    NBAdraft.net anounced that Maybyner "Nene" Hilario 6-10 230 PF (Brazil) declared for the draft. The site compares him to Dream.

    If I had a dime for every "baby Jordan", "New Hakeem", "the next Bird" that entered the draft...

    Hell, let's draft him! My Portuguese is pretty good: get me a job writing press releases for all the Brazilians who'll follow this guy!

    The more people of good quality coming in makes the #15 pick more valuable. One more and we would have a good shot at Amare at that pick. Interestingly, Woods has dropped some.

    Amare has stated that if he isn't a top 10 pick, he will go to the University of Memphis.

    Yinka Dare was called the next Hakeem, and so was Neon Budo in blue chips.

    Are we seriously considering adding yet another power forward as nbadraft.net suggests? If Maurice Taylor is fully healed, we'll have our hands full with just getting enough playing time for our top three power forwards as it is. Glen Rice and/or Walt Williams or Cuttino/Oscar spot duty isn't the answer for our small forward.
