the official 2006 NBA draft thread

Here i found an updated NBA draft about some great young players : http://www.hoopsvibe.com/nba/nba_dra...t-ar22954.html

#3 is a 7 foot tall center named Andrea. Should be pretty tough. Although, if you could find a 6'11" power forward named Jennifer...

Ali Traore... I really hope we try to move up and snag this guy in the middle of the 2nd round. He's gonna be a big time sleeper in this draft. 6-9 to 6-10 240lb PF/C with an array of post moves and a great hook-shot. Leave him overseas for a year or 2 to develop further, and bring him over when he's needed.

I thought we had two second round picks this year??
What happened? According to nbadraft.net we only have one.

The second pick was for Ronald Dupree (from the Timberwolves). That pick is slated to come to us sometime between 2006~2008. Why? I dunno.

Just to stir the pot, here's a Ty Thomas interview from Draftexpress.com that really makes the guy look like a jerk. Too bad the interview wasn't with Draftexpress's #1 guy, Jonathan Givony, because he would have told Thomas off royally instead of wimping out.

Check out this article about Fesenko, the Ukrainian center Detroit was allegedly trying to hide so they could get him with the 60th pick. He worked out with the Bucks and showed a lot of Memo and Darko style goofiness, though I liked how he won the 2-on-2 game.

Joe must draft this guy. MUST.

Agreed. If we get this guy off the bench that would be great. As we can see he's VERY coachable.

On a serious note, if I'm Milwaukee I downgrade the other three guys in the workout because they weren't quick enough mentally or competitively to chase after Fesenko when he inbounded to himself. It's not like that play has never been used before.
