    What do you think about this guy? I think he's being tremendously undervalued as we head into the Draft.

    I like him too. I think he's potential rotation player on a good team.

    How's Morey done with top 5 picks in the 2nd round prior?

    I have no clue what's going on, and I have read the entire thread. I guess I should have done that first.

    I see where the confusion started.

    You replied yesterday a comment that poster made in mid April, before the draft deadline.

    He's a tweener in the Marcus Morris mold.

    I like Livio. He did great at the Nike Hoop Summit. If he can hang with NBA 3's defensively, I think he'd be a great pick up. I still like Ennis though. I don't know much about Covington.

    Carl Landry, Sergio Llull, Jermaine Taylor, Joey Dorsey.

    Only Landry has really panned out, but Llull was a good risk because he does have NBA talent.

    I have this strong feeling they're going to pick an international player who will come over the following season. Any good international players?

    Need to draft a white player, if our past two successes show anything.
    Muscala is my boy.

    Looks like Carl Landry was his best top 5 2nd round pick and Joey Dorsey was his worst top 5 2nd round pick when he passed on Chalmers, Asik and DeAndre Jordan. And taking #14 Marcus Morris over #15 Kawi Leonard was a head scratcher as well. In Morey we trust

    With the rise of Mike Muscala, I wouldn't be surprised if Jeff Withey fell to us and we ended up taking him.

    I've seen Withey in the mid second round in a lot of mocks recently. I wonder if we'll take him.

    Withey would be a good pick.

    A lot of people will make the lazy comparison to Cole Aldrich because they're both centers that played at Kansas, but Withey is waaay more athletic than Aldrich and better offensively.

    Trade back, get $, draft a Euro and stash him overseas a few years.

    So in other words, you want to draft someone who'll never ever play in the NBA.

    Either trade up a bit for Ledo or trade back for Vander Blue or Mark Lyons.

    Jeff Withey is a nobody.
