To celebrate that a Canadian will likely go in the first round in the draft today and as the first pick next year it is time to start an NBA thread.

Please note that unlike the NHL thread I did not have to specify that the NBA thread was about basketball.  Everyone knows what the NBA is.  The maker of the NHL thread was obviously concerned that there might be some confusion over what NHL meant and so, to be prudent, added the word hockey.

With those formalities aside.  There are a lot of big men coming out in this draft.  In years past GM's would be fighting over them.  But the game has changed substantially.   That will be demonstrated in how low the bigs go in the draft.

But despite that I think Kelly Olynyk is going high.  He is a legit 7 footer that can shoot the lights out.  He is exactly what a team needs for the style of play in the NBA with high ball screens.  If the screener can shoot like Olynyk, they have huge value.

So, I hear the Pirates are doing well.  That's unusual, isn't it?  Syt must be pleased, since he's a sucker for all Pittsburgh sports.

Doc Rivers has left for the Clippers. :(

It seems odd we get a thread about the draft while the playoffs and finals went by unnoticed.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Too busy watching great basketball to bother.

I figure I need to bring you cretins along slowly.

Canadians go #1 and #13.  Olynyk went high in the draft as I thought he would but didnt see the #1 pick coming.

And the Celtics have done been blown up! It was their time, but it's still sad to see them go.  :cry:

Better to make those moves now while they can get something for those players.

Except hockey. -_-

It is ok.  They beat the Lakers, thus their purpose in life was fulfilled.
