Good Post.

I don't think they'll pick at 12...

[Murph]

I don't think they'll pick at 12...

I do, but I think there is only a 50/50 chance they keep the player they draft there. Remember all trades on draft night have to be approved by the NBA and (unlike the NFL) they take at least 30 min. to an hour to finalize after proposed.

I hope they don't, just for the sake of the pick history alone. Ugh, there are not alot of great players there in the past.

I guess that the Cats are very comfortable with their depth at Center seeing as how they haven't worked one out yet.

He's moving up the draft boards...Evidently, coaches think he can play!!! How bout that...But the biggest factor for the surge has been his combine workouts and his height. He's taller than most though, has a better reach than most thought, and his athleticism graded out well.

He is still projected 18th to 24th which he has been since the start. Congratulations you read the Charlotte Observer where Brown said he could be a good player in the NBA. He's 6'8 just like they said he was in college. It really is funny how you make things up so your teams and players sound better then they are. They did say he is almost exact to Griffin just not as athletic. If we got him in the 2nd round or we traded way down i would be ok with taking him.

[RedMage138]

At 6'8'' I'd be more comfortable drafting Hansbrough or Griffin if they could play SF. Griffin cannot make a shot outside of 6 feet from the rim and just isn't big enough to muscle his way under the basket in the nba. Both have pretty big holes in their game if they play PF at the NBA level.

He's 6'9.5 in shoes and a little above 6'8.25" without shoes...How did I make that up? Read the combine results. And he actually had a better standing reach than Griffin.
