i'm hoping that Jarret Jack somehow slides down to the Heat...i'll be happy with Matt Walsh as well..

HacheMan · Jun 28, 2005

Utah Jazz has already traded 3 First Round Pick to Portland for the 3rd overall pick in which they are looking for a point guard....

Matt Walsh could make a splash in the NBA.......

Hmmmm, no idea........lol

Not everyone remembers, but Horry was a very athletic guy coming out of college, and that's the main reason he was drafted....................NOT for his premier clutch 3-point shooting!:movingeye

LOL

In fact, that dunk he made late in the game vs Detroit that everyone was raving over used to be a normal thing for him in his early days.....

Journeyman · Jun 28, 2005

That was a spectacular play Hache...How much does Horry have left, 3-4 more rings I figure,lol.

HacheMan · Jun 28, 2005

Odds on Utah Center Andrew Bogut becoming a bust?!>?

Illini · Jun 28, 2005

You guys really think Matt Walsh is gonna do anything in the league? That comment surprised me. I don't think he's gonna do anything, but I've been wrong before. This draft is all about Deron Williams, baby!!!

Looks like they'll take Deron Williams, given that Chris Paul didn't even work out with them.

Milwaukee rolls the dice on Bogut........

HacheMan · Jun 28, 2005

I agree. I think Walsh is slower, shorter, and weaker than Mike Miller. But he would fit in well in South Beach.

Illini · Jun 28, 2005

DERON! DERON! DERON!

arty: Congrats, buddy, we are gonna miss you, but we'll never forget.

Walsh is soft as a marshmellow. Deron is playing point guard in the NBA?

go2, Deron played PG at Illinois. He also is the only player ever to lead the Big 10 assists for each of his first 3 seasons, that includes Magic Johnson. He's a natural point guard. Closest comparison is probably Jason Kidd, though I'm not saying he's the next J Kidd.

Jerry Sloan is going to love Deron Williams.

I know he played PG in college but that's college. Besides Dee Brown was the true PG of the team. He made all of them look good IMO. BTW Charlie V. at the 7th pick????
