Bayless, Mayo and now Thabeet are out.

I'd be really interested in trying to get a mid first round pick to draft Thabeet if he's going to fall.

I wonder if poor tournie showings drop Bayless and Mayo or if they decide to go back to school?

I thought Bayless was soft, griped to the officials and was awful last night.

yeah, bayless looked bad.

mayo still looked pretty good. he probably didn't drop out of the top 5, really. but it is a horrible draft. beyond derrick rose and beasley, i don't know how many uber impact players there are. still, there are some savvy guards around. i'd like to grab a savvy guard and maybe trade for a mid first round pick and nab thabeet.

I hope this is the same thought if Rose or Beasley get bounced their next game.

Thabeet lowered his value a lot in this tounament. He should have dominated the game from an offensive and defensive point of view and wasn't able to deliver. Tallest guy on the opposing team was 6'6''. I'm sorry folks but the way Thabeet played was softer than Curry ever played.

He's a stiff and he played like one. He needs to stay 4 years. If hhe does and works hard he could justify the hype he gets. Still, he is like one of 4 possible center or 7fters that might go in the first round.....he can still get drafted pretty high just cuz of that.

In my mind Thabeet is definitely a 4 year guy. At least 3 to develop some kind of offensive game and instincts. But I fear he will leave this year.

If he comes out like I said he is like 1 of 4 center prospects in this entire draft. Someone will give him that guranteed money.

I'm gonna compare him to the sleepy sloth Hibbert of G-town. Last year hibbert probably coulda went lottery.....nah I'd say definately. Now a lot of draft boards have him ranked like 3rd or 4th at center. Did he get worse? No........I think he realized that he has a lot to learn about himself and the game. He's not afraid. He shows passion at times. I think he see's how good he can be. Even now he drifts in and out. Still, when he is on his game he can play with anybody. He stood toe to toe with oden last year. Why not pick Hibbert with the 5th pick?

I'm just comparing.....thabeet just isn't ready and the midgets he just faced proved that. Hibbert on the other hand may be ready to go. This tourney should be his coming out sort of.
