    We had an article in our local NC paper stating that Joe Forte would be declaring for the NBA draft.

    Apparently, he has selected an agent because part of the story detailed how his mother had resigned her job of 18 years at HP to go to work for this sports agency.

    The article further stated that Forte was expecting to be drafted before the mid-point of Round 1.

    Ah yes. With the way these guys are coming out, we may be able to acquire a couple of studs in this draft. [​IMG]

    If we land all three picks then I would draft Forte but if we only have 2 picks I would try to get a SF and a PF/C (K. Johnson)

    Lil francis,

    Just my impression of things Rudy and CD have said, but i think they are going to depend on the zone (Cato was a great goalie in college) for defense instead of actual talent while ammassing lots of firepower on offense.

    I'm thinking the best Sf (3 pt shot or outstanding athletism required) then a Jason Collins type pick with the second pick, someone tall that can hit open shots, not a complete liability on defense, and rebound.

    It would be nice if Jason Richardson fell to us at 13.
