Well wasn't last night a nice surprise. I think Danny is probably a very happy man right now given who we picked up in the draft. I mean we were almost able to pick up the laptop thief. But when Mark Price's number rolled around, we had a very nice selection of Guards to choose from. In fact, when our second round pick came, we also had a nice selection of players. Man that was a weird draft.
So now we have a Big Ten athlete and a Texas baller. It's funny that we still had to focus on guards given we spent so much freakin money on Damon and Donyell. But either way we have some solid guards that we can groom for our future. Man..they have to be pumped to play with LeBron. That's just a rediculous opportunity.
So even ESPN (insider) was giving us some love as we got graded an A. Check out their comments:
Round 1: Shannon Brown, SG, Michigan State (No. 25 overall)
Round 2: Daniel Gibson, PG, Texas (No. 42)
Ejike Ugboaja, F, Nigeria (No. 55)
Analysis: When you pick late in the first round, you're usually looking for someone who has a chance to be a rotation player.
When you pick in the second, you're looking for someone with a pulse.
I think the Cavs exceeded expectations with both picks.
Brown is going to be a dynamite player and a real steal at No. 26. He has the strength and athleticism of a lottery pick. He's a little undersized, but I think he'll be a great sparkplug for the Cavs.
I also like the Gibson pick in Round 2. As a point guard, Gibson is a so-so prospect. But as a scoring two, he could be a Ben Gordon type player.
Grade: A
sup now..alright well a solid draft and now we wait for the King on July 1. 2 more days..
