Lofton goes 6th overall in D League Draft to Iowa

[tvols75]

Jason Kidd was one of the best defensive guards in the last 20 years.

Talking about here recently. He is awful to watch on D and has been for about 3-5 years now. But that's what age does to you.

Why the Hell was Antonio Daniels in the D-League draft pool?

Antonio Daniels?

As in, "with the 4th pick of the 1997 NBA draft, the Vancouver Grizzlies select..."

That Antonio Daniels?

One of the best players ever. He was the best PG of his generation. I would venture he was the most creative passer I ever saw.

Yes.

JaJuan went in the sixth round, Maze the seventh, and McFagdon in the eighth and final round.

Can't see Lofton sneaking onto an NBA roster. Seems like he'd be better off financially by playing overseas.

 

[Jaytrain5]

Yes.

He get drafted?

Be interesting to see how much "development" that league can offer a guy with a championship and 10+ years in NBA on his resume.

I know, right? Do you think he knows something we don't about a possible call-up based on D-league success though? The draft position was way better than I anticipated.

Yes, in the second round.

That's good to hear. I just happened to go to the site as it was starting and saw Chris picked. I wasn't expecting any vols to be picked that high so I was surprised. The funny thing is that I texted him a congrats when I saw it, and he texted me back and asked what pick he was. I thought it was funny that he didn't know yet but he said he wasn't around a computer.

Steve Forbes and Al Gore were monitoring the Interwebs for him. They got tied up on Volnation during the draft...

Yes. But there's something about saying to your kids "I played in the Association."

Don't interject facts with the clueless. At 35 and after microfracture surgery, he can't effectively guard the elite point guards, but he's still a solid defender.

He was a great point guard, but his time is about up.

Wow are you serious? Someone saying that Stephen Curry couldn't beat out either one of the Magic PGs is calling me clueless. How about you go watch Jason Kidd's defense the last 3 years. It's age, but like I said there are many teams that want Nash and Kidd right now even though they are terrible on defense. Stephen Curry is one of the most fundamentally sound players there is, and you say he's overrated. If you think Stephen Curry is overrated then you need to go watch film of him after the ASB last year.
