I definitely found a new and serious front court prospect today in Greg Monroe out of G Town. Very close to an athletic 7 feeter--perfect for this style of play---he's a name who will get hot and looks like he can be a sure fire lottery pick at 6/10-245.--the whole board is going to flip around but he is a guy who is going to rise as fast as you can on the charts with his package.

THis is a pretty thin draft class no??? Everything from draftnet and express is mostly about players I wouldn't be to excited about drafting in the top ten at this point of the season.

Has anyone mentioned Jrue Holiday? 6-4 200 pounds, UCLA combo guard. He is my pick if he declares early! I think he might be a Dwayne Wade prototype minus the injuries. He has a complete game, makes solid decisions on the floor. Although not a standout individual defensive player, he gives a real strong effort on D. Plays the passing lanes, and will not get beat easily.

Most importantly, he plays fundamental basketball.. he doesn't always look for the highlight play when a simple play is equally effective. Very smart, and sound offensive game.

If the Knicks have a very high second or acquire a very low first as in 28-35--I would be taking a very strong look at Chris Johnson. I think he is an nba player and fits this system at the back up PF who can transition to C well.

Yup, another amazing game for Curry. And, oddly, even with 44 points, his stats don't quite reflect his play. His very smart play made a group of scrubs into, oh, an average ACC team. Bob McKillop deserves some credit, he's a great coach but I don't think any other player than Curry on the Davidson team would make walk-on at NC State. (I was following the NC State boards during the game and a lot of comments were along these lines "Is this a HS team? Whoa, these guys are nicely coached but without Curry, I'm not sure they are a Div. III team." )

I just bought $10 tickets (second row of the 303 section) for the Davidson vs. WV game at MSG on Tuesday from Ticketmaster. I'd rather watch Curry than the current Knicks.
