Draft Slide?

Postby EGarrett on Wed Jun 18, 2003 5:03 am

Well...someone always seem to mysteriously drop in the draft. Last year it was Butler...the year before it was Eddie Griffin...etc etc.

Since we all love making predictions...if someone drops on draft day...who will it be and how far will they drop?

I say Dwyane Wade. With Eurohype in full effect...Pavel...Lampe...Pietrus et al will be going pretty high. With doubts about his size and his status as a two guard...I think he's going to fall.

He's projected to go to the Bulls at number seven. I say he drops to around 12 or 13.

If I had to pick someone else...it would be T.J. Ford. Again Eurohype could strike. With T.J. being an undersized point guard and Jay Williams not living up to expectations...he might fall from 5 to 9 or 10. But I think Dwyane is more likely.

I hope Ford falls and the Wizards get him :wink:

Its so hard having a stinking team with stinking management and a stinking owner for a hometown team.

I'll go with Ford, for the same reasons EG mentioned.

I'd say Ford too... Speaking of Eddie Griffin, is he good enough for the Rockets? I say the Nets got a steal by getting RJ for Griffin...

Griffin's not a bad player. 8.6 ppg, 6 rpg, 1.44 bpg in 24.5 mpg. He could probably contribute more with increased playing time.

I think Kaman and Hayes have a good chance of dropping. Hayes could be a victim of the import swingmen in the draft, and Kaman didn't have too impressive workouts I read.
