All I know is he went in for secretive workouts with 4-5 teams, but no one knows anything. No one from Uconn, even guys who really know quite a bit have any idea about Bynum right now.

He's getting ready to start his NBA workouts up. He has quite a few lined up, but I was asked not to say what particular teams until the workouts come around. I've also been told that he measured at about 7'1 barefoot at a recent physical. I was then informed that he will also be cancelling his workout on the 18th in Manhattan. I will probably do a DraftExpress Daily on him within the next few days

not what you think. Initially, he had two public workouts lined up at Baruck College, one on the 4th and one on the 18th to make sure every team got a chance to take a look at him. Im guessing from this guys response that he had an overwhelming about of teams who wanted to take a look at him and the 2nd publick workout was not necessary. Im telling you he is the absolute wild card of the draft, he measures out at 7-1 in bare feet and only 17 1/2 years old, yet he has a lot of skill already. His doctor said he was still growing and if he is about 7-1 in bare feet, then he measures out around 7-2 1/2 280+ in shoes right now.

what's the deal with draft city these days? Jon G. took all his scouts over to draft express? or was the whole thing just a big name change to avoid a possible law suit from that agent?

I dont know, but more than ever Im suspecting that bynum might end up way WAY higher than anyone suspects.

every year someone's stock sky-rockets thats why I was saying if Bynum looks good in workouts he would go in the top 8 when you also take into consideration that he is 7-1 280

if he is 7-1 in bare feet, that puts him over 7-2 with sneaks and still growing. the old adage is you cant teach size, but when you throw skills athletsicm work ethic and intellignce, well you have a recipe for very high success.


just for comparisons sake

channing frye is 6-9 1/2 243 aftre jacking himself up. right now at 17, he is 3 /12 inches taller and roughly 40+ pounds bigger, yet almost 5 years younger. And we are not talking a blob with no skills, were talking a smooth player who plays with aggresion and has nice burgeoning skills.

Draftcity got sued by some agent and they had to fire their main scout Jonathon Givony. He and most of the other good scouts/writers on the site left draftcity and made draftexpress, which looks exactly like draftcity.

I have 0 change of opinion, nothing makes me believe that anyone we could have at 8 will be better long term than this kid. I was a little surprised by this measurement, but we also know he is in the process of growing still. If this kid was a blob or uncoordinated, OK. But as anyone who watched, particularly on the OTL piece, he's very smooth, agile and athletic and if you consider 7-2 280 with that, a 7-6 wingspan, this kid can literally pull the rim down without leaving his feet. Maybe it does take a little time, maybe it does take 2 years for everything to fall into place, who cares! This is a rare specimen, i hope we dont bypass the opportunity. I wish he would come to Uconn, but that isnt going to happen. so the next best thing would be for him to end up in nY!
