2011 NBA Draft Thread

I dunno that this thread needed to be made yet, but I figured it might be relevant since the top prospects are playing right now. Specifically I wanted to begin the discussion with Derrek Williams. Anyone see him dominate tonight? He looks like he should be the top pick in the draft. He hit the three, he showed great athleticism, he has an outstanding wingspan and length. thoughts?

If the Warriors could get that senior from Florida I think they'll be ok. Tyus?

Hope the Warriors luck in the 1st pick and end up with Kyrie Irving, that's the only superstar in this draft.

Just the fact that Chad Ford doesn't like Irving guarantees that he will be a perennial All-Star

did you see Williams tonight? he looked like a man child

he completely took over and dominated the game against one of the best teams in the country.

He might go #1, but I'd still rather have Irving.

Mostly because I'm biased against SF/PF teweeners.

Williams reminds me of Beasley.
