Roberts and Simien's injuries at a young age are probably what is keeping teams away. But they both do have size and when healthy can rebound. We might want to sign one of them to be a deep bench guy in the future.

Roberts is unsigned, but was with Olympiakos. Simien's still recovering from knee surgery. Neither really give you a lot.

The player that fell recently fell off the radar screen that interests me is Chris Taft from Pitt. He was drafted by Golden State a few years ago, but I haven't heard his name in a while. I saw him perform out in Vegas for the SL a few years ago and he looked like a very good prospect. He has excellent size, (6'10" and solidly built), and was pretty athletic for his size. His game was somewhat raw, but I saw some talent in his game that could certainly be expanded with some experience. Does anyone know what became of him?

Really, they don't have him under one of those 30 yr foreign contracts where he has to give a kidney to be able to get out of it right?

They only do that with their own.

Mark Blount w/o the (limited) motivation.
