Anyone have a link to the press conference? Supposed to have introduced our new picks and talked some Howard stuff.

I don't think he is a banger like Bass. I see a young KG.

Yup. A young KG. That's what I think he is too.

I'm pretty high on Nicholson, myself, but let's not get carried away. KG was a freak athlete and Nicholson looks like he can barely get off the ground. KG was taken out of high school with the fifth pick, Nicholson was taken as a 4th-year senior with the nineteenth pick -- in a draft widely considered one-deep.

poor man's hakeem....but without the Athleticism....Drew has crazy footwork in the post....fakes and counters....you have to have high BBIQ to pull those off consistently and with how sharp those moves are you can tell he put the time in to hone his skills......but to be honest though Drew has the potential to be very unique.....has potential to be a great rebounder....shotblocker.....he can put up points in the post....he can do it Mid-Range....he can do it long range......he can run the floor well and run around screens very well.....to be quite honest i only see a few weaknesses....there is a reason why Drew was rising up the draft board fast....he should of went higher.....

The crazy thing is i mean think about it who in the NBA right now can do all of the things Andrew can do? which player? i know he has yet to play a game but i'm going on just the skillset....who in the NBA has great post moves/footwork...good mid range game.....good long range game.....good shotblocker.....takes charges and runs the floor well....maybe KG? but he's not a good 3pt shooter....maybe Dirk? but he's not a great defender and he's not really amazing in the post in terms of footwork and positioning.....now to be clear i'm not comparing them as players just the skillset....so don't flame lol

the more i think about Drew's game the more i see the potential Rob was talking about dude could be a gem...All that and he has a good head on his shoulders and seems genuine....i could use some genuine right now

As a physics major, I am waiting for the O-Sen to ask Nicholas his impression of the Higgs Boson, and whether 4 sigmas is "proof."

My favorite news article on the topic was titled "God found under Switzerland." Hmm.

I'm so sold on Drew that I'm ready to use the Stretch Provision on Big Baby or send him off in the Dwight trade.

Andrew joins DX! Oh noes!

His post game looks very, very good.

Oh, and just to get my chip in here... Nothing about this guy impresses me, he doesn't fill a need for us, and I just can't get excited about another potentially run-of-the-mill bench player. Let's hope I'm wrong
