    Sorry if this has been posted already, but props to Fox Sports for finally giving fans of the draft what they have been sorely lacking -- video of these damn high schoolers.

    Very cool highlight clips on their site of Curry, Chandler, Kwame Brown, Diop and Cisse.

    http://www2.foxsports.com/nba_draft/

    From what I saw -- Diop, not Curry, looks like he's been Shaq-sized. Curry looks like a bigger Chris Webber. Chandler has some vicious blocks and watch the energy of Cisse (how he follows up his own shots)

    Clutch,

    watched the clips

    Brown- physically looks simlar to Webber, however all you see is blocks and dunks, not sure about post game or even mid range j

    Cisse- love the hustle and there are some nice blocks, assuming the knee is fine, would be a great pick at #23 or early second round if we have a pick. Both Cisse and Brown seem very well developed for high schoolers.

    Chandler- Like the shooting technique and range, nice 3, looks physically like he could play the 3 spot, the dribbling skills even look ok, no way he slips past #5

    Curry- He's a big boy, is there some tractor traylor potential!!! Doesn't lokk that tall Nice post moves and fadeaway and seems like he has some hops for his weight. Reckon his career could go either way. Reminds a big of the energetic 76er Barkley....

    Diop- WOW... He is really in great size proportions for a 7fter. Definitely the baby Shaq. The blocks look great, but really how hard can it be considering the size of opposition. However the killer for this guy is the nice post moves, even a jump hook, very impressive

    Smeg
    Diop

    Diop does look great, and he's already used to ugly uniforms! Get this guy!!

    When this guy started smoking 40 years ago, people had no idea it was bad for you. People had to guess based on the hacking cough, shortness of breath, and bloody phlegm

    girl you looks good won't you mock that draft up?!

    Amen to that!

    This is one high schooler who could be worth paying a lot to get, and taking the risks. If there were anyone else in the draft who was hands down the top center, I might feel differently.

    Re-sign the Dream, move Cato, bring in Diop, and watch the post improve.

    Was Chandler playing in a 6'4" and under league? In most of those highlights, there's nobody even remotely close to his size.

    I think it was more like a 5'9 and under.. Those guys were tiny.. not a very realistic video for a NBA prospect.
