Behanen's a monster.

He kinda bullied McGary inside.

He's 23. That's what pushes him out of lottery RT @DJurkowski: did Dieng lock up a spot in the lottery with this tourney?

So you're saying there's a chance.

23 damnit

Exactly, what I am saying. Teams will look at him and say there's more upside with others. The Bulls will say we lost Asik (of course Dieng won't replace him) and we have this 23 year old with size that fits our too perfectly and is NBA ready right now and we can control him for fours years on a rookie deal. Dieng is a Bulls type of pick all the way.

Where will Siva get picked?

Absent from DX mock...

[Ralphb07]

23 damnit

23 is still young and if you can add a 23 year old NBA rotation player for 4 years at what 1.5- 2 mil per, that is a steal IMO. We'd have him for 23-27.

Really when you think about it and all the possibilities from here to draft day - this draft might be bananas.

[BullsFTW]

Dieng sounds good right now

[Red Larrivee]

All the possibilities of role players with low floors and high bust potential.

[JohnnyKILLroy]

Depends on what is still there when we draft, but if its Dieng I won't be suicidal...

[bigfan26]

1st rnd draft picks are maybe the best value contracts you can get for a role player. In this case a 23, mature, high IQ basketball player who's ready to step in and contribute defensively right away.

I bet Thibs would love to have Dieng on the team. Like a center version of Taj on defense.

If he develops a reliable FT line J, it'll just make him more dangerous because of his passing out of the high post.

Totally.

Or it all goes nuts and teams gamble like crazy .

[Polynice4Pippen]

THEY SHOOTIN'!!

[SpinninHouse]

I love Siva -- love the guy. He's an electric player and his break-neck pace is just ruthless. Could not find a better fit for Patino's high-octane press. So few teams can withstand Louisville's violent choke-you-out defense. Good night Michigan.

Anytime you feel like complaining about NBA refs, just watch a college game.

I don't think I have ever seen a college game that wasn't at least as bad as the worst officiated NBA game I've ever seen.

[IbankingBoiler]

Can't wait for the bulls to draft DIENG

Thibs is going to confuse Deng and Dieng and run them both 45+ mpg

The FO will finally be forced to trade Deng to avoid any excessive and disruptive confusion. Drafting Dieng could be the first domino that needs to fall...

[DroseReturnChi]

I think one commentator pronounced Dieng as Deng. LOL Are they supposed to sound alike?

Every year I wonder why I only follow college during the tournament and every tournament watching the refs, it tells me why. They control too much of the game and the refs just aren't good in general.
