2008 Draft

[Rasho Brezec]

Wow, Nets and Blazers got away with biggest steals of this draft.

[Rich Rane]

wow this makes up for that 21 pick

No it doesn't, but I'm still happy with this pick.

Wow, Nets and Blazers got away with biggest steals of this draft.

We also reached big time with ryan anderson so I'll say that even things up...

[NetsForce]

Yeah Ryan Anderson WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

CDR at 40 like everyone has said is solid though...

[GrizzledGrizzFan]

You're going to love CDR. Tough as nails and he's a winner. Not a cliche - the kid's a competitor and a winner. Grats on a grabbing two guys that other GM's missed out on. Their mistakes is your A+ draft.

FWIW Anderson received his marks from the Grizz staff in his workout here. He was a name that was in play for the Grizz at 28.

[VCRJKidd15]

damn CDR i love those initials

[Palmeirense]

YEAH baby.

But we still need a shooter,DR is more of a slasher than a shooter.

[Preludepunk27]

Man I'm pumped as all hell for CDR and Lopez. I think we blew a pick on Anderson though. Kidney problem or not, I would have taken Arthur there.

[harrisfan81]

this is awsome, love every pick if we could some how trade back into the draft and grab foster from vandy then id cry lol it be the perfect draft

I preferred other guys at 21 but Anderson is definitely a guy that can play a role in the NBA and that is one thing you look for. He looks to be a very good shooter and team player. Not a lot of upside but an acceptable pick IMO.

CDR is a great great pick. Pre-draft I called him a steal in the 20's. Getting him at 40 is a coup.

[jerseyjac]

Good pick. I like Bayless more but we have no room for him since PG is the one spot where we are set and he can' guard SGs.

I agree 100%...you like him more, but I think you go for size here w/ Brook on the board...dont turn this into a Wright-Granger situation...because it definitely is nowhere near it...

[jerseyjac]

Man I'm pumped as all hell for CDR and Lopez. I think we blew a pick on Anderson though. Kidney problem or not, I would have taken Arthur there.

me too...I was kind of shocked...we'll see....he's a Net now and I'm backing this kid...nbadraft.net had him going 26 to SA in their mock...

Raps fan here. You guys pwnd at #10 and #40 (so **** pissed you guys grabbed CDR one spot ahead of us!). Look at it this way - Toronto & Boston are 8 guaranteed games a year where you're going to have to go through a big front line, you'll need to get scoring out of the post.

Hopefully all 3 of us can beat up on the Knicks smallball type lineups

Not sure about the kid out of Cal, he gives me ugly flashbacks to Michael Bradley (big unathletic white kid who can stroke it from the college 3pt line ..... how will it translate)

If you guys could've had Milly's #8 instead of Yi it'd be an A+ day, but obv. Milly's new regime wanted Yi gone and J.Alexander totally seems like a Skiles type of player.
