    Matthews said he likes Lillard's pace, efficiency and demeanor. "It's almost like he's been here for a while," he said.

    Beal looks like a clone of E-Gordon.

    So... Minny has drawn up an offer sheet, shown it to Olshey, but Batum hasn't signed it, and won't before SUNDAY?

    Is it an offer sheet that Batum COULD sign right now, or does Minny have to unload a shitload more salary first?

    This Satoransky cat looks alright. Doubt he lasts past his first contract though, typical of Euro's.

    I knew he'd go top-3.

    Jenkins looks like he's a very good value pick (#23?)

    MickZagger said all along that Jenkins was the best shooter in the draft.

    Hasn't been formally submitted. Probably will Sunday, according to Olshey

    Olshey compares Joel Freeland, whom we're waiting to interview, to a young Nick Collison.

    The weird shadow, I thought of Phil Hartman's character:

    BTW, I was told by Randy bodek that I will need 5 minutes of the first summer league game to decide if I like Leonard or not. Can't wait. Also says Lillard is a tier two PG in the NBA, which in his book is an all star. He says somewhere between Westbrook and Lawson

    What is he insinuating with Leonard? He's been impressing in scrimmages.

    Leonard is going to be a good player. Lot of crow eating on this board in a couple years.

    I'd wait to give him that compliment until we see how well his "franchise" PG and C do this year...

    What's your prediction for his most likely productivity? McGee? Hawes? Hibbert (I wish)?

    I never saw him play in college, but I can only think of one center that was thought of as a project coming into the league that ended up being a good player (Bynum).

    In MM's defense, he didn't say Olshey is a good GM. Olshey does talk a pretty good game... I'll give him that at this point.

    Hope you're crossing your fingers that they don't pan out. You invested a lot of time, energy and temper tantrums in hating on those picks.

    No comparisons really come to mind right now. I'm a big comparison guy, too. He has athleticism like McGee, but a much smarter player. Thats what seperates him from other Centers for me, he's has great leaping ability and can run the floor really good for a legit 7 footer. I'm not a big white center guys, either. Never have been. But a guy being white and a Center isn't the only premise I'm going to use to hate on a player.

    I think we need to get a good big man coach to show him the ropes.
