I want to hear that Kyrie from Duke University is the #1 pick also, from Duke University. I am so nervous.

I'd be even more proud if the #1 pick was Kyle Singler or Nolan Smith. Nothing against Kyrie, he seems like a great guy, but he's not a Duke guy like Nolan and Kyle. He was barely a Blue Devil.

Congratulations to Kyrie and his family!!!
He looks so handsome in his suit. So happy for him. I wish he would have stayed, but he was the #1 pick in the 2011 nba Draft. The Best to Kyrie!!!

These guys are so dang tall. Some tall dude from KONGO was the 7th pick. (Bismack Biyombo) or something like that). Out of the top 7 picks, 4 are international. Bismark speaks 7 languages. He is only 18 yrs old. He is suppossed to be traded to Bobcats!! And I think Corey Magette, was traded to the Bobcats, also.

We all knew that Kyrie was a One and Done player. And fortunate to have him for that year. Unfortunate with the injury, and that may have caused Duke to repeat Championship. however, the injury could have disabled Kyrie from ever playing Basketball. With his desire and consistent rehab, he got hisself back into the rotation, with post play. So, I am glad that Kyrie is the Number 1 pick, as Cleveland needed a Point Guard. Also, he represents Duke University.
I love Nolan and Kyle ! Warriors and Leaders and stayed 4 years to graduate! I wish both young men the very very best. And Kyle could have gone possible lottery pick in 2010, but opted to stay at Duke. Nolan exploded this past year. They both deserving to have the best NBA careers. I hope Kyle gets selected soon! I have read, somewhere in the 1st round. And Nolan, should be in the 2nd round.
But so proud of all 3 young men for representing Duke University and being mature, gracious and humble.

With 9th pick, Charlotte Bobcats select Kemba Walker!
Charlotte is getting some good talent!

Jimmer Fredette is going to the Kings!!! What an extraordinary scorer! Very deserving of a lottery pick!
Does the NBA not value the US College players with years of experience ? 4 early picks are International kids.

Sadly, they're on pick 14, and Bilas's 10 Best Available has no Singler and Smith.
This is very depressing.

Charlotte did well getting Kemba. Do they still have that loser from carolina playing point guard? What'shisname? Felton? Too bad!

The Knicks fans were not overly impressed by this. Can't say that I blame him.
The Wiz picked FSU's Chris Singleton 18th.

Nolan didn't go to the draft. Bummer.
ALSO, what was this that Bilas said about Nolan, "... or wherever he may go?"
