Where's 'Zar Headed? Your NBA Draft Open Thread.

PrintThe Association Draft starts in a couple hours, but we likely won't know where Marquette's Lazar Hayward will end up until 8 or 9 p.m. To bide our time until then, here's what a bunch of people who know such things think about 'Zar's prospects:
Chad Ford continues to underrate Lazar, pegging him at No. 53 to the Atlanta Hawks.
NBADraft.net has the Pistons taking Hayward at No. 36.
NBA Soup sees 'Zar in New York next year, with the Knicks picking him at No. 38. They write:
... it’s the second round, and Hayward is too good to keep falling. His slide stops here.
Draftology.net has your hometown Bucks snagging Hayward at No. 44.
The Mixtape Monster lists 'Zar as one of it's (I think a monster is an "it," anyway) "Monster Sleepers." Sources tell me this is much better than being a "Mega Sleeper" or even a "Super Sleeper," but it's one step below the "Sleepwalking Sleeper."
There are three of us who've made predictions about where 'Zar will land:
- Mr. Kensington says 49, to the Spurs.
- Zach says Phoenix at 46.
- Rubie says 50 to Dallas.
There's a two-liter of your choice at stake here, people. Just pick a number. It's not that hard.
Good luck and God speed, Lazar.

No way the Pistons take him
They have their quota of undersized power forwards in Maxiell and way too many wing players in Daye, Jerebko, Prince and DaJuan Summers. They need bigs (6’10" and up) in the worst way.
But if they do take him, you’ll get an angry rant from me in this space tomorrow morning. Guaranteed.
My two favorite teams are the Tigers and Brewers. Drunk tigers. That sounds about right.

That's good
Because watching the draft and drinking alone is just plain sad.

It’s what Trevon Hughes is doing right now. So, you’ve got that going for you.

Don't be.
He’ll eat his way out of the league in three years.
Also: doughy.

Joe Dumars does a pretty good job keeping egos/headcases in check
He did it well with Rasheed Wallace. I think he could have done the same with Cousins.

They wouldn't have won the championship in 2004 without him
But this team isn’t as close as that team was.

Besides 'Zar
What are we looking for? The Bucks’ pick? Worst suits? David Stern mocking?

Monroe is a great pick.
That’s gotta make you happy, Zach.

I'm not as upset as other Piston fans
I would have liked a true post player, since we have a stretch four in Charlie Villanueva.

If I had thought about it, I would have picked up a nice six-pack before the draft tonight.
But as it is, I was stuck with what was left in the fridge.

So I have to say, I'm disappointed in the lack of moves thus far
I was hoping to see more deals, but that’s always wishful thinking.

This thread is packed tonight
"This one means 'Kill Kirk!!!!'... And also, 'hallelujah'... Depending on the context."
I'm sure it will pick up as we hit the second round.

Yep, look at that.
Proposed trade to Minnesota.
Well, he’d be close to home. I’d go see ’Zar in the Cities.

That means guaranteed money, right?

Although I'm sure you're a little sad you don't get an angry rant from me about Detroit taking him.

No, I don't mind the pick
My biggest gripe is needed a true center, and I don’t think that is Monroe. Ben Wallace won’t be around forever.

A 300 lb. dude named Tiny.
Yeah, he’ll fit in well in Milwaukee.
MUST IMPROVE: Conditioning.
Yeah, he’ll REALLY fit in well in Milwaukee.

Hmm...
This was really more of a dialouge than an open thread. Sorry, I was at Summerfest. Big up to Lazar though. I had a suspicion that he might shock us all and end up in the 1st round, but I didn’t have balls to call it. I’m such a pussy.
