I think DJ could end up being a GREAT pick for DET. The dude can score in the post, what frontcourt player outside of Shed can give you that on this team?

Could end up being a waste, but could have good upside for the 29th pick.

I'm torn, thanks to the scoring ability... but for the most part I'm frustrated with the choice of an undersized big.

I've wanted the same guy for the past 4 months. Everybody said, "No way he lasts to 29". I'm sitting here very excited that Memphis just passed on CDR and then we select DJ White, an undersized PF.

Hold on, DJ White traded?

DJ traded for two second rounders, guess all your *****ing payed off.

You think YOU'RE pissed? I've wanted Bill Walker since early March and now he's a ****ing Celtic.

Great. We got nobody who is going to touch the court.

I was wondering if by trading DJ White for Sharpe and Plaisted, maybe Joe Dumars is just trying to keep his doors open in terms of trades. This way, by moving out of the first round, he doesn't have to commit to either if it will get in the way of a trade.

I'm not sure what the exact rule says for turning around and trading rookies, or when it comes into effect, but that could be another thing as well, perhaps this way he can then gauge what a potential suitor would prefer (Sharpe, Plaisted, neither, both) in a package and then sign that one, only to be traded.

In other words, I have no idea.

I think Plaisted and Alexander are playing overseas this year, which clears up the problem of finding a roster spot.

I have no problem with passing on CDR, Bill Walker, and with trading DJ White. White was redundant with Maxiell, Walker's knee problems can only be described as chronic, and I can't figure out what Chris Douglas-Roberts is supposed to be good at in the NBA.

I'm actually coming around to Walter Sharpe. It's a gamble, but I never expected to get anything usefull from this draft in the first place. Everybodies going to have to watch themselves with simple phrases like "he fell asleep on defense" though.

Plaisted should be semi-entertaining to watch run with Amir....
