so there goes the BS about teams wanting Frye, also, If Utah had stayed at 6, their player was Granger per their paper--go look it up. I still can believe Granger and Green fell like that. I like Frye, I defended him as a late lottery to mid range pick, but 8 was just still to high. Now I cannot base anything that Frye has done to improve himself after the season has ended because I have not seen him play since, but can he have changed that much since he played 4 YR in CBB? . Other than his bench pressing, nothing stood out to me about his combine results athletically. He is not a true 7 footer , no one who is 6-9 in bare feet and using hardcore techniques to get their weight just pased 240 is a real 7 foot C. He's a PF and I want to see how this guy will ultimatley defend players with size and girth in the block, guys with more athletic ability. I think you say to yourself, EVEN if we dont what Bynum--how the fudge can we bypass Green and Granger, I dont give a shat what other teams did or did not do---do these frikin teams look back at Josh Smith and JR Smith and realize how badly they fcked up last year? Tell me WTF did anyone see in Yaroslev Kavolev that shows he had more talent that Green at the same age--Green was the number 1 ranked HS player in the UNITED STATES who did show a combination of incredible athletic ability and skill in the MCD game, showed Dominique Wilikns like Athletic ability

I just do not, in the realm of things, even if they like Frye lalala hate Bynum lalala need a 7 footer lalala do you pass on that, or Granger. But alas we did.

it's a very real possibility that something showed up in the workouts and interviews with granger. EVERY mock draft out there had him top 10 but he fell and fell hard. maybe teams were scared of the knee?

Briggs,
It looks like to me that Toronto would have preferred to select Frye but I really think Frye tried as hard as possible to not have them select him because he would rather play for the Knicks. He refused to work out for them and told them he didn't want to play for them. Do you think Toronto wants to draft a guy that never wants to play there? I would say only if it was a franchise type talent but look at the whole Vince Carter fiasco and I doubt they wanted that.

Don't know where Briggs getting his information but Babcock already stated that Frye refused to workout for them after repeated request as recently as this weekend.
