    Batum at the 2 isn't a great fit. I think MKG could play the SG spot like Iguodala.

    Why? That's where he plays on the French team. And he was quite successful playing there next to Wallace in some games.

    Derrick Rose, John Wall, Brandon Knight, Eric Bledsoe, DeMarcus Cousins, Marcus Camby, to name a few, are solid NBA players.

    Tyreke Evans' best season was his rookie year; NBA coaching seems to have hampered his game.

    Kind of an odd criticism, IMO. Is there a college coach who has put out more solid NBA players since Derrick Rose entered the NBA?

    I also hear that Derrick Rose guy is a bust too since Calipari did such a bad job with him.

    Had no idea Camby went to Kentucky. Was he there before UMass?

    Or was Calipari the coach at UMass at the time Camby was there?

    Calipari was the one that recruited Camby to UMass.

    Maybe the guy was talking about Knight?

    An 11PER with just about as many turnovers as he had assists.

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking. We went from the article which just lumped all UK players together to all Calipari's kids over his "coaching" career.

    I'm on a low functioning level right now after about 3 hours of sleep last night.

    Listening to a few scouts talk about Robinson makes me want him on this team even more.

    Basically said that Robinson has a very similar build of Karl Malone at the same age and will continue to get stronger.

    Same height as well, roughly: 6'7" 5/8 (Malone, 1992 Olympics) 6'7.75" (Robinson)

    Because he was the fire in the belly of that title team. He has good size for his position and does two things that are beneficial in today's NBA:

    He runs the court and finishes well and actually gives his all on defense.

    But in all of the games I saw, and on the draft websites, it lists one of his main weaknesses as creating his own shot. For someone with no jump shot to speak of, that's a killer....isn't it? He is just not going to score very well at the next level, and do you really want to spend a top half of the lottery pick on someone who won't score?

    Didn't you just vote to draft Drummond 3rd?

    I did. Playoffs are won in the low post. Both on offense and defense
