For those who may be interested, I noticed today at the game that McDonough was doing some scouting - he was taking notes throughout the game and talking to a few guys who were definitely scouts. I'm not sure who he was scouting in particular, probably a little bit of everyone, but he seemed to be paying the most attention to center Jordan Bachynski of the Sun Devils.

Bachynski is an interesting prospect - a really big body (7'2 with a 7'4 wingspan) who is surprisingly athletic and quick. It was a good game to scout Bachynski, too, because he spent the majority of the game matched up against 7'6, 290 lbs Mamadou N'Diaye. He handled him pretty well most of the game, but struggled in the second half.

With Slava Kravtsov not likely to be retained after this season and the kind of apparent need for a defensive minded center who can still run with the team, I find Bachynski a really interesting prospect for a second round flier. What do you all think?
