    What green room guy is going to be slipping further than expected and have to show his embarassed mug on national TV? It happens every year.

    I think its going to be Waiters. Waiting around until the mid-teens.

    I think it's going to be Lillard.

    10-20 is more his range, like a few scouts have said.

    Okay I have to admit this made me laugh. MZ saying Waiters will slip, less than a minute later Fez saying it'll be Lillard that will slip.

    Can someone post a list of who got invited to the green room?

    I don't know why, but I think there's a slim chance that MKG slips further than expected. If Paul Pierce can slip to 10, MKG can slip out of the top 6.

    Actually I do know why.... he's not very athletic, his shot looks terrible, and he's playing a position that usually typifies some of the most athletic players in the game. I'm not sold on him at all.

    I don't see MKG slipping past 5. I'd love for it to happen though. The guy is a thoroughbred in the open court and is about as good as it gets at perimeter defense. He has the will to win, too.

    I think if MKG or Robinson makes it to 6 it'll be considered a major "slip" by the media, and both could happen.

    I think Rivers is reached for, and I think Zeller and Ross are the last guys standing. I don't think Ross gets past 18, and I don't think Zeller goes past Boston at 21/22

    Of that group, I'm going to guess Rivers. Everyone talks Rivers, but I think they may all be smoke screens.

    Lamb (shoulder issues) and Leonard are possibilities too.

    Terrence Ross will be a baller. He'll go earlier than people think imo.

    I'd pass on MKG probably. Could see him falling.

    But his shot is so sketch... and he's lacking the athleticism of a Marion or a Carter. Both those guys were amazing in the open floor and had sketchy shots, but could jump out of the gym. MKG seems like a super role player to me. I don't see him as a star, which is what we should be shooting for.

    He plays nothing like Carter. A lot like Marion. Kinda an Artest type guy. Just tough as nails. Agree I don't think he'll be star, but a fringe All-Star and maybe a couple appearances and pain in the ass on defense. I think he'd be a great pair next to Aldridge.

    His draft express video shows him absolutely smothering several players to the point where they go into panic mode. The art of great defense.

    Based on which Mock? This website has Waiters at 24, Ross at 22, and Lillard at 16.

    http://swishscout.com/?page_id=719

    I can't see any of them dropping from those spots.

    If we were to pick up MKG at 6, I would say do a sign-and-trade with Batum.

    Swishscout is fez's favorite place. Surprising if they have waiters going 24. Swishscout must take into account all the cheeseburgers.he will consume after signing that contract.
