After that it's tough. If Whiteside is in this draft put him at #3. I love Cousins(Giggidy), but I struggle seeing him in our system, so it's a bit of a knock. On a slower half-court team he'll be a stud, though.


j2j is just far too low...

Wall and Turner will both be outshined by this kid come workout time :wink:


Really? I have him going 2nd to Undrafted. Dude is a scrub.


Not to mention his Shawn Kemp-esque 10 children by 8 different women.

I'm assuming that the science here was like the science in the film Twins, but instead of a "milkshake" you made "scrambled eggs."

Funny cause that was pretty much exactly what I was thinking. You know how in the Simpsons there's an evil clone in Shelbyville for everyone in Springfield? I think you're my Shelbyville Clone.

You're either calling me inbred, or trying to distract me so you can make a play for my hot cousin. You're not fooling anyone, j2j.

Block shots, defend, finish inside, catch passes (he's got good hands), and run the floor. From what I saw watching the Duke game, he did all of those things well. It's tough to say if he does anything else, though, because his team's guards would rather chuck up contested 3's than pass him the ball.

thats a lot of pluses. I haven't gotten to watch them yet, but his eFG% and Georgia Tech's defensive ranking seem to back up what you're saying

What's the guard's name from South Florida that basically just single-handedly beat Pitt/Georgetown?
Kahn is the best GM in the NBA, and I GUARANTEE everyone on here that the Wolves win a playoff series by 2012.

I'm guessing you are referring to Dominique Jones....

Anyone interested in Udoh from Baylor? He was always a good defender but has shown some offensive game this season, I think he could be a nice pick later on. He's 21 I think...

No, that's basically a theme of this year's PF/C prospects however.

have college teammates ever gone 1 - 2 before? I'm wondering because you have to assume Kentucky is gonna get a lot more tournament burn than Ohio State and its not out of the question that Cousins could get some #2 pick buzz eventually if he keeps playing like he is.
