The Quest for Tony's Eyebrows: the 2012 NBA Draft

friendly 7ft brazilian whos barely played basketball in his life

KG has a clause in his new contract that for 7 minutes a game he gets to pretend he's not playing center.

lol @ windhorst covering the cavs again

i wonder if that's like when you see high school friends

reading this article i learned that the cavs love advanced stats

ay m bison:

Analysis: I really like this pick for the Spurs. Denmon is the sort of efficient combo guard who could thrive in the Spurs' system. He shoots it well, defends and can even play the point in a pinch. I'm not expecting huge things from him, but could see him as a rotation player in San Antonio down the road.

that's chad ford

@cavsdan
I am very excited about our two picks. @dionwaiters3 and @zellertyler are going to be two great additions to the @cavs and our bright future

imho zeller will be solid for a long time, like ya hes not a star but 7ftrs who can actually like play basketball and move around good dont grow on trees

xp, cool sounds like a good replacement for gary neal if he's gone this offseason

yeah that was my exact thought

@cavsdan
thanks @lag∞n for the kind words on @ilh

ha

lol

andre drummond seems like a nice guy

Eh, they're all scumbags afaic.

was fab melo the only 7 footer left at 22 or what because ummm

im all in on sullinger though, if jared dudley could actually get in shape he can do it and i imagine every day will start with a phone call from kg

AY SULLY WHAT'S GOOD HOWS YA BACK, YOU LIFTING SOME WEIGHTS? COME RUN ON THE BEACH WITH ME POTNA

the sullinger pick has upside for sure

Was drifting around in old threads and found this gem from June 2012, quoted upthread. Jordan posted a long draft pick analysis by some guy called Draft Rater:

"In the tail end of the first round and throughout the second, we're sorting through several big men with fairly weak Draft Rater résumés. The Rater is a particularly harsh judge at the center position, where it frowns on the prospects of four centers with first-round aspirations -- Tyler Zeller, Meyers Leonard, Fab Melo and Festus Ezeli -- and flat-out mocks Miles Plumlee, who is off-the-charts bad with a 2.49 Draft Rater projection."
