UPDATE: Draft Express calls shenanigans on the Head-and-25-for-18 rumor, but says the pick is very much up for grabs. Thanks to Jake for the link.
And so it begins. Draft Day 2008 is finally here. The rumors keep trickling out, but we're just four hours away from getting all the answers.
This is your official draft thread. For those who haven't been around for Bullets Forever game threads, they seriously kick ass. The new platform means that any comments automatically show up on the page. You don't ever have to click "Refresh" in order to keep up with the conversation. Just sign on to your computer, open up this post, and watch other people's comments' show up automatically.
I'm definitely going to be around, though I'm having a couple friends over as well. You all should be here too.
Also, post any pre-draft rumors you here between now and the beginning of the draft. In his ESPN chat, Chad Ford addressed the rumored trade with the Rockets thustly:
Ken (New Braunfels, TX): Is there any truth to the rumor that the Rockets are trading their pick at 25 along with Luther Head, to the Wizards for their pick at 18??
Chad Ford: The Wizards and Rockets have had talks but nothing is done. I do think the Wizards are trying to move this pick ... they're talking to several teams in the 20s but Rockets look like their best option right now.
For what it's worth, Ford has Marreese Speights falling all the way to 25 in his final mock draft. If we trade down AND got Speights, it would be beyond awesome. I doubt he lasts that long, though.
No matter what, it's draft time. Any predictions on who we pick? List 'em here.
GO WIZARDS!

Adding Head and Speights??
I’d be AMPED
Dear Diary, JACKPOT!!!!!!!!!!

Two links
The first comes from Dan Shanoff. All I’m going to say is that it involves Calbert Cheaney.
Here’s what Draft Express said regarding the Head rumor:
Rumors that Houston will trade up to the 18th pick in exchange for Luther Head and the #25 have been called "completely false" by sources with knowledge of the situation. The Wizards like Roger Mason much more than Luther Head and don’t consider him any kind of upgrade to what they have already.
Here’s the link:

Good
As I said in the other thread, this trade would be too risky. This is the most unpredictable draft I’ve seen in a long time. There’s a good chance that neither Speights nor Hibbert will be there when we draft at 25. I’d rather grab one of them than take Head and the garbage that’s left late in the first round.

That kind of makes it sound like we're re-signing Mason

Or
Or that the person speaking didn’t realize that Mason was a FA. Honestly don’t think this effects a potential trade in any way. Its almost weird that they bothered to denounce it.

Yea, but

Richard Jefferson to Milwaukee?
Just heard this on ESPN. Straight up for Bobby Simmons and Yi Jianlian.
Huh?
Also heard Seattle and the Clips are swapping picks.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.

Not strictly a draft trade, I don't think
But Yi Jianlian and Bobby Simmons for Richard Jefferson:
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/basketball/nba/specials/draft/2008/06/26/yi.jefferson.trade/index.html
Seems odd at first to me. I thought Yi would’ve been a good piece for the Bucks to build around. Ian Thomson’s take on it is that the Nets are thinking ahead to make a play for Lebron.

Jefferson doesn't play defense
So why would Milwaukee want him?
I don’t get it for either side.

not far
Indy with those two picks can take him at 11, if he gets by NJ at 10. They will have negated Milwaukee’s interest in him, allowing them to draft him if Charlotte passes. Well played Mr. Thorn.

I feel like we end up with Darrell Arthur. Heard his name linked to the Wizards a lot and I don’t think anyone looks at him besides Philly at 16. I’d be OK with the pick, but the guy I really want is Speights.
And I’ll just throw two names out there for the second-round pick…Jamont Gordon and George Hill.

And he also has a good motor (from ESPN Insider)
Positives: Athletic big man with an excellent face-the-basket game. Long arms and explosive leaping ability make him an excellent shot-blocker and a good rebounder. Is developing a low-post game, but is still very raw. Has a reliable midrange jump shot and even some college 3-point range. Has the ability to create his own shot off the dribble. Good motor for a big man. Could be a 4 or a 5 in the league.
Negatives: Still developing, especially as a low-post player on the offensive end. Needs to add strength and weight, though it looks like he has the frame to do it. Poor free-throw shooter.

The best thing about the negatives
is that with Shaq old and Duncan slowing down, there aren’t really any hardcore, old-school big men in the League, so not having strength right now isn’t that much of a setback.
Question is: can he pass? B/c you need to be able to pass as a big man in EJ’s offense.

Young and Raw talent
What EG needs to do is surround this team with the best teachers/role models this off season. This is a reach to scoop McGee, so EG clearly had his eye on this guy for awhile. He needs to learn how to get in the weight room and get swoll, and to dedicate himself to learning the game. Same for Andray, Nick, Pesh, and Dmac.

Im getting WTF? repeatedly in text messasges
Can he rebound? Can he play D? Can he run up the Court? Was he worth a shit at Nevada? or was he just the tallest guy in a smaller time conference?
I know Arthur can do all 3 of those things.

No Rebound?
I thought Arthur could board, maybe it was some of KU’s other bigs.
