Is he from Washington, or did he go to the college from another state.

Briggs, would you look at a kid like this if he was available and we had an opportunity to buy a later 2nd and take him?

Do you think Phil would?

Probably high 2nd round now--but I kept him in the top 25 in my mock.

He's actually a well-spoken intelligent sounding young man. BUT he has obviously messed with drugs(hopefully just pot) and it could be a matter of youthful error or a much more sinister sign. This is NYC which makes that all worse. If we has Okafor he would certainly be a nice piece as a rim protector per se--but can you rely on him to develop with that problem? There is no doubt the guy is all of 7-1 260 and athletic with long arms---I think he just cost himself $$$$ no doubt--with increased play he was headed later lottery. If I was his dad I'd make sure to get him help first off--basketball decisions 2nd.

Corruption would rather be the primitive laws, global wars, current medicine, etc. You can go to the doctor and get stuff all day that destroys your body but helps to stop pain.
These new Cannabis laws will make their way to the NBA in short time. And the war on consciousness, I mean people, I mean drugs, will be a thing of the past.
Our bodies, our choices, really simple. Call it recreation or not, the people have spoken.
