    What were Mr. Christmas' stats?

    By the way, "Mr. Christmas" sounds like the name for a pimp. :)

    dejuan blair at 37th is a bit of a surprised.... definitely a steal at 37. spurs had nothing to lose drafting him at 37, if he does have knee or weight problems then they could simply let him go without signing him. good pick once again by the spurs. plus they lose kurt thomas and oberto so they are looking for some bigs to fill their roles.

    i also think Jermaine Taylor in the 2nd round is a steal...the guy is athletic and strong, plus he has a good jump shot.

    Blair is definitely a steal by the Spurs. Budinger as well.

    Anybody who compares Blair to Dorsey obviously did not watch them in College.

    Sam Young at #36 to Memphis. 6'7'', versatile, and very tough.

    Also, keep an eye on Jon Brockman. The Kings took him at #38. Four-year player at Washington, animal in the paint, and a rebounding machine.

    I wonder what Danny Green's role will be in Cleveland? He's also extremely versatile, and he can knock down the long range shot. It seems like the Cavs already have plenty of shooters around Lebron though.

    Mills #55. Seriously amazed he fell that low... he is basically Aaron Brooks with more of a brain. After Brooks had the playoffs he did and how silly Mills made some of the US team look with his speed in the Olympics you would think teams would be all over another extremely quick PG.

    He's an offensive threat. He will play with Philly in the summer league so you guys can check him out on there squad.
    I also believe DeRozan will pan out to be very effective aswell as Jrue Holiday. They both have good work ethic and were overlooked (especially Jrue).

    Patty Mills at 55 is definitely a steal! To bad he broke his foot...

    Nando De Colo is playing for France instead of SL. I guess I won't bother with Spurs games unless they play the Rockets.

    I was very surprised to see Sam Young fall that far. He will be a good pro in the future,IMO.
