    Someone please rush to Francis3's house to make sure he's still alive.

    Martin slips, falls, and hurts his ankle.

    March madness plows thru and new heroes are made.

    Martin slips in the draft, falls, and puts on a Rockets jersey.

    MARTIN BABY!! YEAH!

    Broken Leg.

    Whoa, sucks for Cincinnati, and Martin.

    What do you think that will do to his draft status?

    Damn... Utter chaos. It'll make the draft that much more exciting this year.

    I hope Kenyon hadn't started spending his 3 year, $11,000,000.00 contract yet.

    *Ouch*

    You gotta love college bball... new heroes different days of the week.

    Still want to draft him, now that he has proven he is not invinceable?

    Say goodnight to Cincinnati...they just lost the National Championship!!

    I don't care what the experts say....Martin's stock has just dropped! I seriously doubt he'll be back in form by Draft Day. Broken leg is one thing, but ligament damage is another!

    Well I guess it's time to jump off the Kenyon bandwagon....yeehaaa..ouch twisted my ankle.

    No way would I waste a pick on him now.It's way too risky.How about Mickeal ?

    This just means that all the teams have moved down a slot. Sure, anyone who wants to take the risk on him will pick him up. But seriously, a broken leg? Means that teams like us, who will be picking hmm around 8-13, don't quite get player we originally would of gotten b/c teams 1-7 have already drafted him.

    Man, broken leg and ligament damage?

    That's unfortunate for Kenyon and whatever team was planning on drafting him. I hope he can still contribute in the NBA.

    Injuries suck. Just ask ..... ME!

    I have a dream.........his name's Hakeem.

    Broken fibula AND ligament damage? If anyone has come back from something like this, it must have taken at least a year, maybe more. Plus, ESPN is reporting that screws will be inserted into the fibula to stabilize it. Dude's stock has dropped WAY down, maybe to 2nd round, and I would not take a chance on him anymore.

    By the way, Cincy lost the game to St. Louis...BY TEN POINTS!!!!!

    Terrence Morris is a fool if he doesn't come out now.

    Not that I care either way about Cinncy, but that just sucks. I hate to see the big guns like him not get to mix it up in the turny, a little luster is gone right there. Can anyone explain how it happened???

    As far KM, I would still use a late or maybe even mid 1st rounder on him. After all, Bryant Young is 95% of himself 1 year after about snapping his leg in two. I am trying to think of similar BB examples but none immediately come to mind (what were Ewing and Lafrez's injuries last year?, did Manning have some good years after his 1st injury?? Elliots had some pretty good injuries too right?). A 90% Kenyon in my mind is still worth a first round pick.

    OHH MAN! I feel sorry for him. His stock is going to go down. But still he is the greatest. Probably gives us a better chance of getting him.

    ANYONE KNOW WHAT HOSPITAL HE IS IN?

    GET WELL SOON KENYON MARTIN

    Now I just hope Cincy gets a 2 seed in the same region where Texas gets a 3 seed.

    No way he even goes in the lottery, now. Those teams drafting in the high 1-15 slots need help now. With Kenyon out for 1 year+, my guess is that some veteran team not in need of immediate help will take a chance on him somewhere at 25+.

    Man, that sucks for Kenyon.
