Marcus Campbell is one big dude! He has a 9'6" standing reach.

so who is this guy? his stats are not impressive. is he worth a look at 54?

Campbell is inconsistent, mentally weak, a poor athlete, and very behind skill-wise.

Frye, Channing 6' 9½" 6' 10½

That is scary

Why? All players are measured with shoes on.

Why? All players are measured with shoes on. He's basically between 6'10" and 6'11"; he definitely has the height and length to be an NBA center. If he can stay in the mid 240s, he'd have enough strength to be a C too


The bottom line with Frye, he can look like a great player, a really great player and then dissapear for long stretches. Hes got a great skill level, but so does Tim Thomas and they both seem to have the same problem. I would think long and hard about a guy who doesnt seem to bring it every night and has question marks concerning his base strength, weight, intensity, and toughness, because when it comes down to it, you can be a great great player with a great skill level with size and athletic ability like Tim, but if you are not tough, you dont play hard all the time, and people can push you around, that great skill level gets lost. Tim Thomas is a GREAT skill player with tremendous size, but why does he sck?
A. he does NOT bring it every night
B Questionable intensity
C He does tend to shy from contact

so these guys have to think long and hard about what they want out of this draft. I understand that they may not want to wait 2-3 years for aplayer, that wont go in NY, thats just the bottom line, but Id like to get the best player available who plays both ways and has a mean streak/toughness about him.

That's a good post. Outside of Bogut, where are we going to find that in a center this year? And you just know someone's going to end up delivering that whom we don't expect it from. Will it be Frye? Bynum? Petro? Even Taft? We can't tell - it's gonna have to be a best guess situation. To me it's still a loss to go for a smaller player when none are proven either and we are in such dire need of a big. Couild I be wrong on the star potential of one of them, say Webster, Graham, Green, Wright, Warrik, whomever? Yes I definitely could be but I still remain unconvinced.

I don't think Frye lacks intensity, focus or even consistency.

I think the major critique of his game is that he's a finesse player that lacks the power & inclination to be a physical presence.
