freak wingspan of 7'6"     6'10.5" in shoes.

Hell of an athlete....hopefully he can block some shots and rebound.

i was kinda hoping the bucks would get james anderson.

Its now official. You can throw every single mock draft away with the pick of the French kid (most had him in the mid-20's).

I fit this feelin that this bodes well for Lazar!

[goodgreatgrand]

Whoa. Bledsoe? I didnt know he was eligible for the draft?

[KipsBayEagle]

Rivers drafts Hayward?  I'm feeling it!!!

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

I don't know about that.  Dunleavy could never play in the post like Hayward, he was/is basically a spot up shooter only.  I think GHayward fits Utah perfectly, he's kind of an under-the-radar, fundamentally sound, versatile player that Jerry Sloan loves.  He can do pick-and-roll, post-up, and he can shoot.  I think he's a good pick for that team.

Gordon Hayward will be the biggest bust of this draft.

Gordon Hayward will be the biggest bust of this draft.

I agree with that, but I think bledsoe will be a close second. I just don't understand the hype with this kid. He is a terrible shooter, and not nearly as explosive as wall or rose. He is too small to be a 2 in the NBA, and not good enough to be a point imo. He should've stayed another year or two, but of course that's not really an option at kentucky it seems.

Good pick for the Bucks.  They can still nab a good center prospect in the second as well as a guard, hopefully Jordan Crawford if we're lucky and maybe a shooter.  Perhaps Lazar?  Although Zar would really need to compete to get minutes in the rotation.

[goodgreatgrand]

Hahaha...Durant did not look happy with the Pontdexter pick. Since mock drafts had him as a late second round pick.

[NersEllenson]

hell no, more like beast.

I agree - I think Cousins will have the best career of any player in this draft...

He has the potential, but it could go either way with him.  And lol at Durant on the Pondexter pick.

[NersEllenson]

I think Jordan Crawford could be a very, very good player in the league..and at this point, whoever gets him, is getting a steal.  He's similar to another Crawford - Jamal...great range, instant offense, great quicks/creativity.  Love his game.  Not afraid to take big shots.  clutch player..surprised he's still available..

[cheebs09]

He just got picked, but might get traded. I was hoping the Bucks would take him or Anderson. He put on a show at the BC for the tourney.

Since he went to the Nets, I guess we can cross off LeBron going there, unless he wants to get dunked on every day in practice.

Yup...stays in the Midwest.

Udoh is a bust and the exact pick you expect a terrible organization like the warriors to pick. I hear joe Dumars sent them a huge thank you gift basket. Already 23 and has no offensive game and is an overrated defender. Athlete with no basketball skills.

Other than rebounding and shot blocking.

I completely agree.  MAJOR bust, but it is to be expected.
