    How is Denver imploding to the point of dropping like a rock in our division? Are you attributing that to the firing of George Karl and/or additional circumstances?

    Maybe assuming that Iggy is not going to go back to the Nuggets?

    Scott Howard-Cooper: Rise of Steven Adams continues. A team told me they rated him the 7th-best prospect, now he has a Mon workout in SAC, the team with No. 7. Twitter @SHowardCooper

    According to the link I just gave, 4 of the top 12 mocks have him at 13, 1 at 12, none below 13.

    Under the Most Common picks....it looks like a few think he will go to Sacramento at #7.

    If he goes 7th, that will shake some things up

    RR7, what are the definitions of Tiers 3 and 4? Because that's who we'll be drafting.

    Apparently the Bucks really like Caldwell-Pope. Maybe a trade-down is in the offing?

    Bennett 18lbs overweight rt now at 261lbs. A bit scary. Porter safer. Bennett more upside. RT @shrafel: Who would you pick? Torn.

    Chad Ford ‏@chadfordinsider 39s
    Yes, 261 pounds RT @MrMichaelLee: 261? RT @chadfordinsider: Bennett 18lbs overweight rt now at 261lbs.

    Denver's pick at 27 is available, teams tell Y! Nuggets open to future 1st, or moving back into 30's. Nuggets like their young roster core.

    Boom--there you go, Olshey. Those 8 draft spots could make a huge difference...

    I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, PP.

    From my very superficial research on this draft, 10-40 all seems like a very homogeneous pool of talent. Makes perfect sense to me that DEN prefers to get a guy of similar talent without a guaranteed contract.

    Definitely could make a difference, if the talent evaluators on the Blazers know what they are doing. Batum was the 25th pick. Tony Parker was the 28th pick. Of course, Ginobili was the 57th pick, so the talent evaluators don't always know what they are doing, clearly. ;)

    The kid is 18 lbs over weight during his pre draft work outs? Is he a total fucking moron or is he hurt? I wonder what kind of weight it is. Is it fat or did he try to bulk up too much.

    Bennett's been injured & unable to workout. Combined with lots of travel & his body type, not a huge surprise he gained 18 pounds

    Chad Ford ‏@chadfordinsider 24m
    Don't overreact to Bennett weight news. Guys can lose lots weight. Kevin Love & Deron Williams are two great examples




    With that said Im not sure I could handle another player with weight issues.
