NBA Draft 2005

Interesting Draft

I like the Bobcat’s picks a lot. Anytime you can team together one of the most dominant big men (Sean May) last year in the NCAA with the point guard (Raymond Felton) that also lead you to a National Championship from the same state that your 2 year old franchise who just moved into a new arena can be done… You do it. They are going to improve quickly.

I’m okay with the Lakers picks. I don’t know much about Bynum. I just know he is young and could have lots of talent. I sure hope he does. I just didnt think they’d him with all the talent that was available at the time. However, they needed a PG or a C and there weren’t any decent point guards available. The guys I wanted Warrick, Jack, Garcia, Hodges, Green, weren’t projected as high as pick 10 plus they already have a lot of players like that. Except for Jarrent Jack who was drafted by Denver but then dealt to Portland for the rights to two later picks.

Charlie Villanueva is a thug and I can’t believe he went that high.

I was hoping Hakim Warrick wouldn’t go to a crappy team or at least one of the teams that I could semi-root for. I’m just going to hope he gets traded soon which probably won’t happen. At that point I was hoping that he would slip 1 more spot to play with Melo but oh well..

I am interested to see how well these Point Guards do. Deron Williams, Chris Paul, and Felton. How well Marvin Williams will live up to the hype? How many of these players will even make an impact at all?

Bynum is rocking cold pizza as we speak. His favorite subject in high school was Physics.

Ho-Hum

sounds like

1. Adruw Bogut, Bucks
2. Marvin Williams, Hawks
3. Deron Williams, Jazz (traded for pick earlier today)

Lakers pick tenth. Personally i think they need to trade up and either get Deron Williams, Chris Paul, or Raymond Felton. We’ll see.

I’m interested to see who the Charlotte Bobcats take at #5 and #13 and where all the Tar Heels fall to.

hoe-hum after the lottery..

whoever drafts HAKIM WARRICK is getting a serious PLAYER

and after that whatever…

Syracuse’s Warrick named Big East player of the year

NEW YORK (AP) — Hakim Warrick, the second-leading scorer and fourth-leading rebounder in the Big East this season, was selected the conference player of the year on Tuesday.

The 6-foot-8 senior forward, a preseason All-America, was chosen in a vote of the league’s coaches.

Al Skinner, who led Boston College to a share of the regular-season title with Connecticut in the Eagles’ last season in the Big East, was chosen the coach of the year.

Warrick led the Orange, who finished third in the league, with averages of 22.1 points and 7.6 rebounds. One of the country’s best dunkers, he is shooting 55.3 percent from the field and has scored in double figures in 57 straight games.

He is the third Syracuse player to win the honor, joining Derrick Coleman in 1990 and Billy Owens in 1991.

It is the second time Skinner has been chosen coach of the year. The other was in 2000-01 when the Eagles also went 13-3 in the league. Boston College, a charter member of the Big East, leaves for the Atlantic Coast Conference next season.

Sophomore Josh Boone of Connecticut was chosen the defensive player of the year, the third straight season a Husky won the award. Emeka Okafor was the defensive player of the year the last two seasons.

Rudy Gay of Connecticut and Jeff Green of Georgetown were chosen co-rookies of the year, while Jared Dudley of Boston College and Marcus Williams of Connecticut shared Most Improved Player honors.

Senior Josh Pace of Syracuse won the Sportsmanship Award.

700 wins

Coach Jim Boeheim secured his 700th win on senior day as Syracuse beat Providence 91-66. Hakim Warrick, Josh Pace, and Craig Forth were honored as they played their last game in front of 30,000+ Carrier Dome fans. Warrick scored a career high 36 points to lead the ‘Cuse to victory.

Boeheim became the 18th Division I coach to record 700 career victories and the fifth fastest, trailing only Adolph Rupp, Jerry Tarkanian, Dean Smith and Phog Allen.

Hakim Warrick coming back to SU

Posted by on 4/29/2004 No comments

It’s always been his dream to play in the NBA, but Orangemen star Hakim Warrick says he’s staying at SU for one more year.

Warrick announced his decision Thursday afternoon at Manley Field House. He says Coach Boeheim and his mother helped him make the decision to stay and that he looks forward to finsihing out his career at SU and helping his team win a Championship next season.

Warrick wants to polish his perimeter skills, which remain a work in progress. He has played primarily as a power forward and only occasionally has been able to move to the wing. He did not make a 3-point shot in either of the past two seasons, having attempted only seven.

“This is the best decision for me — just being able to have one more year, graduate, have a chance to win another national championship,” Warrick said. “There aren’t too many people that have two national championships, and that’s definitely something I wanted.”

A second-team All-America selection by Sporting News, Warrick averaged 19.8 points and 8.5 rebounds as a junior. The Orangemen finished the season 23-8 with a loss to Alabama in the NCAA tournament Sweet 16, one year after claiming the school’s first national championship. Warrick’s biggest moment as a Syracuse player remains his block of a 3-point attempt by Kansas guard Michael Lee, a rejection that preserved SU’s victory.

Syracuse wins again!
