NBA Draft Thread

Teams are always looking for the next great big man so it is no surprise that Noel would be #1 even though he really didn't do much in his one year at Kentucky. He would have been #1 if he would have been allowed to go pro out of HS.
Greg Oden, Michael Olawakandi (sp?), Sam Bowie ... the list is long but distinguished.

 
The only problem is the Cavs need a post.
Not only that, they already have a great young backcourt with Kyrie and Dion Waiters.
Cavs are pretty set at the guard spot for a while with kyrie and waiters. What makes this pick interesting is that the Cavs have drafter Tyler Zeller and Tristan Thompson the last couple years. Also Varajeo was having by far his best year ever before he got injured. Will be interesting to see who goes #1 as Len is very comparable to Zeller with Zeller being more athletic by far. Noel may be the pick based on upside alone. Kid is very raw
The Cavs need a big man badly, but I think Otto Porter might be the best pick for them in this spot.... Noel, and Len don't impress enough to take #1....

 
Pelicans trade Noel and '14 protected 1st round pick to the Sixers for Jrue Holiday. The Pelicans also receive the 42nd overall pick in tonight's draft.

Pretty decent trade for the Pelicans.
