I'm not sure you could say McRoberts "benefited" from playing at Duke. The longer he played there, the more it exposed his weaknesses and lack of work ethic. As a result, he fell from a potential lottery pick to a 2nd rounder. Had he not been seen struggling on national TV against top competition on a regular basis, he might have been drafted in the 1st round. More exposure certainly didn't raise his stock. BNM
Agreed, and if you can get that with a late 1st round pick, that's good value - especially in such a weak draft. BNM
Austin Daye with a pathetic no-step vertial and max vertical. No player in this combine had a max vert of Roy's 41".
Daye was also the slowest player and from the blank spot under bench I would conclude he couldn't lift 185 at all.
Whoever drafts Austin Daye is a moron. The kid is a beanpole. Not only that, he can't jump high, was the slowest player in the sprint, and the second least agile in the agility drill. Compound that, with you watch him, it isn't really all that evident that he has any type of great skills. If this isn't a near sure-fire bust, I don't know what is.
My only point about Daye is that any excitement a GM would hve in drafting him would be to develop him for the next 2-3 years and hope he pans out into something ... I said he's "all upside" because his "right now" is pretty uninspiring. I was just answering the question about why he'd be a mid first rounder, I wasn't saying I thought he was the fifteenth best player in the draft.
Daye's ceiling, IMO, is Brian Cook. 6'11" 190lbs and had one of the worst combines in recent memory, he has bust written all over him.
Anyone notice Psycho T had the same bench press number as Blair? All I am hearing is that he wont be strong enough to play in the NBA. He is 6' 9.5'' with shoes on, 234 pounds and benches just as much as DeJuan Blair. AND he has a longer wingspan then Blake Griffin. Although that is not saying much lol
