great night! where did your faves end up, ONTD?
leonard and zeller really stood out tonight in terms of fug
Lets not forget the " icy new earing with nice conservative suit"...thats some groundbreaking shit. I see George Clooney and Brad Pitt copying that look for the Oscars.
Its really weird because I lived in Ames for a few years and have met this kid.
austin rivers..
UCONN
He also had the nicest cut suit out of everyone.
Austin's was alright but a little too smart casual hipster. Prisoner of the fashion trend moment.
New Orleans got a nice package with Rivers and Davis. I still Austin's a 2 guard and not a playmaker.
Also Oklahoma is gonna be even more scary with Perry Jones joining Durant, Westbrook and Harden. Team got the West on lock now.
I'm surprised Sullinger fell down to Boston's lap.
I also think Miami should not have traded that kid from the first round.
I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what Anthony and Austin do in NO.
Miami's going to become the new Boston and that move pm confirmed it.
it's okay Miami, he's in good hands now.
/76ers fan
I thought OKC and the warriors picked well.
I cried a little bit at the bar that I was at when he got picked. People thought I was crazy until I told him his story.
Also, I live in Louisville now & there are a lot of UK fans, which is the worst.
did he talk in class?
i guess that's my only question
