Chad Ford has been wrong on so many occasions about the cats there is no point in listening to anything he has to say. He hates the cats becuase management gives him nothing. Yahoo always gets the scoop about the cats.

I'm not a paying member so I couldn't see his mock draft, but it would allow me to see his top 100 list which also shows where he thinks they will be drafted. In other words, its pretty much the same thing.

From Chandler Parsons Wows in Workouts by Chad Ford: http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/blog?nam ... id=6485079

"(Paul) George and Parsons guarded each other. Parsons really surprised me. I knew he was skilled and athletic for a 6-foot-10 player. But he showed aggressiveness that I just hadn't seen at Florida . He went head-to-head with George for an hour. George is better, but Parsons held his own. He showed the ability to take George off the dribble to the rim, rise up and hit jumpers over George's freakishly long arms and most importantly he made a number of spell-binding passes to Thomas. Parsons' decision-making in the sets was fantastic. So was his shooting. He was hitting just about every shot he took and showed range out to the NBA 3-point line."

I've liked Parsons in the 39 slot. 6'10 and playing SF remember. If Singler's gone and Parsons still there same type of player.

Chad Ford likes Klay Thompson:

"Klay Thompson is a lot more athletic than people give him credit for and might be the best pure shooting guard in the draft. He showed in the workout that he is more athletic than people give him credit for. He's not an elite athlete such as Alec Burks or Travis Leslie, but he's going to be quick enough to excel at the 2-spot. Given his elite shooting ability, ballhandling and basketball IQ, he's the most complete 2-guard prospect in the draft."

Parsons sounds like Austin Daye to me.

Kwahi is in - and signed with the same agent Tyrus has. Tyrus is the agents biggest client and considering how happy T2 is here I can only imagine he would be happy for his other name client to land here too.

That does present an interesting scenario. I would not not at all be disappointed to see Kawhi in Charlotte next season. I would rather see Alex or Terrence however. I think Terrence and Hendo would compliment each other nicely in the future.

TerrenceJones1 Terrence Jones
I've been enjoying being a college player & plan on striving to reach my goal of winning #8 here at UK. I can't leave the BBN just yet

Draft just got a little weaker.

doc.end · Post #1155 » by **doc.end** » Sat May 7, 2011 8:36 pm

For real? At least I didn't add him as an option in current draft poll. I guess I might go with just 8+1 options next time till we know for sure who is staying. Not that it would change outcome of the very first picks but still.

OUCH!!!!

I wonder if this is a mistake him(Jones) staying in school. Kentucky is loaded next year with Gilchrist and Davis coming in. Could cut in on Pt for him. We'll see.

SWedd523 · Post #1158 » by **SWedd523** » Sat May 7, 2011 9:54 pm

Their lineup will likely be:

PG Teague
SG Lamb
SF Gilchrist
PF Jones
C Davis

6th Miller (G)
7th Wiltjer (F)

Calipari doesn't go much deeper than 7 anyway, so he'll still get PT. Still a mistake for him though because it'll likely push him out of the lottery next year unless he has a huge year

Post #1159 » by **BigSlam** » Sat May 7, 2011 10:38 pm

So at least it narrows the field at the #9 pick for us.

At the moment it's a toss up for me between Kawhi and Hamilton now.
