Hansborough just got into the top 20.

Derozan's reach is amazing

So, apparently, Kevin Durant finished last in the athletic testing.

Durant - only b/c he couldnt bench 185

williams got UP...so did griffin..wowzas

how come williams isn't being talked about for us at 8, btw?

we can use a sg as much as a pg.

not saying we would take him, but he's intriguing.

i didn't get a chance to watch much of louisville this year, actually.

i know this place is filled with big east followers...

what's the take on him?

sounds like he can play multiple positons, shoot from 3, defend, is a tough guy, and has ridiculous athleticism.

guess he's not much of a one-on-one scorer...more of a role player

but sounds like he is good in the pick and roll, and has good court vision.

not something i'd have a huge problem with at 8 in this draft.

perhaps Mullens knocks Hill out of the projected top 5 based on workouts.

Griffin
Thabeet
Mullins
Rubio

I think he will be there at 8 and we should pounce--chance for us to get a Pau Gasol type player to go along with Lee long term.

We should nab a PG back in the draft--I would start by trying to do a $ deal with Milwaukee for their pick. Money is going to be important this year and picks are a good way of finding money. Our payroll dropped off the table--we should be able to have the resources it takes to get a second pick.

What every way you want to think--this is still a big mans league first.

Wouldn't be a bad idea Briggs.

Gotta give you props Briggs with Mullens. I have been lukewarm to him, but you've been all over him for a while now. Good call my friend.

Doesnt mean anything--we have to pick him to make it count.

Well I do think there is something to be said for eye for talent.

I still would love to come away from this draft with Mullens AND Curry...

agree. likely Presti will too when picking 3rd for a roster with very little upfront in terms of size and skill.

Flynn's measurements can't be right...it doesn't make sense.

I think that the Flynn measurements is a typo. I think it should read 5'11.25 and not 6'11.25

When you look at a players height on espn or nba.com or whatever, they give you the height with shoes, right?

I believe the nba official measurements are taken without shoes. Then 1 inch is added. This gets around the fact some shoes add more height than others. So with that system, Lawson's nba height will be 6'1".
