5. Sacramento Kings: Kansas forward - Thomas Robinson

yeyah, that's my boy. t-robb gonna smash it, cant wait for him to get out there. looking forward to following his career

 

[inpherus]

New Orleans seem like they are going to be a great force in the coming years, very lucky to get anthony davis ASWELL as austin rivers, no doubt they are going to be the foundations to NOH, whatever happens they will be doing well in the future.

Another great asset is Bradley beal by the wizards, the wizards have really turned themselves around and are making themselves true contenders for the playoffs. I love their starting lineup they are going to have:
John wall, bradley beal, trevor ariza, nene and emeka okafor. Probably the team i'm looking forward to playing with in 2k13.

- New york knicks pick 48th for kostas papnikolaou, was so hillarious, so many NYK fans anticipating this pick and they get some random euro guy, was a great laugh!

hilarious, place was filled like 50% with Knick/Net fans who didn't recognize the bottom half of the second round. they had the funniest look on their faces.

I loved watching Robinson playing at Kansas, he was the only player in the draft besides Davis I personally felt was going to be great in the NBA. I was surprised seeing him fall to 5 behind Waiters but I guess the Cavs got their guard.

 

[JohnK]

the cavs #4 pick was weird as hell man. they bypass players like harrison barnes for a college bench player...?

Perry Jones III is going to be the steal of the draft
Darius Johnson-Odom slipping to #55 was a bit shocking to me too

 

[kmjt]

Haven't really been following any of the draft discussion. I'm just glad the Raptors are going for athleticism over players like Bargnani. Would have been cool to see Austin Rivers as a Raptor.

 

[McKinnonj]

My boy T. Rob got drafted! After everything he's been through in his college years, he deserves this.

For Kentucky, that's amazing to have 6 in one draft. Record breaker I'm pretty sure.

 

OKC probably got the best steal with Perry Jones III. The athleticism on the Thunder is going to be ridiculous.

Barnes will be great and they'll regret it, but maybe Waiters will work out.
PJIII was absolutely the steal of the draft.

This is just a fans assumption, Rivers will disappoint to an extent he wants to be the last shot superstar but unless he continues to improve as much as he already did then I see him a nice 6th. I'd pick Marshall over him.

I believe the Warriors got a great steal with Draymond Green at #35. I understand his size but so does he and he understands his limitations, he is a tremendously hard worker and I see him developing into a great player.

 

[I Bleed Duke Blue]

You can tell I'm a Duke fan...(look at name duh)

But...Austin Rivers will blow in the NBA.

 

[Nachtigal23]

austin rivers is going to be about average maybe less not more hes to small and can't drive over nba centers

 

[I Bleed Duke Blue]

He is a ball-hog , which may fit the NBA better than College hoops..but he still won't be anything special.

 

[Talentedd]

I would love to see Austin Rivers succeed in the pros. I think he will be amazing
