NFL draft takes years and years to make 1 pick, the MLB draft has like 90 rounds and isnte ven televised. And I dont think the NHL one is on ESPN either?

100% agreed. Great post. Add me to the list who say the NBA draft is better than the NFL draft.Sage;812412 wrote:I like the NBA draft for its inter-nationality. I love all the stories involved. I love the crying mothers. I love the suits. I love watching Stuart Scott try to pronounce some African's name, sighing, looking up at the camera, and giving up. I love Jon Barry speaking with authority as if he actually watches any international basketball. I love moments like Jan Vesley saying, "I like the John Wall game." I also don't have to take a shower like I do when I watch that sleeze-ball Mel Kiper on TV for over 3 hours. I love watching David Stern get booed because it clearly bothers him so much.
The other day I watched the 1986 NBA draft. I wasn't even born yet.
So yea, I guess I'm in the minority when I say: it's better than the NFL draft.
Dont know if you gave your opinion yet but what did you think of the deal that landed the Nuggs Hamilton and Andre Miller? I liked it for all 3 teams.Hb31187;812395 wrote:Thats because the NFL* is more popular. Hearing Gruden, Kiper and Berman(painful to listen to) for hours on end and for 15 minutes between picks is just horrendous. But to each their own

I thought Beasley was a better pro prospect and didn't think it was close. His stats were insane, he rebounded at significantly higher rate, was bigger, more athletic, shot a higher FT%, and had more blocks per game. What are some of your thoughts? IMO, he's letting Beasley's pro career cloud his judgement and listening to The Really Big Show slobber all over Williams taint his judgement.
Better pro prospect coming out of college; Williams or Beasley?

best part is at the end, when Chris say...quite degrading I might add..."good luck" before the break.
Beasley, and it makes no sense that the TWolves drafted Williams who is essentially the same player as Beasley unless they plan on moving Beas.Commander of Awesome;812569 wrote:Got in a big debate this morning About Derrick Williams VS Beasley comiong out as a Pro prospect.

WTF are you talking about? He dropped 27 and 8 on 9/15 shooting and 2/3 from beyond the arc.SportsAndLady;812592 wrote:
I went to the KU and Zona game in Vegas early in the season, and saw how awesome he could be (he didn't have a great game against KU..but the potential was there).
robj55;812831 wrote:Beasley played primarily the 3 last year but you can't move Kevin Love to the 5. So essentially you Darko at the 5, Kevin Love at the 4, Beasley at the 3 and where do you find minutes for Williams, doesn't make sense unless they are going to make another move.

lhslep134;813249 wrote:Agreed. The fact JJ Hickson held his own when getting playing time at center shows you the lack of star power at the position.
Laley23;813251 wrote:Put it this way, Roy Hibbert is arguably a top 5 center in the league.
Now, he has potential, and had some great games. But come on, he shouldnt be close. Soft as hell, isnt athletic, slow, and not a whole lot of offense. All he has is blocks, and the ability to pass extremely well from the post.
