    Honestly, I have to say that I'd be pretty happy with Paul George.

    I say we go after Donatas!!!! I think he'll be closer in the range of where we'd probably draft. Besides....it gives us another DM to believe in lol :D

    It is official, Motiejunas has established himself a legit force. And he did it through defense, earning his dues with his coaches and teammates, and making the best of his opportunities. And we have now what will turn out to be the steal of the draft.

    DMo has impressed!

    Wall is a guy to build your team around and has been a consistent force for years, let's not get over-excited by Donatas' recent play.

    Excellency for what? John Wall is a pretty good NBA player. Dmo is starting to get really good.

    Both did well

    Not just in reference to John Wall and Donatas Motiejunas. Several posters made comments about other players in the draft that mostly ended up being correct.
