naa... I will just trust you to tell me how he played, then in 3 years when he's a bust I can trust Bonn to bring up the thread where you said he would be good, as he yells "SEE!!!! BRIGGS WAS WRONG!!!"

Yea Briggs don't forget to watch the 2nd game, Hakim Warrick will move up in the draft after NCAA tourney. Top 6
JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.

I don't normally watch NCAA, but I may have to turn in for a little while and see how good this guy is.

Briggs also said to sign Michael Redd (when we already had Spree/Houston) the the MLE and use the 7th pick on Amare Stoudemire.

Briggs just calls it like he sees it. Ramos is still a decent prospect. I was never high on Aroujo

Many
Big men take a long time to develop. I kind of knew Toronto would take Arajuo because he played very well his senior year and during the workouts he blew away everyone. Hes 6-11 285. But the biggest difference between CBB and NBA is
A everyone is big
B footspeed 3 times as fast.

Ramos will be a good player, maybe the best of the draft.

I liked Harrison to and he has played well. Thats the guy i wouldve drafted. Thats the guy i said to move up late first to get him. anyone of these guys patrick ???? NO!!! but there is no shame in taking a big late. are they all going to pan out? NO! But i do think that all will be servicable to good players. Guys like Brad miller, Bliunt et al took 4+ years to hone their games. If you make a mistake on someone 7-3 i think you live with it. the last draft was 1-2 heavy, i think it was obvious that it would drop off from there--it will take time for this draft to develop but it was good IMHO. I think Shawn Livingston is going to be real good, in fact i think all of the HS players will be very good players. I liked everyone. But it is almost impossible to make the jump from HS to pros physically for most. There is no doubt that there should be an age limit of ATLEAST = to 1 year of college. 19-20 heck even if lebron james went to CBB he couldve worked on his jumper right?

i meant to say that ramos might end up being the best C in the draft if Ok4 and howard are considered 4.

Just to mention, look what Peter ramos did to the USA basketball team that was made up of several lottery picks and elite college players--many older than him at that time

But if I did that, I'd risk being called a snit!

I am sure I said to trade up into the late first round to take harrison, perhaps one of the post fetchers can find where is aid that a few times. i never even mentioned or thought of ariza, but id rather have harrison over ariza any day of the week.
