Don't know if you remember this or not, but I didn't always agree with you when I first started checking out the forum on this site. However I have definitely been agreeing with a lot of your posts lately because they have made sense/been insightful/etc. etc. and you've backed up everyone of them. Just wanted to give credit where it is due. Keep up the kick@$$ posting. : ) : ) : ) : )

Briggs does put a lot of effort into scouting these players but lets remember that no one on this board has the insights a real GM has. The only insight we have is from reading mock drafts and watching players player against lesser competition than NBA competition so it is really hard to predict who will do what in the NBA with the exception of obvious once in a lifetime star player.

I've taken in a lot of Briggs insight on players and I agree with a lot of it, but he's not the only one with good insight on this forum. I gotta give credit to guys like Vdesai, nyk4ever, oasis, enyspree, tms & others who I know for a fact watch a lot of CBB and I think very highly of their opinions as well and I think we all should. why limit ourselves to 1 person's POV, right?

oh I agree. I just disagree with some of the players he included in his top 20 list but for the most part it is very accurate. But guys like Deron Williams won't go as high especially when the foreigners and high school players come into the picture come draft camp. The draft will look very different when all is said and done. Its impossible to predict who will go in the lottery before then. As long as everyone keeps that in mind we're good.

Briggs is very good. There are also alot of other posters whose posts I enjoy reading also.

Briggs gives insight to his posts which i like. It doesn't matter whether or not I agree with any of his posts but it's more of the "reasons why and reason why not" in his posts that I am impressed with. In other words, his posts are always INFORMING, regardless

I'm silly so never take anything I may post personal. You may see me write something on my class clown day to get a laugh but there is no doubt about it, Briggs, Gunsewing, Nalod, Gunsewing, BigSmooth, Oasis, of course Fishmike, Enyspree, Caseloads are staples of this site, imo.

Even other posters who just post some of the most un-thought out and un-informed posts ever seen on the internet, such as ...(hahaha. you want me to name them don't you) bring something to this forum, imo.

Okay, now let's get back to work fellas.

LOL! I like TMS and think he makes a lot of good posts here. We just disagree on Iverson (and Iverson-Marbury comparisons)

thanks for the shout bro... i try and keep up in here - hard to sometimes with med school, but i read all the posts - i tried to drop some knowledge on this year's draft on this page: http://www.ultimateknicks.com/forum/topic.asp?t=8580&page=1

just my insight on players - i think there are a ton of role players, but no ready-made superstars.
