clippers.
==> How does Jeff Van Gundy think that Stephon Marbury is still a very good point guard in the NBA?
==> Why are the Team Draft hats so ugly? Why not just follow the 80’s trend and go back to the Starter hats?
==> Joe Alexander sounded really funny and wants to bring toughness and can’t wait to get to Milwaukee? His pants looked oversized too.
==> The preview for Pineapple Express looked amazing and I am excited for that and Wanted with Angelina Jolie that shit looks dope too, ya dig?
==> Brook Lopez looks funny with his haircut and probably even funnier now that the Bobacats just chose D.J. Augustine when they already have Raymond Felton. It looks like Brook Lopez is crying right now, wow. The Nets did draft him at number 10, and his brother, Robin, is infinitely cooler and funnier. I started laughing out loud when Brook started speaking and just spit all over my computer. I’m not even going to mention the Lopez brother infatuation with Walt Disney and Michael Jackson, oops.
==> Jared Bayless feels he can play any position, really?
==> Jason Thompson just went 17 picks too early, and will form an unstoppable duo with Spencer Hawes (jkjkjkjk). Why not trade down to get him later? Jeff Van Gundy has faith in the Kings draft scouts, who selected Spencer Hawes last year, and Quincy Douby and Francisco Garcia the two years prior to that.
==> Props to Candance Parker as this week she had more dunks in two games, two, than her husband to be, Shelden Williams, has had in his entire NBA career. The amazing thing isn’t that women are dunking now; it is that someone in the world would marry Shelden Williams.
==> The Trailblazers are going to be the Western Conference Champions for the rest of the millennium as they make smart picks like Brandon Rush and have so much amazing young talent.
==> Anthony Randolph looks like he is 12 ½ years old, even though he is 6’10 sub 200 pounds, “painfully thin” according to Jay Bilas. Going to fit well with Patrick O’Bryant and Brandan Wright as the same exact player filling three roster slots.
==> The members of the Lopez family are the stars of the NBA Draft as the Mom just scared everyone watching, and Robin is actually really awesomely cool and hopefully will be better than Varejao and be cool on the Suns. And they just did a “Wired” segment with Brook Lopez, OMG!!
==> First trade during the draft so far between the Blazers and Pacers, Bayless and Brandon Roy in the back court could be dangerous! Western Conference Champions 2009-2999! Oh shit they just lost Josh McRoberts, fuck! Western Conference Champions 2009-2998!
==> Stuart Scott has said 47 times that the Pac-10 is supposedly not a basketball conference, who has said that Stuart this past year, anyone?!?!?
==> The Nets have Devin Harris, Vince Carter, Yi Jianlin, Brook Lopez, Ryan Anderson, and cap room for 2010 so they can get LeBron James!
==> Kosta Koufos is going to the Utah Jazz!!!!! Mehmet Okur is already there though!!!!!
==> At this point no teams have even worked out Darrell Arthur and teams have guaranteed spots to players like the Magic and Courtney Lee, sucks to be him, oh wait he is going to make paper stacks because he is going to the NBA.
==> Damien Wilkins is a key reserve for the ________ Super Sonics and Johan Petro is the starting center, but Russell Westbrook is tight and they just drafted Serge Ibaka!! The future is now in __________.
==> George Hill now of the Spurs is in shape as in shape can get according to Stuart Scott even though he went to IUPUI and no one as ever heard of Hill before this moment except Chad Ford who had him going in the second round.
==> Brandon Roy, Martell Webster, Jared Bayless, Darrell Arthur’s kidney, Lamarcus Aldridge, Greg Oden, Travis Outlaw, Sergio Rodriguez, UH OH!!!!!!!
==> J.R. Giddens needs to improve his “Professionalism,” I don’t think that will be an issue as he will be a Posey prototype with the same build, shooting ability, but much better athleticism.
