I kick myself everyday that i didnt talk to him more. I talked to his girl and others more than him. His girl was about 5'4....tiny but with a big butt. I was saying to myself and others....whoever drafts him his current girl will quickly become his ex. I shouldve made a deal with him saying if he gets drafted by the knicks, i want home game tickets. Hes becoming big time now.....But an extremely humble guy. Glad to see a good guy make it. Very smart too....which is surprising he skipped college.

What else did she have going for her besides her, un, lower body. What was the face and the rest of her upper body like. You can't be half a scout. You need to go into full details.

Wow, I was guessing 5th or 6th pick when I posted this, he is up to 4 with his recent play. Of note, Trier is getting noticed here as well.
I pray we can keep the young guys and get two Max's. No injury prone AD please, at least not at the cost of Mitch.

4. Mitchell Robinson, New York Knicks

Mitchell Robinson delivered an amazing sequence against the Magic this week.
Last week: Not ranked

The Knicks’ rookie has turned into quite the sensation, capturing the hearts of fans at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks won back-to-back games this week, and Robinson was a major factor in both victories. In the Knicks’ against San Antonio on Sunday, Robinson put up 15 points, 14 rebounds and five blocks to help New York snap an 18-game home losing streak. Two nights later, the 7-foot-1 center had 17 points, 14 rebounds, six blocks and three steals in New York’s comeback win vs. Orlando. Robinson became the third rookie in the last 25 years to tally a double-double with at least five blocks in back-to-back games. The other two? Hall of Famer Yao Ming and future Hall of Famer Tim Duncan. The two wins brought attention to the energetic rookie, but he’s been solid all month (10.9 ppg, 8.9 rpg, 3.3 bpg in 22.6 mpg off the bench).

Haters will say players not developing. Next is teams will pay attention to Mitch and go after his weakness.

I’m happy, but also in the throws of a homerfest over our kids when they play good!
Not sure what’s up with Aryton and Bamba but they young and raw too.

Bamba reportedly was on the trade block at the deadline. I think there are more concerns there then he is just a rookie.
