    One of those listings can't be right because Wilcox does look bigger than EG

    It may be distributed differently. WIlcox is muscular and some have said he has the highest upside in college. Can anyone tell me why? I see he's a great athlete, but does he bring anything else to the table?

    Back to the weight thing. At one point in their careers, Sean Elliot was listed with the exact same physical dimensions as Xavier McDaniel (6'8" 220). Yet, if you look at them, Xavier looked alot bigger.

    His bio hasn't been updated since his incoming freshman physical stats, he's easily 240 right now. That's not huge but it's a good start for a possible center. :)

    One thing that sucks is that there isnt a lot of really good center prospects this year. There is only Borchardt and Marcus, thats pretty much it. Who even knows about Ming? The league is so desparate for centers that they are willing to search in China for Shawn Bradley's long lost Asian brother.

    I think it might be a good idea to look into our small forward lacking.

    Wow, that pic puts in perspective how big Ming is. He looks like an athlete though. Hmmm.....I'm starting to wonder.

    Yeah, looking at Chris Wilcox you can easily tell he's not 220. The fact that Griffin is listed as having the same weight should be evidence enough.

    Its not that he's just muscular. I think he'd probably be among the top 5 most athletic big men in the NBA. He could outrun almost any big man down the court and he has such good hands that he can catch it on the move. Did anyone see that play in the Duke game where he caught an alley-oop pass with one hand and slapped the backboard with the other. It wouldn't have been so incredible if the pass wasn't thrown directly over his head while he was sprinting on the fast break. It was almost freakish looking. Guys with that type of athleticism will make it the NBA in one way or another. Just look at Ben Wallace. And yes, I do think he could develop a decent offensive game, but I don't think he's going to be a spectacular offensive player.

    If we draft another Terp, Les should just give the team to Francis and Rud'ys job to Gary Williams.

    I don't know I thinking now we really would be better without YOa Ming. I think we should get AMare Stoudemire. He is a real talent I was wacthing him last night on the Highschool MC Donalds SLam Dunck Contest. He has ups, and a attiude. I think he could be our BEN WAllace of a player, or the Kenyon Martin of the team giving out punishing fouls, and basically being the imtemadator of the team. I would be a great fit for us and might inspire us to play some defense. He is just a Highschooler though to me thats alot to ask, but he seems like a special kid. I don't know just my thoughts:D :D :D

    I don't have much faith in this site if they project us wasting a 2nd round pick(#35) on another PG

    There are only two guards the Rockets would take in this draft and they probably won't be able to get either one unless we get lucky.

    -Jason Williams
    -Juan Dixon

    Who thinks Juan Dixon will be around in the 2nd round?

    Also who thinks that Memphis will draft a PG first? Why would Golden State pass on Jason Williams?
