    You forgot Kendall Brown and EJ Liddell.

    I want the Rox to trade in the draft and pick a couple more guys up.

    I'd add Mark Williams, Dalen Terry, EJ Liddell, Jaylin Williams too.

    A guy under the radar is Moussa Diabate

    His measurable were very quick for his size, players with that level of length and mobility often carve out good careers.

    you could potentially make a team with colors too.

    Brown
    Green

    Next draft you have dariq whitehead and anthony black. lots of options

    ughhh why couldnt the nets have sucked just a little bit more.

    having #14 versus #17 feels like a big difference in this draft.

    Most folks had this pick penciled in at 26 or 27 when the season started, so we have to be happy with 17. To your point, I agree moving up 2-4 spots in this draft would be huge.

    im not a fan of taking a flier on Deing. Dude is a few years away from being a few years away. Would rather take a guy like EJ Lidell

    I like EJ Lidell as well.
    Great post game, long arms and very good team defender.
    Although not matched up against Paolo mostly, during OSU's upset of Duke he did have a monster block on Paolo 1 on 1 and then easily bumped Paolo off and made the game-clinching basket at the end of the game.
    This is before Paolo lost 10-15 lbs.

    Finished with 14 Pts, 14 Rebs 6 Ast and 3 Blks compared to 14 (4-14) and 5 for Paolo.






    Block around 2:00 and basket at 3:35.

    Eason leading with 53%.

    MW is 2nd.

    ?? Tucker has 240 blocks in his career. Hakeem only had 6 seasons with more than that. Not bad for Tucker

    I voted Mark Williams over Eason. I would be delighted if Eason was the pick . It's a tough one for me.
