It's being hyped hard on RGM and it's kind of his MO. Fake injury not to workout for anyone--6-8 very athletic only a sophmore with good potential. Kind of sounds like what IT said that he was going to gamble with someone he could bring along slowly. All adds up

Briggs Im not too familiar with this guy, would you say its a good pick or no?

NBA Draft: Wilson Chandler


Two star rating (Career Reserve)


College: DePaul

Class: Sophomore

Stats: ESPN.com



Position: SF/PF

Height: 6”8”

Weight: 230lbs



Accolades: Second Team All-Big East (07), Big East All-Rookie Team (06), Honorable Mention All-American – Street & Smith’s – high school (05), Mr. Basketball – Michigan – high school (05), First Team All-State – Michigan – high school (05), EA Sports All-American – high school (05), Third Team All-American – Parade Magazine - high school (05).



Scouting Report: An athletic combo forward.



Strengths: Good athleticism and hops. Can really get up and attack the rim. Very good rebounder. Very good shot blocker. Can score inside or step outside and hit the three. Very good NBA size. Averaged over 30 minutes a night both years in college playing in a big time conference.



Weaknesses: Is he a NBA small forward or power forward? Still a work in progress as a small forward and would be a little short for the NBA 4-spot. Very inconsistent three-point shooter – only a 30% shooter from deep for his career. Mediocre free throw shooter. Can be foul prone.



Projected 2007 Draft Range: Mid second round pick – undrafted.



Consensus: Chandler is an intriguing prospect due to his inside/outside potential, but “potential” is the key word. He needs at least another year in school to improve his draft stock and make himself more of a viable NBA small forward candidate.

Looks good against St. Mary's of the Blind, but it would be a tough pill to swallow seeing us take a project guy at his position. Maybe IT's thinking if this guy learns to shoot and Balkman learns to shoot you could play them at the 2 and 3 slots with Lee at the 4? In a perfect world that would be great but, I'd be more comfortable taking a guy who could stroke it now and see if we can land a guy like this with a later pick.

Have we considered trading Morris for a late round pick? He's not going to be anything on this team anyway.

if this is the case you would hope that it flips the pick backwards to high second round and pick up a future 1.

I mustve seen him play because depaul played uconn the last two years but he just doesnt stand out in my mind. I will say Depaul plays very methodically and there are 2-3 guys that are kind of in that 6-6 6-8 range who have similar attributes.

Looking at our mock draft, as retarded as it is, there are going to be good players there at our slot.

This is the player--everything else we have heard seen this that or the other thing was just hiding this deal up. Like Channing frye--we are selecting Wilson chandler because no one from pick 14-22 will touch him--the problem is he hasnt worked out for anyone so we *could* jump back and be smart about it but that isnt happening. Make no mistake this is the kid bank on it unless the 1/1000 of a chance kobe is traded here or greg oden slips:)
