A few surprises with the draft. I thought that Portland would keep Brandon Rush. I dont even know what the heck Memphis is doing. They got Mayo and had to take on the horrible contracts of Antoine Walker and Marko Jaric. Plus they trade Love and Mike Miller???

Memphis is doomed for another losing season, no doubt.

I was surprised to see Arthur fall so low in the draft.

Shows u that this years' rookie batch is really weak.

Glad to see Alexander at #8!
I was hoping Knicks woulda picked him up at 6, cause then he mighta been on TV more in my area.

I am worried this may be the case. People are hyping it like they did last year's, but I don't see either class being that much better than the overly maligned 2006 class. At any rate, the sheer number of freshmen suggests that this class at the very least will not have too many immediate contributors.

I totally agree and glad my team was picking way down...there are of course some real nice players in every draft but this year was pretty bad overall if you ask me...
