Has any GM ever dipped into one draft class as much as Morey has in 2009. Considering Griffin, Curry, Tyreke, Ty Lawson, DeRozan, Jennings (whopping 25 PER and 60% TS% this year), Jeff Teague, Darren Collison, Taj Gibson, Jrue Holiday and Rubio also come from that class it looks like the perfect Draft to focus upon,,,despite the swings and misses 2. Thabeet 3. James Harden 6. Flynn 8. Jordan Hill 11. TWill 14. Earl Clark 23. Omri Casspi 27. DeMarre Carroll 29. Toney Douglas 32. Jermaine Taylor 34. Sergio Lull* 38. Jon Brockman 42. Patrick Beverley 44. Chase Budinger Undrafted Class of '09 Dionte Christmas Jeff Adrien Alonzo Gee Marcus Cousin EDIT: Thanks to ling ling for the Jon Brockman correction and the list of undrafted '09rs that Morey obtained. You go Morey. Hopefully he doesn't add Rubio to that list. Starters in bold * players to which we have NBA rights
well, we have earl clark's d-league rights anyway. he can sign with any NBA team. yeah, it's pretty crazy. at one point two years ago shaun livingston was the highest draft pick on this team.
Next to 1984 and 2003, where does 2009 rank on your best Draft Class list. Looks like we got three potential HOFers on this one.
Add Jordan Hill and Budinger to that 2012 team. Five players! Four from the Top 11 picks And the year before they had six 2009ers. DeMarre Carroll and Jermaine Taylor but without Flynn
I didn't remember us having Demarre Carroll? I like the player he is now I Atlanta as a good defensive wing
A lot of the fans really hate that Morey is/was trying to get Rubio. I think the Rockets would have been better with him. Rubio can't shoot for ****, but I think his Defense, Passing and Playmaking ability would make the Rockets better Rubio has played with big men his whole career he knows how to pass to them. If we got Rubio, Dwight would be averaging 30 ppg on simple dunks off his passes. Not just post feeds, I'm also talking about those passes our current players miss when a play has broken down and Dwight is just sitting in the open jumping up and down. Plus a Rubio acquisition would finally get some one other than Harden that can playmake and get others involved..
i like our chances at ty lawson this season. the nuggets will be towards the bottom of the conference, and depending on the value of the NOP pick we might have enough to get it done.
