The 2011 NBA Draft and David Thorpe's Re-do:

 

ESPN's David Thorpe is a great coach and a great scout. He's magnanimous and friendly online in chats, on twitter, and in person (I'm assuming). He had an ESPN Insider article go up today where he attempts to re-do the Top 20 picks of the last draft. I thought he made a lot of good points, and I'm not going to let the cat out of the bag here, I'm just going to list the Top 15 guys without commentary

 

David Thorpe re-do is the right name ie 4th Cavs pic kis Tristan but redo is Derrick Williams

Gave it some small edits and moved it into the General NBA forum. The move was mainly because the topic itself was far more about the top 15 picks than it was about the Toronto Raptors (especially since the Raps pick remained the same). :)

I agree with CMS. i'm sorry, but thats awful. Tristan Thompson hasn't erally done much of anything to prove he was worth a 4th pick let alone a second. Plus its almost a proven fact already that Jonas Val was a steal and probably would have went 2nd-4th. Plus, what have Walker and Knight done to drop from 8 and 9 to 12 and 13?
