    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -- Channing Frye, whose NBA prospects were boosted by a strong showing in the NCAA tournament for Arizona, believes he's the second-best center available in the June 28 draft and should be a lottery pick.

    ``I feel very sure about (being a lottery pick),'' Frye said at a news conference here Friday. ``I have proven myself to be the second best center (behind Utah's Andrew Bogut). Teams want a person with character. They want a center who is versatile, a center/forward. I think I can fit that role.''

    Various reports have Frye projected as a top 10 selection, or possibly being taken by the New York Knicks at No. 8 or the Golden State Warriors at the ninth spot. </div>

    I read this yesterday and now with Frye?s additional weight and explosiveness, he is the best center in the draft behind Bogut. The main questions on his game was his weight and intensity level, but now that he?s been playing more intense as was seen in the NCAA tournament and in workouts, he?s pretty much a no-brainer for teams lacking size at center. The only thing I?m surprised in is why there aren?t anymore teams after him; he?s a tall, skilled, athletic, big man and definitely has a future in the NBA in my opinion.
