    Meh. I'm not buying a lot of the shit that Ford's spewing. I see late 1st at best in his future.

    NV is right, you shouldn't listen to the short fat Jew from NY, you should listen to the tall, vegan Jew from Israel (me)

    I apologize for that remark. I tend to drink, post, generalize, and delete a lot whilst drunk. To edit the remark, I guess I'd say that it just so happens a lot of the guys that are "experts" are short, fat "Northeasterners." (There may be someone who breaks the mold occasionally, but the "experts" are usually at least two out of the three stereotypes I listed... I've got a point of reference from seeing them around AAU competitions.)

    The point I was rambling on about remains the same though... a lot of people who never watched these guys play are taking the opinions of unqualified "draft experts," and they're in turn posting their opinions on these players as if they know their game. Where were all of these posters during the college basketball season though? Presumably not watching the prospects play...

    We've got a thread of posters giving their draft comparisons for the players. How many of these guys have seen them actually play more than once (at best). I'm calling bullshit on most of the posters in those threads. The threads should be titled, "Based on Jonathan Givony's review of this player, what's your comparison for him?"

    I usually don't watch many college games but this year I noticed they're televised almost daily on ESPN or FoxSports here in Israel and decided I'll do some scouting... And I'm sorry about what I said in the Pierre Jackson discussion, I do appreciate your posting, you know a lot about college basketball, no doubt. I wish you were a Blazers fan but nobody׳s perfect and it's not like you're trolling like I did on ClutchCity (Rockets site) years ago. I got into a heated discussion telling them Rasheed Wallace is better than Scottie Pippen until they couldn't stand me anymore and sent Pippen to Portland for Brian Shaw ;)

    Out of sheer coincidence, I watched Batum play Gallinari in France in 2007, where I still thought Batum was intriguing, but Gallinari was a man-child. Couldn't be stopped.

    When I retire, maybe a team would let an old guy like me scout games and watch tape. Seems like there is a market for guys like that.

    I've also seen Batum in Europe. His team played Maccabi Tel-Aviv and he had 20-something points in a perfect shooting game (didn't miss one shot). Didn't know he'll become such a defensive force, though.

    And where would you have been RIGHT after your teammate just hit the game winner?

    That's right on the floor with him celebrating like I'm sure most of us in this forum.
    The cat is a selfish DOUCHE.

    I havent seen a lot of him and I know he is skilled but Im surprised that 6'7" PF Bennett is projected as a top 5 pick.

    I am surprised as well even with the fact he has extra long arms. Porter is the other one who continues to surprise me. I need to watch their videos tonight.

    I bet Porter is going to be a great glue player or 3rd option. I just dont see him having the all-round game and then take the next step like Roy did for example.
