    He’s a beat. And he can shoot. I love this pic.

    Will be fun to watch Harrell and Capela catching alleys in the summer league.

    So we drafted Dan Langhi and Joey Dorsey again, because the originals worked out so well?

    I love this pick.

    The guy probably won't play much next year (except in the Valley of course), but I love his work ethic. I fully expect him to work on his jump shot relentlessly and turn into a real impact player by his 2nd or 3rd year in the NBA. He seems like the type of guy who takes pride and works hard, and if he is as driven off the court as he is on it, the dude is going to grow as a player.

    Sort of like Bowen or Leonard, who came in as tough nosed players who played great D and worked hard, but couldn't shoot, I see this guy putting the work in to add shooting to his game. Imagine his toughness, hustle and defense with a solid jump shot.

    I'm still trying to sell myself on Dekker, but Harrell is going to end up being a great pick in a year or two from now. The kind of pick that gives good teams the depth they need to be great teams.

    Boy, I sure hope they add a hack-a-dwight rule where they can't do it any more. Foul city.

    His lower base may be better for him to defend bigger players. Look at Chuck Hayes and Ben Wallace.

    I like this pick a lot, I believe he can be a very solid energy big off the bench. He also adds to the list of poor free throw shooting bigs to our team though....
