NBA: *** Official NBA Draft Thread ***

[Acylum]

Great day for Prohm overall.

Very happy Shayok. "Moves to Iowa State and blossomed as a scorer".

More Cyclones drafted. This is always a good thing.

 

[cyclonedave25]

Shayok getting drafted really builds a lot of credibility for Prohm on the transfer recruiting trail too. No way Shayok gets drafted if he stays at UVA.

 

[ForbinsAscynt]

Way to go Shayok! ISU has done well in the draft once again.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Damn so happy for Shayok to get drafted! Also to a team that is going to be looking to fill cheap spots if they realtain who they want to retain.

Gonna be awesome watching all these Cyclones in the NBA next year. Also going to have to catch more summer league this year.

It doesn't seem like King James has a lot of patience for youngsters. But at least LA needs a lot of bodies. Good luck, THT (but, dang, can we get some Clones playing on the East Coast? I can't stay up for the Jazz, Lakers and Nuggets)

And just like that, Shayok gets drafted to play an hour from my house ... Congrats to Marial; he's worked his tail off to put himself in a position to play in the NBA.

Tyrus McGee making sportcenter highlights!

 

[I-stateTheTruth]

Let's tally some totals by school: ISU - 2 drafted. Belmont - 1 drafted. Hofstra - 1 drafted. Yale - 1 drafted. Kansas - none drafted (at least those guys have some Adidas walking-around money).

Damn good night for ISU. I remember watching the draft the year Diante graduated and thinking it could be years before seeing a Cyclone drafted. Now it’s 5 players in 4 years.

 

[CloneGuy8]

So Prohm shouldn’t promote his former player playing in LA with the second best player ever that just so happens to be a lot of young guys’ idol?

Maybe he thinks the Fran method is better?

"Hey kid, come play for me and you might make it in Serbia"

Summer league should be good.

 

[HFCS]

I know I've got a dozen posts on here saying Shayok could or would be drafted going way back. Somebody look them up for me

 

[HFCS]

I just don’t see how Bol Bol can defend in today’s NBA. I wouldn’t take anything more than a late second round flyer on him, which seems to be what most GMs think too

I watched him play against Iowa and on a several plays Kriener was taking advantage of him. Not Cook, Kriener. We're talking about Kriener here. Kriener. (insert Iverson impression)

 

[HFCS]

Summer league should be good.

I wonder who all will be playing?

Shayok, THT and Wigginton for sure. I bet OKC still works Deonte out on their squad. I wonder if Lard finds his way to a summer league team somehow or if any of our guys in Europe play.

Guessing the Jazz know what they have in Naz by this point after two years but maybe they want to compare him against some new players. Moving Allen can't hurt because they had similar roles with Naz right behind him last season.

Yeah, but hard to beat as a guy drafted in the 40s to a solid roster.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Great landing spot for THT. From what I've heard on the radio, the Lakers are going to have to fill out their roster with lower priced players, and that should give him a nice chance. Awesome that Marial went too!
