    So for a guy like former University of Louisville forward Ellis Myles, who probably won't distinguish himself on talent alone, his trademark toughness and all-around game has helped create a buzz about his draftability.

    Myles came to Chicago with precious few mentions in any mock drafts, but he has helped himself with his rebounding, passing and ball handling.

    Sidney Green, a longtime NBA player who moved into coaching, most recently at Florida Atlantic, and recently joined the league as a consultant, compared Myles to one of his former teammates with the New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls.

    "He reminds me of a Charles Oakley type," said Green, who has helped coach Myles' camp team this week. "Myles is a winner, he's a banger, he's willing to do whatever it takes to make his team successful, rebound, score in the post, make the right pass."

    Myles raised his eyebrows at the comparison.

    "Oakley, that's not a bad guy to compare me to," Myles said. " ? Anybody who's undersized and plays power forward, that's who I'm going to be compared to."</div>
