Hey, Phoenix! DRAFT ME!!!!!!!!
You don’t think Omar Samhain or however you spell his name is going to get drafted?
I wish you’d pull you head out of your ass and realize I’m drafting Gordon Hayward.
Reasons:
1) He’s a nerdy white guy. (I like)
2) He’s local hick. (not from French Lick, though)
3) The boy can shoot and D-up.
4) We don’t care about winning anything but the lottery next season.
5) The we’re secretly trying to surpass Cleveland as the worst sports city. Sadly the 500 and the Colts are hard to beat.
We had Gordon Hayward going to the Pacers in our previous mock draft, and it is definitely possible, but if Monroe is still there for them, I cannot see them passing on him.
By the way, do you know the last time the Pacers passed on a local kid with a lot of hype for someone else?
Passed on Steve Alford for Reggie Miller. Not saying Monroe is Miller, but it wouldn’t be the first time this franchise passed on locals.
