For what it's worth: Ainge's mock draft

How is he not a shot blocker?

if anything he will be a Raef LaFrentz type shot blocker. Hopefully, that won't be the case.

 

Danny Ainge sucks. His whiny voice makes me cringe.

sorry, just had to let that out.

oh, his mock sucks too.

 

ya never know until the actual draft but that looks like a horrible mock...

 

Ainge doesn't have a clue. I find it a little crazy that he has Juan Dixon being drafted so high. If I wanted the second best point in the draft next to Jay Williams it would be Frank Williams. Dixon can be had maybe in the late twenties (if not the early 30's).

I like this one better!!! Except for that diss on the Rockets this season: "The Rockets aren't going anywhere this season anyway."

1. Houston Rockets: Yao Ming, C, 7-5, 260, Shanghai Sharks. He can dunk on his tip toes, has a gentle touch from 3-point range and really does know how to play. The Rockets need help badly in the middle. It's a no-brainer pick with no guarantee he's tough enough to compete against the physical inside game in the Western Conference.


15. Houston Rockets: Amare Stoudemire, F, 6-10, 230, (Orlando Cypress Creek High School). The first high school pick, and he's a powerful young man with game. The Rockets aren't going anywhere this season anyway, and he has the kind of size and versatility that ultimately will fit in well with youngsters Steve Francis, Cuttino Mobley and Eddie Griffin.

 

I want to throw a basketball at Ainge's face.

Where's Horry and Elie when you need them?

 

shut up ainge.
go play with your dorky kids.

 

He can say Ming won't grab many rebounds.

why no shot block?
That is what Yao Ming good at. and most tall guy is born to be a good shot blocker.

 

He has Bostjan Nachbar at 23, and Jiri Welsch at 16? This guy is messed up.

 

Does Mr. Ainge know what he is talking about?

 

ainge is an idiot

 

if ainge doesnt think ming is a shot blocker, i would ask him to play one-on-one with him and see if his jumper gets close to the rim.

 

Yao Ming can speak English.

 

He has Tskitshivili going 13. Give me a break.

I sure hope that Dixon doesn't end up dropping into the late first round. If we can't use him on our team, then I sincerely hope the Spurs or the Lakers don't end up with him. That would be a nightmare.

 

You people can't stand to see someone talk negative about Ming even though alomost everybody but ya'll is doing it. Just because you fell for the hype doesn't mean everybody did. Ainge knows more about basketball then you can ever hope too.

 

I call B.S. on that!!!

We aren't into the hype. We trust our Coach Rudy T!!! Plus C.D. has been doing an excellent job scouting talent.


Make no mistake about it, Ming is already a Rocket!!!!!
