I dont know if this has been mentioned but...

Probasketballdraft
Talked to an executive during the Summer League, who said Magic PF Andrew Nicholson would be "a borderline All-Star". The exec went on to say Nicholson has been unguardable in one-on-one situations.

good to hear he already has high praise

Stolen from TBN:

By chance did anyone hear BS of the OS interview on ESPN....when asked when it is all said and done, where will Dwight Howard be, and he said...........................the Lakers and Bynum will be here.....he said it makes too much sense for both teams!!!!!!!!

That is exciting after a lot of people here, myself included, were less than thrilled with Henny's selection as it seemed we were piling on the 4 and 5 spot.
