    Meyers bends at the knees before every set shot like he's a little bitch who hardly has enough strength to shoot from that deep.

    Back to the rumor, how do we actually get up to 7?

    I don't want to give up all three picks just to move up for Collins. Want more shots on goal if he busts.

    I just think you lose credibility as a coach if you dont play the best players. Few played his upperclassmen over his best player that to me says Few chose politics over production. I watched a few games this season Collins and mostly he was just a pretty nice player but he took his game up a notch when the lights were on. What really changed my view of him was watching him work/shoot and listening to him in pre-draft interviews. He's a smart kid and an obvious gym rat two qualities that fit hand in glove with our franchise.

    I don't think he's much of a threat to bust. His rebounding and shot blocking can translate immediately. He already better than someone like Noah and on a cheap contract, which this team desperately needs.

    Politics over production? Brah, they were within minutes of winning the national championship. In college basketball you win with veteran leadership unless you have like 3 freshman who are going top 10 in the draft. Williams-Goss was the best player on that team. Does it make him the best pro prospect? No. Thats not how it works in college basketball. Karnowski ate up the middle, was a great passing big and had soft touch. He won the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar award for best college center for a reason.

    I don't think Collins would trade his decision to go to Gonzaga over again. He went to the Championship game and is going to be a lotto pick.

    As much as I love the idea, I think asking for a stud defensive backup center on a great contract along with a top 10 pick is getting a tad greedy.

    Actually scratch that, if we manage to get up to #7 and still have a pick on our hands, I'd package those two and a future pick to move up to #4 or higher. Send that pick along with Harkless/Aminu/Crabbe for Porzingis and Melo.

    That might not be far off....

    Celtics apparently going hard after Porzingis right now and they can offer way more than we could so I think the Porzingis wish has sailed
