Wiseman may fill our biggest need with our poor interior defense, but I’m really leaning toward Edwards right now.

My first impressions from Edwards is that he just isn't that talented for being a top 3 pick. He seems like a hard worker and has crafted out some moves that work, but I just question if he has the talent to make his moves work against NBA level talent. I'll be interested to see how he performs against the top teams of the NCAA. I'd definitely lean to bust at this point.

Don't overlook Leaky Black. He reminds me of Kobe mixed with Wayne Ellington.

i want him for the name alone.

Stepian likes him as well.

The problem with the term “sleeper” regarding a player like Leaky Black is that he seems in actuality to be an NBA player who is merely waiting to be supplied with a minutes allocation that will allow everyone to see clearly that he’s indeed an NBA player.

from that scout report, id call him MCW but with a shooters touch. Which is better than it sounds.

He was injured for basically the whole year last year. He is a 6'8 PG/SG. These are average highlights for him.

If things keep going the way they are now we will pick between 11 and 16. Honestly who woulda thought we would have 4 wins already and be above 500.

The team started off 7-5 in the 2012-13 season and ended up finishing the season with the 2nd worst record. It's early in the season and I highly doubt this roster has what it takes to make it to the playoffs, right now at least.

This team is winning because it is well coached and our players are going hard and not giving up. That's a winning recipe that will ensure we aren't the worst team in the league, but the team still has the 6th worst point differential. That's not saying we shouldn't be impressed with the team, we should be, but we also shouldn't get ahead of ourselves and set our expectations too high.

Yeah, it's a little early to be worried about messing up draft position. On paper this team still has the, uh, 'talent' to secure a bottom-four position and best odds. If they keep outperforming expectations it will mean the young guys are legit and Mitch is dangerous with mid-round/late picks so that's not necessarily the worst outcome.

Damn I nailed this pick. July 16? Congrats to Cole Anthony on his UNC debut, 34 point record. Was nice to see dad smiling in the crowd.

Cole reminds me of pre-injury Derrick Rose. I think he'll likely be the number one pick. He's too athletic, polished, and skilled not to be.
