2013 NBA Draft Thread

Some of you guys act line Zeller us garbage.

Truth is he is probably the most complete all around big in the draft.

For those of you who didn't want offensive projects this is the guy.

Not as much upside as Noel or Len though but provably a safer pick.

TRY TO CONVINCE ME THAT ZELLER WAS THE RIGHT PICK. TRY TO TELL ME WHY HE'D BE THE NEXT PAU GASOL.

 

He won't be.  He's Brad Miller probably.  Hope I'm wrong.

[CarolinaNCSU]

Rumor that Noel is about to get dealt

[Keith Moons Liver]

I have a nasty feeling well take Zeller at 4....ugh. What's his max Brad Miller.

brad miller was a multiple time all-star. I would love to get a brad miller at #4 in this draft.

 

i'll say this: i don't think people would be questioning this pick if he were black. a highly productive, highly athletic 20 year old 7 footer who unlike his other big man counterparts actually can stay healthy enough to get on the court. People assume he's some shitty slow white boy. People were saying the same things about kevin love despite his excellent combine numbers as well.

So tell me what are the chances we get back in the draft??

He's not bad, and he's probably the most safe big, but McLemore can be an all-star.... we may regret this.

[MrBubba]

Anyone else surprised at no announced trades. Really thought we would see more wheeling and dealing

Noel to sixers.

Umm never mind

Also I never win the lottery

[CarolinaNCSU]

Wow....Jrue Holliday and a 1st rounder for Noel

[Password is Taco]

nerlens traded to the 76ers.

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

Does the response have to be in Caps Lock?!

[themikestrick]

Bye Bye Bynum

[Wanderlai]

Wouldn't trade 5/13 for CP3, drafted Ammo, passed on Lopez for DJ, took Cody at #4 with hopes he will be Brad Miller or David Lee. Idiots replaced by idiots making the picks.

[Zaximus]

Yeah Brad Miller wasn't bad.

 

They think that because most white guys that aren't shooters DO suck lol.  I'm not sure how that'll go here.  But you're right, there's Kevin Love, David Lee, Gasol, etc, it's not really true anymore.

He's more athletic then Gasol, Zeller is overly athletic and has the record for highest vertical ever. He's got speed similar to a small PF or big SF, he can run the floor really well. He's got range on a good jump shot and has the ability to play with his back to the basket. 

 

When he went up against Anthony Davis in 2011 in two games. He scored 31 points and 14 rebounds on 13 of 22 shooting "59%".

 

He's a better shooter then Davis and he's just as athletic but is actually a better jumper and faster then Davis.
