One more reason to trade our pick for an established young player........


Like whom?

Rumors circulating from a dislocated kneecap to a torn acl. Either way its bad.

if it hurts his stock too much he might be better off staying in school.

Now we absolutely have to win that 1st pick if we want to draft McLemore. Noel was the only player who could potentially go ahead of him.

throw noel out of consideration. dont want to deal with rehabbing a raw rookie. in a draft with little to no separation up top, no need to go down that road.

Jonathan Givony ‏@DraftExpress

If Noel is expected to make a full recovery I can't see why it should change things that much. Hopefully its not as serious as it looked.

Aside from selfish reasons I really do wish that he is alright, it looked bad.

I hate KY. But from what I've read he does a ton of charity work and skypes weekly with underprivileged kids. I hate it for him. Muhammeds stock has went down slightly along with Bennetts (unless you ask Doug Gottlieb. Eh...) McLemore or Muhammed for me. No way Zeller is worth a top 5 pick with his wingspan. Oladipo may end up going before him, and rightfully so.

Hopefully KY isn't as lame as duke has been with Kelly. Withholding information.

If you have a weak stomach don't click on this. It is of his knee as it was bent and that is why I didn't post the image itself.

That's way too reminiscent of Shaun Livingston.

That sucks for that kid. I don't think we were going to take him anyways though.

I honestly think we are going to screw up and take Anthony Bennett, but I hope not.

Thanks for not posting the image. I get weezy and faint sometimes after seeing catastrophic injuries. Aka Marcus Lattimore.
