I love Withey's game. But Sullinger isn't going to see Jeff Withey at the PF spot every night.

And Leonard's going to see much better talent than the Big 10 types he couldn't dominate.

Yeah, I'm gonna drive the "Please For The Love Of God Don't Draft Leonard Unless He's Your Second First-Round Pick" train right up until the very end and hope to God someone in the Bradley Center is listening.

Even if Andre Drummond is gone, the Hornets may still take a big at #10. They have expressed interest in Tyler Zeller and Meyers Leonard.

Jimmy, I have to assume you mean "what college player, that never started a game, was the last lottery pick?"

That would mean Rivers, Ross, and Lamb would have be taken 11-13 in order for us to have to default to Terrence Jones? I'd like those odds.

If he did, he could just pull him away from the basket for everybody else.

Ha. Kanter didn't play ANYWHERE the year before he was drafted #3.

The numbers are growing for players coming to Newark who weren't technically invited by the NBA: add Kentucky's Terrence Jones.

Looks like somebody told him he could go Top 14.

Rivers is going to very good, so it's not really a knock on shabazz.

I have my doubts about Rivers and I don't think he's in the class of Muhammad. Muhammad could be a monster and I'm willing to tank for him, especially considering the 2013 draft has some other nice players as well, including Poythress. I'm hoping tonight shows we are keeping our eye on the prize.

Ehh, Muhammad is a pure scorer who lacks a floor game(similar to rivers ehh?). He plays hard as hell and is ultra aggressive but he's got questions too. Shabazz isn't a phenomenal athlete, he's got good size and strength but his explosion and quickness aren't anything crazy. And he's just not that skilled. Solid post game and a midrange J, but nothing else really. Rivers is far far better as a shooter, and is simply far more dynamic with the ball which lends itself to more NBA success compared to a guy with Muhammad's game. I basically just don't see what you'd love about Muhammad so much but then dislike rivers. They have pretty similar strengths and question marks if you look from a broad scale.

Maybe but Philly has been all about bigs with their most intense workouts. I could see them taking Leonard or Zeller if one of them is there before T.Jones.

David Aldridges last mock yesterday had Drummond goin 16 with Houston's 2nd pick. Thats awful. There is no type scenario where I could see that playing out. I can't believe ppl like that get paid to write stuff like that.

JimmyTheKid · Post #258 » by **JimmyTheKid** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 8:38 pm

Lets list em all now...

Kobe, Josh Smith, Jennings, Kwame Brown, Al Jefferson....

Yes, I meant players that went to college that didnt start.

This was confirmed a few days ago. Rumor was it was the 76ers that were planning to take him at 15 if Terrence Ross is off the board.

Praying to sweet baby Jesus it wasn't us that told him to come.

There are a lot of people who think Drummond could suffer a serious fall but that would be nuts. He's definitely high risk but I can't see that many teams passing on him given his potential.
