    Rush will likely climb. Despite the lackadasical play this year, he has great size and athleticism. He is the type of player who was a lottery pick 2 years ago because of those things and potential. Workouts tend to pick up on those things, and I'm sure will cause him to rise back into late lottery or before 20 at least.

    For similar reasons I think Acie Law may fall to near 20. Also McRoberts will fall some. Don't think he'll get to 26 but u never know.

    If we do our homework, we haven't been doing it in umpteen years, then we will be ready at 26. In a deep draft like this mistakes are made and always someone with talent drops . The Rockets could make a killing but we will need to be patient as our pick will need time and serious NBA Coaching.

    i dunno if neone heard the rumor bout connley and portland but im willing to bet he doesnt get outta the top ten. Portland is tryin to trade up with all those 2nd rounders and some1 to get the #3 pick and get connley there. It was on sportscenter as a topic a while ago but was only mnetioned as a rumor

    Brandon Rush took his name out the draft. I thought he might have slipped to us @ 26. He would've added athleticism and scoring to our team, but he wanted to return to college to continue working on his game once he knew he wouldn't be in the lottery.

    I can see Acie Law dropping to the 20's. He played well last season but he's older than most of the other draft prospects and he's more of a 2 guard in a point guard's body. He is very skinny and he needs to add lots of muscle to his frame.

    Yeah, Rush is out with a torn ACL.

    I could see Noah slipping as low as low as 20. He can't hit anything outside of a layup. I think he could turn out to be a Ben Wallace-type player though, lots of rebounds and a low ppg.
