YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! Talk about one deep-ass draft. Hell, even if we slide a bit in the draft, we could still end up with someone we want/need. J-Will, Yao, Dunleavy, Woods, Butler, er, Nickolaz T. (what's that 19 year-old's name who Rudy scouted?), etc. etc.
At least that is how the Heat feels also. Some of what we have been seeing and hearing appear to be true and not hype. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/sfl-heat050902.story?coll=sfla-sports-front I do not know this person but a 7-2 player is also in the draft. "Wesley Stokes is leaving and Giedrius Rinkevicius has decided not to come. But Jimmy McKinney will arive at Missouri in August and might well play a lot during his freshman season at Missouri. Stokes, a sophomore who lost his job as Missouri's starting point guard this past season, has decided to transfer to another school. Stokes, a Long Beach, Calif., native, reportedly is interested in returning to the West Coast, with San Diego State a possible destination. Stokes, who will remain at Mizzou until the end of the current semester, will have to sit out next season under NCAA transfer rules. "I appreciate the opportunity that I have had here at Missouri," Stokes said in a statement issued by the MU athletics department. "I will miss my teammates and coaches." Stokes was unavailable for further comment. Mizzou also lost one of its recruits for next season when the 7-foot-2 Rinkevicius decided to enter the NBA draft. Rinkevicius, a member of the Lithuanian under-19 junior national team in 2001, is finishing high school at Bridgton Academy in North Bridgton, Maine." ESPN Ranking of Center in HS, and he is #10.
