    Isn't this guy pegged as a sure top 10 pick? Top 5?

    Dude looks really solid, appears that he could play the 3 or the 4. I can't figure out why he doesn't take more shots. He is the most skilled player on his team, so he should be a lot more aggressive. Still though, would look great in a Rockets uniform.

    Cool story bro:

    My girlfriend's brother taught this guy when he was in either 8th or 9th grade and would once "lost" his homework so that he'd have proof he knew him before he was in the NBA.

    End cool story bro.

    Fast forward two years and Poythress has not turned out to be quite what I expected.

    Today it was announced he's out for the year after a torn ACL. I didn't think he'd still be playing as a junior, but he's a very good defensive player... I wonder what his future is in the league.

    Undersized big man who played at college extensively and has had knee problems? Doesn't sound like a Morey guy to me.
