NBA Draft

[Mal Meninga]

Good luck to Bogut. Will be getting my Bucks "Bogut" jersey asap! The U of Utah has thrown out both the #1 picks for the NFL and NBA draft, that's simply amazing.

@Tidus Raider: Charlotte picked Felton and May, not May and McCants. Anyways the Lakers had a horrible draft as expected, for those interested here's Andrew Bynum's MySpace journal. What an intelligent young man he is...

Lakers draft was made a whole lot better then some other teams when they picked up Turiaf in the second round.

Heat made the steal of the draft getting Simien @ 29, and if you want to look at a horrible draft take a looky at the clippers will they ever do anything right?

I liked the Turiaf pick alot, on an NBA forum I go to I listed him as the #1 guy I wanted the team to take in the 2nd round. Although that was sort of cancelled out by the stupid Von Wafer or whatever he's called selection... considering guys like Roko Leni-Ukic and Andray Blatche were available.

Luke Schenscher gets his shot at an NBA roster on Thursday. He's playing in the Las Vegas Summer League with the Denver Nuggets. Bogut will be playing in the Minnesota league.

There were some strange picks though. Toronto picking Villanueva at 7 was wrong. Considering the players left.

A lot of people have said that. I'm giving Babcock the benefit of the doubt for now. They wanted a big man and knew Charlie V wouldn't last till thier #16 pick. And they knew they could get someone good like Joey Graham or Granger at 16. Plus the Raps got a steal, I hope, with Croatian pg Ukic in the 2nd round.

There's also a lot of talk about the Raps getting Toronto native Jamaal Magliore, who wants to come home. He would really solidify the team.

Luke Schenscher had 10min for Denver today, he scored 2 (1-2) and had 2 rebounds and a turnover in their win.

Also had like 5 fouls.

He's been in foul trouble in every game so far, but it does look like he's improving. Also there might be another good sign with this snippet:

"Nuggets center Luke Schenscher has scrapped plans to join San Antonio's summer league team in Salt Lake City this week, and instead will stay with Denver in Las Vegas."
