"Also on the Bobcats fan’s list of head-slapping expectations is Michael Jordan’s draft process: Step 1: Draft someone who played at Carolina. Step 2: If the Carolina guy is not there, draft someone who went to Duke? Step 3: No Duke guys? Draft someone who played in the ACC. Step 4: Shit. Uh. If that’s not an option, draft someone who played Carolina in the tournament? Step 5: If all that fails, just draft the guy who won some award the year before."

haha

6/28/2012 7:08:24 PM

Tough guys ITT

I used to fuck guys like you in the ass

6/28/2012 7:11:45 PM

Trade the 2nd pick for 4 and 24

Trade 4th pick for 6 and 11

Draft Barnes, Zeller and Henson

6/28/2012 7:12:01 PM

Marshall will feel so left out

6/28/2012 7:12:45 PM

Picks 4,24,33 for 2 and 31 is a no brainer if that offer is really on the table.

6/28/2012 7:27:06 PM

i think Andy Katz just said "bulging dicks" referring to Sullenger

6/28/2012 7:28:28 PM

lol just rewound, you right

6/28/2012 7:31:00 PM

also, search twitter for "andy katz" and everyone in the world is talking about it lol

6/28/2012 7:31:47 PM

LOL David Stern is so badass.

hahahahahahaha

6/28/2012 7:36:11 PM

I think we traded the pick and will draft beal with a trade being announced shortly after

6/28/2012 7:38:57 PM

6/28/2012 7:44:16 PM

Nice.

6/28/2012 7:44:32 PM

If Beal, was supposed to be a trade. If Robinson, was supposed to be no trade. If MKG...then what?

6/28/2012 7:45:16 PM

Could have gotten him at 4.

6/28/2012 7:45:44 PM

Ok now I hope we don't trade. Love the pick, wanted him all along

6/28/2012 7:45:54 PM

Wow, this guy can't put together a sentence.

6/28/2012 7:46:40 PM

Damn he's dumb.

6/28/2012 7:46:58 PM

Most disappointed 2 pick ever?

6/28/2012 7:47:03 PM

glad we didn't draft an 19 year old to be a professional public speaker, you guys act like he's Karl Malone or something

[Edited on June 28, 2012 at 7:48 PM. Reason : 19]

6/28/2012 7:47:47 PM

IT MEANS ALOT

ALOT

ALOT

6/28/2012 7:48:02 PM

Nah mkg was going #3 if beal went #2. We were getting Thomas Robinson if we traded. Mkg not as nba ready but he's going to be a stud

6/28/2012 7:49:06 PM

TreeTwista10 likes sticking up for the illiterate, ALOT.

6/28/2012 7:49:38 PM

seemed like he was legitimately shocked

or maybe he's just dumb

but if thats the worst post-draft interview you've heard, you haven't been watching the draft too long

6/28/2012 7:50:29 PM

If he went to UK, I'm sure he can read at at least a fourth grade level.

Good pick, though I think Beal will be a better pro.

6/28/2012 7:51:50 PM

^^
I've watched every year. No way there is one worse. Maybe a tie or something, but no worse. Especially from someone who speaks English.

i'm pretty sure whoever the bobcats drafted was going to be disappointed.

6/28/2012 7:52:42 PM

Hasn't it been well documented that Kidd-Gilchrist has a speech impediment? Thought there was a lot made of that at his pre-draft interviews.

6/28/2012 7:53:32 PM

I didnt think he was dumb, just seemed like he was at a loss for words. Either shocked or disappointed...

6/28/2012 7:53:45 PM

"Mkg not as nba ready but he's going to be a stud"

but your algorithm has him projected as a below average nba player

6/28/2012 7:54:05 PM

I wanted mkg at first but id talked myself into wanting Robinson. I'm not sure how I feel now...I'm just glad it wasn't Barnes.

6/28/2012 7:57:45 PM

just fyi

"07:52 PM: RUMOR: Source tells Marc J. Spears that Bobcats could still trade Michael Kidd-Gilchrist."

6/28/2012 7:58:31 PM

trading MKG and a 2nd round pick for harrison barnes.

buyers remorse.

Thomas Robinson already tied him

6/28/2012 8:03:14 PM

Ha, not even close.

6/28/2012 8:03:30 PM

yeah, his sister just topped him.

6/28/2012 8:04:04 PM

not even close? i know you bleed jayhawk blue, but come on

6/28/2012 8:04:53 PM

Thomas Robinson is actually a really good interview. He was just really emotional and it's hard to blame him for what he's gone through the last two years. MKG just isn't smart. But you don't need to be to be good.

6/28/2012 8:05:17 PM

Yeah there is a difference between not being able get the words out because you're emotionally overwhelmed/tearing up, and not having the intellect to form a sentence. Fuck an IQ though, kids a baller.

6/28/2012 8:07:23 PM

I like the Scottie Pippen comparison for MKG.

At least I hope he's comparable.

6/28/2012 8:11:50 PM

dude literally has a speech impediment and a documented stuttering problem

he might not have a 4.0 GPA, but his interview wasn't from him being dumb

6/28/2012 8:13:12 PM

Fine, I'll allow it.

6/28/2012 8:13:49 PM

Saps, the algorithm has him ranked 14th and the algorithm does not control for age. Mkg is 18 years old while many others ahead of him are 21-22.

Also there is a known flaw that guys on stacked teams grade slightly lower than they should , it had wall/rose ranked slightly too low along with a few others.

The algorithm isn't meant to say the #7 guy is definitively better than the #15, its meant to identify obvious busts like rivers, Barnes while identifying obvious sleepers like crowder, boozer, Lin, Danny green, faried, Leonard...

6/28/2012 9:34:54 PM

sounds like they need to fix that flaw, cause anybody who watches basketball knew D Rose would be a star

if he could shoot free throws in college he'd have an NCAA championship in his already-lengthy resume

algorithm had him as the 9th rated prospect in that draft class...him, Kevin Love and Russell Westbrook were clearly the top-3 players to come out that year

the algorithm said Tyrus Thomas was a better player than Rondo and Brandon Roy

the algorithm said Rashad McCants was a better player than David Lee

the algorithm said Delonte West was a better player than Kevin Martin

the algorithm said Mike Sweetney (who??) was a better player than Dwyane Wade

the algorithm said Todd MacCollugh was a better player than Ron Artest, Andre Miller, Rip Hamilton and Baron Davis

the algorithm said Tractor Traylor was a better player than Paul Pierce

the algorithm said Malik Rose was the best player in the draft class that included other players such as Ray Allen, Allen Iverson, Marcus Camby and Steve Nash

i could go on and on
