NBA: *** Official NBA Draft Thread ***

[Cy$]

what's a good player comparison for THT? It's kinda tough for me to come up with one for him. I was thinking a poor man's Carmelo with worse shooting.

I think his body type and movement is a lot like Charles Barkley* actually.

At times his foot work around the rim reminded me of Tinsley in some ways.

*NOT saying he's the next Charles Barkley for anyone who needs to be outraged.

He's likely had better overall teams that didn't win it all.

Now, Texas on the other hand...there should be at least better overall seasons happening there.

Texas has had NBA level 5s recently and that’s been about it. They get a lot of highly rated guards that just aren’t that good.

That's not too bad of a comparison really.

That’s a good one.

Once they’re going pro they can get pretty large advances from the agents.

Grayer bought a white Fiero

THT makes his first appearance on Bilas' board at 10th best available after the 25th pick.

Yeah but should they be better than what they've been?

Watching them play it often looks like square peg type of stuff going on.

Aah the American Ferrari. Good investment.

Is there any chance THT would come back if he falls far enough?

 

[NWICY]

I'm perfectly fine with Shaka staying at Tx. They can draw the talent but for some reason he can't coach them (at least hasn't been able to yet) Sort of reminds me of the Greg McDermott yrs at ISU. Looks like they should be good but usually underachieve.

 

[c.y.c.l.o.n.e.s]

With three taken in the top ten, Duke fans have to wonder how Coach K couldn't win it all.

Calipari has taken 4 teams to the final four in ten years - which is impressive - but he has only won one national championship with all of those rosters full of one and done players.

yeah, barring injury i think wiggington could have done himself a huge financial favor by staying another year. was projected in even the second round at any point this season? maybe he was just over school and wanted to make some cash and has the confidence to simply know he'll make it out of the G-League and onto a roster in a few years.

 

[LarryISU]

ACC really putting a lot of guys into the League. But then they do have three really good teams.

He can’t...he gone.

You can’t re enter the draft again..

I think Duke has been to the F4 twice in 10, maybe 15, years. They’ve been beaten by 15 seeds just as often. Duke just won it all when they got there. Cal took an 8 seed to a title game.
