I think the 1st pick SHOULD be Tyrus Thomas, BUT for some reason people see something with Adam Morrision, which I for sure dont. He played no competition, i can guarntee none of you without looking it up could name the conference they played in. They didnt beat a ranked team all year, well unless if you count Michigan State, and Maryland which were both preseaon ranks, and we all know how those teams turned out. The guy is not athletic period, he cant play defense, and is way to stiff, and trust me i watched most of their games, and in half of their conference games they could only pull away in the end. That is why Gonzaga hasnt been past the first round in years, they are a team that thinks they are a powerhouse, but are far from it. It's pretty ****ty when only 2 other teams in your conference had a winning record, and them being San Diego and St. Mary's dosnt help either.

Also I see the center from Bradley, Patrick O'Bryant will be one of the better ones to come out of the draft. I could see him being something like Tim Duncan or maybe Kevin Garnett, he has really good size, and long arms. He would be a very good center on most any team.

Oh yeah, and that Italian guy, im not even going to say anything about that. Every year they seem to just throw in some random European name, and try to tell us he's good. All I have to say is Darko.

Edit: I voted for Aldridge, but meant Thomas.

The Raptors get the first pick and they need some guard help because they have enough big guys. Keeping that in mind, that will clear Thomas out of the #1. Therefore, it will fall to the guards. In my opinion, it will go to either J.J, Rudy, or even Randy Foye. I can see Foye being a good fit with the Raptors for his tenacious defense, dribbling skills, and shooting skills, especially when driving to the basket.

ESPN thinks it will be Bargnani, but I don't really know. I hope it's not Thomas, because the Bulls will gobble him up if he falls to #2. As far as O'Bryant goes, he will be a fantastic player. He is still early in his development. He has great offensive potential. He'll be a star in the NBA for a long time, as long as he stays healthy.

Well I like that nice surge of votes for the bargnani, and i would like to congratulate them on a horrible pick. The guy is never going to average more then 10 points.

Have any of you ever heard of these people

Fran V?zquez

Yaroslav Korolev

Johan Petro

Linas Kleiza

Ian Mahinmi

Yeah, all first round picks from last year.

2nd round even more of a joke

They really need to be reminded what happens when these unproven European centers go up against proven NBA players.

Yes, that man being dunked on was the 15th pick in the 1999 draft by the none other then the New York Knicks.

Do i need to say more.

I don't know, I'll never forget Trannon's dunk for Michigan State (I can't remember who he dunked over). He practically took 1 step after half court and flew and just 2 handed it down.

Anyway, as poor as you may think the Bargnani pick is, at least they're not the NY Knicks.

    • Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug

      Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update

      Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
