That's all from me. I'm not going to bother to do the second round because I know a lot of people don't care about it and I don't wanna watch it all to keep track and post it here.

Looks as if Charlotte was running on something of a theme in the first round at least.

[GoCubsAndJays]

Looks like Rob Babcock is a complete moron.

I'm stoked on the W's Diogu pick. He's not a 5, but he should be a good low post scorer, which the W's need big time.

Nate Robinson backing up Steve Nash is going to be scary. Robinson reminds me of a better-passing Earl Boykins.

Well, it may have been, except that he got traded to the Knicks

Hope he either takes over Stephon's job in a couple years (it usually takes college guards a year or two to learn the pro 1) or gets moved over to the 2, where he played a lot at the UW.

Very good outside shooter, very good passer, good defender in college but not a great man-on-man defender, good but not great athlete, scoring game largely limited to the jump shot, too skinny, reputed to have a great attitude and desire to get better.

All in all, could be anything from a role-playing shooter to a poor-man's Scottie Pippen.

[TonyJ]

No, he's a good defender. Just not a great one. He has the ability to become one.

Robinson seems to me like a more athletic Earl Boykins. High energy, hard-nosed defender, can score in bunches, but I don't know that he could be a relaiable starter, especially not at the 2 guard. He'll get eaten up down on the post.
