Danny Ainge has commented that this year's draft was the 'thinnest' (my words) he's seen in years. Slim pickings, not to be confused with the C/W celebrity...

I was hoping that the Blazers would try to make some big moves but they had a pretty conservative draft. Hopefully they can do something big in free agency.

It was compared to more recent drafts it was terrible. Im happy that the Lakers were able to get out of round 1 trading Toney Douglas and picking up around 3 million in extra cash. Love that move and hopefully will help them in re-signing players. Im hoping desperately they re-sign BOTH Ariza and Odom.

Is it just me, or is anyone surprised that Demar DeRozan was drafted so early in the first round. I thought he would of fell at least to 15th pick.
