    Pittman's main problem could be his weight. He seems to fluctuate alot.

    Hollinger pretty much sums up my feelings:

    I've kept a close on a few prospects this season and I gotta say Aldrich is living up to the hype.

    Defensively he'll be at least as good as Przybilla. Think Brook Lopez with Joel's defense. He also sets monster picks.

    most every team is in a constant state of rebuilding.

    hope for the best/prepare for the worst but always do your very best in the moment regardless of the circumstances

    Demarcus Cousins or bust. Best center out of that conference since Shaq IMO. Great rebounder. Great footwork. Nice touch. Agressive. Is kind of a dickhead, and I like that in a player.

    Too bad for us that he's going in the top five.

    It's hard to trade to the top couple of spots. #5, not so hard. If he stays somewhere around there, we have a shot.

    Well if he keeps playing like he is, there is a good chance he might even beat out his team mate for the #1 draft spot. Because it wasn't John Wall carrying Kentucky to victory yesterday, that is for sure.

    Depending on how our record shakes out (lottery or not) I think it's far more likely we go for a guy like Ekpe Udoh, Solomon Alabi, Greg Monroe (meh), or one of the other forward-centers in that middle range of the first round.

    Cousins production for the time he gets is insane.

    16 PPG 10 RPG in 22 MPG

    I'd still rank him below Aldrich mainly because of defense.

    Cousins also has the potential to become an absolute headcase like Artest.
