Still can't believe that little shit, who was tweeting out about knowing Lillard in his Weber State days, started out making really dumb posts here and getting press credentials from us on s2(/JBB) to interview Dwight. Props to Alex (aka Swish)... dude's come a long way...
Agreed... Olshey better be all over that like a hobo on a ham sandwich, if Muhammad were to drop to #10 (unless, of course, something crazy happened & Oladipo were still on the board, too)! My draft day pipe-dream would be for Olshey to snag Oladipo (McLemore, Smart, Porter, or Muahmmad) and then secure a later first rounder to grab Gorgui Dieng. That'd set us up pretty nicely heading into free agency, in my opinion.
Why no talk of Hardaway Jr? He's far from perfect, but he's got all the tools to be very good at the next level and has the pedigree on his side. SG size with PG handles sounds like what we need! Decision making can improve over time, and his shot seems good enough to make his lack of a quick first step not the biggest shortcoming. I see him being a Spreewell type that's better as a pro than in college, given enough time to refine the offensive repertoire. And best of all, we could probably get him for next to nothing by buying a pick or packaging our buttload of early 2nd rounders.

Fraschilla is saying that Len vs. Noel is actually pretty close, and he would only be "mildly surprised" if Len went #1 over Noel. (insider) http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/blog...y-teams-consider-taking-alex-len-nerlens-noel
That's what cracks me up about twitter "insiders" and "experts"....... I can tell you from experience and being around these people that they are NO different than you guys on here. Just people with opinions. Guys like that chump Gulliver from BlazersEdge. He shows up to games and sticks his mic in while other people ask questions. No joke, I have NEVER seen him talk to players face to face. Then goes home to his moms basement and types out his opinion. No different than you guys going to the game and coming back here to S2 and typing out what you saw. Because they landed a press credential doesn't make them experts.

Aw HCP, you're just jealous of this story, which I don't believe. http://sportstwo.com/threads/143443-Family-problems-I-need-some-input?p=2057308#post2057308
Muhammad looks like (a) He's an undersized SF (b) He's all-scorer, nothing else (c) He's one of those guys who looked great in high school but that's his peak - like OJ Mayo or Felipe Lopez. DraftExpress says alarming things about him:
You could be right about a and c, but I think b is wrong. The comparison to him and Tony Allen are pretty good. If he can get develop a more consistent outside shot then he will be a SG because the games I watched he is strong , plays tough D, attacks the basket, and has pretty good handles. To me his biggest weakness is his outside shot and his Dad. He needs to dump his Dad. Hopefully he is not his agent.
