Exactly. Can't Cyclone fans just be disappointed that their guys didn't get drafted, whether expected or not? Good thing all these NBA experts popped on this morning to tell us about what was expected. I know about the NBA too, it doesn't mean that I'm not disappointed.
It isn't like we were expecting Ellerman to hear his name last night; Kane did have a shot at being drafted.
There were two big-ish deals earlier in the day. I also wonder if you wouldn't have seen more deals if Philly had passed on Embiid.
Yeah it was like the first big domino never fell, Embiid sliding, Love getting moved, Rondo getting moved. I thought after Gordon went at four it might start to get crazy but then Exum-Smart-Randle went off the board and things were back in order.
I think we all wanted that, but it doesn't mean we should all act like some sort of injustice was carried out just because it didn't happen.

Yea, Vonleh was the only real big slider, and even that wasn't too extreme. The McDermott to Chicago trade was interesting, though. And Toronto's head-scratcher pick was entertaining.
Kane is a much better rebounder and defender. Sorry, call me a homer, but picking Marble over Kane is just baffling.
Agree completely. It is too bad they didn't get to hear their name called, and I believe there is some guaranteed money involved with being drafted in the second round. Where people lost me was in asserting that it is unconscionable that they didn't get drafted. There are a lot of really good players that don't get drafted for various reasons, usually age and projectability to the NBA. You see guys like Sean Kilpatrick, Patric Young, CJ Fair, all who were just as good college players, not getting drafted and you realize that a lot of very good players don't get to hear their name.

this is certainly a point worth noting.
Hoiberg obviously went out on a limb for Royce White to get drafted.
maybe the NBA executives no longer trust Hoiberg to give them the straight scoop on players.
It certainly makes sense why Kane wasnt drafted then. Character counts.
This could have an impact going forward on attracting the rogues to Ames if the NBA starts black balling them.
I think you should only be able to draft players that will be in the NBA or D-league net year. That stashing stuff is ******** and screws guys from over here who have worked their *** off at a high level of competition.

On Toronto's pick, "two years away from being two years away" was the quote of the night.

Those others were good too. Missed the fist pump. Overall good draft.It was right up there with Wiggins' suit, Stauskas's secret handshake, and Bill Simmons getting caught fist-pumping on camera after Boston's James Young pick as most entertaining part of the night.
