I'd try to move up for Looney in the teens, otherwise RHJ in the 20s please.

Damnit Obama... guy picks Villanova to be in Final Four and they get bounced by NC State. There goes my bracket.

Despite dx moving him down so far, I'd still be surprised if he made it out of the lottery. I don't think he's top 5, but he's at least 10-14

Can we get a current top 5 roll call? I'm curious if anyone else has towns over okafor, been feeling that for a week or two now

1. Towns
2. Okafor
3. Russell
4. Mudiay

Stanley
Okafor
Towns
Mudiay
HeZonja

I got Stanley at number one because too me he's the most NBA ready. Physicality and athleticism is perfect for the NBA game. Hes a great playmaker and at 6'8 and 250 pounds he's really like a Lebron lite.

Another reason for my draft Stanley campaign is that knowing our luck these past few years, I don't think we're gonna get the 1st, 2nd, 3rd pick. Well end up with 4 or 5. Apologies for my pessimistic outlook but it certainly looks like we're heading down that route with the excellent display of basketball the Knicks, TWolves ,and 76ers have displayed this season. :lol:

why can't we get on their level at tanking. Its like we even suck at being ultra sucky. :lol:

But to conclude my rant Stanley is gonna be the best at our draft position.

As for RUSSELL did you guys see him stink it up against Stanley Johnson and Arizona yesterday? Sure Stanley played bad as well with 4 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists. But Deangelo was God awful. He showed the world how Un-athletic he is.

He Started to remind me of a taller Kendall Marshall. :lol:

His physicality and athletic deficiencies is gonna be a real problem for him when he gets to the NBA

Post #696 » by **TyCobb** » Sun Mar 22, 2015 5:26 pm

Literally the only player who was worse offensively than Russell in the game was Stanley. Russell had an ORtg of 64, Stanley was at 59.
No room to talk bad about Russell from the Stanley Stans. lol

He's Jamal Crawford.

Every year at tournament time I find myself wondering why people don't talk about Branden Dawson as a good professional player.

If we could snag him with our Houston pick or early 2nd, we have a guy who can guard positions 2-5 and can physically hold his own against a lot of great players in this league.

Yeah I admitted in my post Stanley played horrible as well but he did still ripped down 10 boards and dropped 6 dimes. :nod:

Your shot is not gonna fall sometimes and that's life for any hooper from aau to the pros. Stanley still has athleticism and physicality which is out of this world. Something that RUSSELL does not have enough of right now imo especially heading into The NBA.

I recently moved up Mudiay in my top 5 over Russell . But playing overseas this season to me still labels him as a wild card. The NCAA this season is really competitive. More all around solid teams and prospects imo. More than likely EMan will be a star with a high level skill set that he has but it would of instilled more confidence in me if he destroyed Ncaa talent heading into the draft.

3 of the top 4 guards in the league aren't very athletic.......

Who will win the national championship?
