Another classic.

Okafor showing off his post arsenal. Dudes got more moves than Dwight Howard at a high school party.

Yea i liked how Okafor owned that moment, Tyus could use one more year in college so he can walk in much more matured but he looks to have serious potential though

Real poised OT by Duke, I'm liking Winslow more and more but not as high as 5th, but he'd be nice if he could be acquired cheaply (california dreamin)

Interesting to see Coach K foul up 3. Not a lot of people do that, especially in college.

Great game, not sure where NC got all the scoring juice to hang with Duke and then not sure how they choked so bad.

you think his offensive game is enough to make up for his lack of d? All i'm hearing is he's a taller Al Jefferson, never actually seen him play, mostly highlights and lowlights mainly his PnR (which were pretty terrible looking)

He needs to work on his defensive rebounding and defense, but his offensive game is good enough to be the #1 option on a team. He has the natural length and teach-ability to improve defensively. Now with that said, Towns in more athletic, has a better jumper, better shooting stroke, and defensive instincts than Okafor. One guy you run your offense through, the other guy is more versatile.

Yup, I like that versatility indeed, Okafor seems awesome but I don't see like a once in a lifetime generation type of player so Towns would be excellent as well. With Randle, we need that versatility he has, assuming Randle comes back full strength

Okafor's passing is light years ahead of Blackhole Jefferson.

Oregon State forces you to play some of the most ugly basketball. Man these games are boring to watch.

With that said, it'd be hilarious to watch them play Nebraska.

Kyle Wiltjer is balling out. I'd take him in the 2nd round. Can really fill it up nicely. He's what we wish Ryan Kelly was.

"2015 high school senior class (the backbone of the 2016 lottery) is considered to be one of the weakest in years. 1996 int'l class also poor"

"2015 NBA Draft class has quietly emerged as a very strong group of prospects. Many starting to say its better than the overhyped 2014 Draft."

Enjoy the '16 pick, Philly. Which will be traded for a '17 1st rounder so who am I kidding..

That's a relief if it happens like that, interesting tidbit.

was thinking right now bout Russells #'s, again I'm not college guy never watch much of any but is he similar to Evan Turner? Turner put up #'s across the boards to at OSU but his game didn't seem to translate to the pros well, probably due to his avg shooting and athleticism. Now I know Russell probably is better shooter but his weakness seems to be lack of elite speed or athleticism. Kinda need one or the other to be an elite lvl type guard in this league.

Turner can't shoot. Russell is an elite shooter. Completely different. Also how in the world can you compare a freshmen that averaged 8.6 points 4.4 rebounds 2.6 assists to one averaging 19/5/6 with a 43% FG from 3.

Slava I've been saying this all year and nobody is listening. Next years draft is going to be really really weak. It's the main reason I don't care about forking over the pick to Philly next year. I've been on their board telling them as much, but tanking has really taken a toll on that fan base because you can tell they're sucked in to "collect asset" mode.

Next years draft won't net one franchise changing player like this one will. Which is why we can't screw it up,especially if we don't luck out to number 1.

Jarell Martin from LSU. Beast#

Martin just did a between the leg dunk on a breakaway in game against Florida. 2nd round... get real Draft Express.
