1985 DRAFT IN REVIEW
The first lottery proved to be one of the best, with three future members of the original Dream Team (Patrick Ewing, Chris Mullin, Karl Malone), quality All-Stars like Joe Dumars, championship role players like A.C. Green and Mario Elie, great durability (eight players with 1,000-plus career games) and the duo of Jon Koncak and Joe Kleine, the apparent inspiration for the movie "White Men Can't Jump." GRADE: A

At Rubio falling.
Damn Rubio probably salty as hell right now. Minnesota here comes Rubio. Evans as the best PG 3 years from nowHe's not really a PG he just happens to be a ball dominant 2-Guard who needs to improve his jumper.
Basicallly...... da hell was Stuart smokin saying some crazy shit like that.
I'm wondering how he's gonna fit in with Kevin Martin, and are they givin up on Udrih that fast?
he'll go they don't play that in the nba
i dont get the kings pick...they traded for sergio rodriguez at pg...why draft evans who is a pg?
damn wolves got 4 first round picks?
i bet they pick some shitty players
im just sitting here ready to shit on the stupid move the Knicks will make.

NFL has more players and positions to review but I agree

he'll play for twolves for 3 yrs then bounce
I think rubio will be a good player *shrugs*
Rubio to Minny.
he is a solid NBA backup PG. if Ty sputters they got insurance
1986 DRAFT IN REVIEW
Four of the top seven picks developed drug problems, the best player in the draft (Brad Daugherty) saw his career end at age 28 with back problems, and memorable flops like Kenny "Sky" Walker and Brad Sellers punctuated the list. The lone bright spot belonged to Cleveland, which picked three solid players in Daugherty, Ron Harper and Mark Price. GRADE: D-plus
How They Did It Then How They'd Do It Now
1. Brad Daugherty, North Carolina (Cavs) 1. Jeff Hornacek, Iowa State (46th, Suns)
2. Len Bias, Maryland (Celtics) 2. Dennis Rodman, SE Oklahoma St. (27th, Pistons)
3. Chris Washburn, N.C. State (Warriors) 3. Brad Daugherty
4. Chuck Person, Auburn (Pacers) 4. Ron Harper
5. Kenny Walker, Kentucky (Knicks) 5. Mark Price, Georgia Tech (25th, Cavs)
6. William Bedford, Memphis (Suns) 6. Nate McMillan, N.C. State (30th, Sonics)
7. Roy Tarpley, Michigan (Mavs) 7. Arvydas Sabonis, Lithuania (24th, Blazers)
8. Ron Harper, Miami U. (Cavs) 8. Chuck Person
9. Brad Sellers, Ohio State (Bulls) 9. Dell Curry, Virginia Tech (15th, Jazz)
10. Johnny Dawkins, Duke (Spurs) 10. John Salley, Georgia Tech (11th, Pistons)
Best pick: Jeff Hornacek, Suns (46th).
Worst pick: Many to choose from.

i think teams picking European players early in the draft is the equivalent of teams picking American high schoolers early in the draft.
Who have they really played against?
With the exception of People like Kobe, KG, Lebron.
its just to much of a gamble.
who is this rubio nigga?
looks like Ben Stillers son from meet the fookers.

2 potential problems with Minnesota taking Rubio:1)Taking a defensive liability at PG when you have no shot blockers on your team could be an issue. 2)Wonder if he gets pissed when Love and those outlet and inbound passes of his take away from Rubio's assist total.
And he goes from dealing with Spanish girls to the hot women of Minnesota.

3 way tie for worst on this draft is Chris Washburn, Brad Sellers, and William Bedford.
i highly doubt it
