Jarace Walker, NBA thread

not sure how much cred I put in that article, rockets seem just as likely to get the number one pick as pistons or pelicans….

These mock drafts aren’t the teams rankings they are what certain media people think will happen. It only takes one team thinking different for everything to change.

Jarace did a solo workout for the pacers yesterday. The fans seem to like him. I would like him to land in Indiania.

Jarace mentioned he has workouts with Detroit and Utah upcoming. Pacers was his 1st team workout

I know I’m a Houston homer… But I want him in the ketchup & mustard jerseys!

Lord, I loathe Indiana. Bleak state. Bleak city. Bleak colors. And suspicious history. Its where basketball careers go to ferment. I’m assuming the outlook for Walker is pretty rock solid for Detroit. Barring a major trade, that is. Does the NBA automatically have a lottery now for the #1 pick? If so I doubt Detroit trades out.

If Jarace couldn’t come here I’d like to see him in a major market: Chicago, NY, or Boston. Maybe even LA.

This writer really likes J. Walk.

Make it so.
JWalk to Htown

No Sass. The 2 other French guys pushing him to 2nd in new mocks.

Ha. I’ve never spent any time there, but one summer in the early 90s I worked in a Ticketmaster call center, taking orders from four states: Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia and Kentucky.

You would imagine the dumbest callers would be the hillbillies in West Virginia and Kentucky, but by far the stupidest people that ever called were from Indiana.

The following conversation happened on numerous occasions, and just about every time it was Indiana:

Me: “Can I get your address?”

Hick: “Do you know where the hardware store is on 4th Street? I’m just down the street from there in the brown house with a pickup out front.” :drooling_face:

Mock Draft vid, with Sam Vecenie, Matt Babcock, Jonathan Wasserman

If Jarace doesn’t go #5 to Pistons, I think Pacers will for sure take him at #7

Question now is where does Sasser end up? Late 1st round is what im hoping for

Sasser on the Spurs would be dope!

Sass - not later than #35 to Celtics.

I’m just so proud of Sasser. We all knew he has what it takes to prove himself, but the kid worked so hard and pushed himself into being a projected first round draft pick.

Just keep him away from the clippers. It’d be cool if Jarace goes 7th and Sasser goes 29th to both play in Indiana
