Draft Time '07!

by Seth on Jun 28, 2007 5:42 PM EDT in Draft Things

It's NBA Christmas, kids, and the presents start opening at 7 p.m. Let's go over a few things quickly.

-I won't exactly be "live-blogging" the draft, but I will do some notes and put them up afterwards, much like a regular game.

-I'm participating in a live mock draft at TrueHoop. Basically, when the Knicks are on the clock, I make a selection. When they make their real-life pick, I write a quick reaction. Should be fun.

-Here's a quick last-minute look around the mocks to see who the Knicks might be taking:

NBADraft.net: Wilson Chandler
HoopsHype: Daequan Cook
Inside Hoops: Wilson Chandler
Draft Express: Wilson Chandler
Sports Illustrated: Daequan Cook
Fox Sports: Marco Belinelli
About.com: Morris Almond
College Hoops Net: Wilson Chandler

That's just a sample of the scores of mock drafts out there. With Isiah Thomas making the pick, it's anyone's guess. I'd put money on the selection being someone never mentioned in connection to the Knicks.

Anyway, this is your official draft thread. Comment along the way, and I'll be here to do the same. Enjoy NBA Christmas!

UPDATE: Since I'm tragically uninformed and chronically indecisive, use this thread to name the guys you'd like to see picked at 23, for my use in the TrueHoop draft. Posting and Toasting needs you.

I'm in love with Chong Williams

If he ends up a Knick, I will be so happy. I can't watch the first hour of the draft. How sweet is that.
Its weird that for all the Posting and Toasting hype, neither him nor Mo Nuts is listed. I hope Zeke proves them wrong, because those are the two players I want the most. I'll be happy with whoever, and this time, if he drafts some crazy Balkman-esque fucker I've never heard of, I won't get angry.

Two words:

Aaron Brooks.

Oddly enough, I'm hearing thunder too even though I live in Virginia.

Why!?

Why would any professional sports franchise associate with someone named Aaron Brooks?

I'm too obsessive-compulsive about the Knicks to have a guy with that name around. I don't want Marcus Williams for similar reasons.

Your GM is Isiah Thomas

That's why.

At least the basketball version knows which way to pass the ball.

how 'bout

Arron Aflallo, just to shock every- and anyone? ;)

Alternatively... let's see Mo Nuts or Wilson Chandler (another of those butler-esque names... reminds me of that movie with Tom Hanks stranded on an island though...)

Other names, to throw around:
Belinelli
Taurean Green
Tiago Splitter
