I need to make some kind of list of all the college teams I should be paying attention to.
I don't even know which teams most of these guys are on.
i'm usually pretty in tune w/college ball, but now that the knicks suck so bad, that's pretty much all i watch.
uncdukepittkansasuconn....there all teams w/real prospects, but you also have to keep your eye out for the lower teir teams. brandon bass(lsu)/moussa badianne(e.carolina)/travis diener(marquette) just to name a few that could be viable options in the second rnd. keep your eye out Mark.
I try to watch anyone who I think may be a prospect. I watched parts of 9 games today, but the guys I key on are bigs. Two guys I have been following are Nick Fezekas and Dwane Jones. they were both on TV today, I have full court but it usually has mostly top tier teams.
Fezekas is a 7 foot F and inside outside player who also block shots. hes skinny, but very fluid with a beautiful touch. I posted the other day about Jones and Fezekas on the Boston Celtics REAL GM thread, because they have picks 16+20+45. I said they should pick Granger Fezekas and Jones and they basically said I didnt know WTF I was talking about. The difference is I watch the guys, and I feel I know what Im talking about. They were all hot on a player named Tayler Copenrath from Vermont and today VT played Nevada and Fezekas dropped 32 points and 14 rebounds on them.
Jones is a definite poor mans Camby, hes got the same type of athletiscm with a sturdier frame about the same size 6-11 235. No post game, and cant shoot it past 10 feet but an EXCELLENT rebounder shot blocker garbage man dunker. he went for a triple double today 11 pts 12 rebounds 10 blocks and is 4th in the nation in rebounding.
Fezekas will be a guy IF he comes out, but he might, not to many 7 footers in the NBA who can play 3-4-5 with his skill, that will go mid range pick, probably after us. Jones on the other hand makes a tremendous amount of sense for us if we can pick up an early 2.
that why I keep saying , it would be great for us if we could acquire 3-4 picks in the top 40, so we could re-energize the team and take some risks on guy s like Jones.
