    Lamb looks like a steal. I like this pick.

    I'm thinking if nothing happens trade-wise, doc just lost nearly all of his credibility.

    I was hoping for a Lion out of this night. Instead I only got a Lamb :(

    What I meant wad there is absolutely no way he's connected well enough to make a claim that not a single top ten pick will get traded.

    I like the Lamb pick.

    Why Rockets want scrub like Rudy Gay so much? :rolleyes:

    Morey's strategy of collecting assets and trading into the top 10 or flipping them for a star has failed...again. Can't to see what the apologists have to say now.

    You were wrong. No wonder you're afraid of making predictions.

    Their games are really similar.

    Lamb is longer so maybe he can play better defense and hit more late game shots...two things that Martin just doesn't do.

    I've wanted Lamb every since he tore it up his freshman season. I can't believe they actually drafted a high upside guy. Great pick, I thought fat Stern was about to say John Henson

    Seriously it's gettin ridiculous with the comparisons, Lamb is nothing like K. Mart. People compare all draftees to one of our present or past players, it's stupid.

    Wanted Zeller, but maybe he will last til 18; that would be great. Lamb seems like a nice kid, character guy. Didn't think he would be our first pick.

    can you imagine if we still had the 14th pick?? Morey did really well with trading for the 12th pick!

    Some of these picks are baffling, tonight.

    1. Gilchrist is a bad fit for Charlotte, if it were true that Harden was on the table. They fouled that one up.

    2. Dion Waiters, little high, though I'm surprised the Cavs drafted him over Barnes, so was Lillard.

    3. Still trying to figure out why New Orleans grabbed Austin Rivers, either Gordon is leaving or they want to transform Rivers into a point guard. They had more pressing needs than shooting guard.

    4. Andre Drummond was actually a good pick for the Pistons. Now, they can groom him up or decide to package him in a deal, later on for more proven players.


    Lamb is actually a safe pick.

    This is probably the first time I have agreed with you. This will go down as a great pick
