    Magic prefer Oladipo over McLemore but would be tempted by Noel if Cavs pass.

    Could be Noel knee red flag a smokescreen by a San Antonio protege, Henigan or a team a few spots lower

    A veteran team personnel member said he can't remember an NBA draft that was harder to project.

    If the #Knicks and #Nets want to take a backup big, a need for both, they like Gorgui Dieng and Tony Mitchell. Two key guys to watch for.


    I still think Dieng has the best potential to be one of the best centers from this draft...I don't get why POR would not be interested...

    He is ready to play now...has a high bball IQ, still has room to grow, great pick and roll player in that he sets good picks, can hit the ft jumper, make a pass etc...can run the floor, can recover on pick and roll defense....He was the leader of Louisville's great defense....

    Was just thinking the same thing. Last year people were all over Zeller and Shabazz and thought it would be a pipe dream to get either one. Now, both might very well be available at number 10 when we pick. Go figure. I guess the grass will always be greener next year. I'm literally hoping that for the grass at my house.

    Hearing Suns are offering Cavs 5 & 30 for 1. Not yet known how Cavs view the offer. Suns after Noel.

    ROFL Didn't another report mention that they red flagged his knee?

    Player 1: 6'11.75" 7'4.75" wing 9'2" reach 234 lbs. 9.9 pts 5.9 reb 1.5 blocks
    Player 2: 6'11.75" 7'3.75" wing 9'2" reach 220 lbs. 10.5 pts 9.5 reb 4.4 blocks

    Both Freshmen. Unless Noel had a leg falling off, you take him at 10. It won't happen though.

    Amazing how similar Noel and LMA are in size though.

    I would never consider Noel at 10

    Take that serious knee injury to another team

    Draft thoughts: 1) Oladipo goes top 2, 2) Zeller doesn't slip past 8, 3) I wouldn't touch Shabazz, 4) think Pacers will take guard/trade.

    That would be a good scenario for POR...likely McCollum or KCP sitting there or an unexpected player dropping (Bennett\Burke)

    I agree and I hope we get a mid 1st round pick somehow. Maybe 15-21 where I think he will go. I like him especially drafting at those positions.

    #Nets trade talks w/ Minnesota for MarShon Brooks still in the mix. If the Nets don't make that move, they could take a backup big at 22.

    Someone explain why we want to draft a Lillard clone? I seriously don't get it.

    Teams are eager to see what Celtics do with 16th pick. If they go point guard, could be an indication they'll look to dump Rondo, too.

    Ken Berger@KBergCBS1 minute ago
    If Celtics decide to rebuild around Rondo, teams view North Carolina's Reggie Bullock as a possible pick for Boston at No. 16.

    I was about to say Davis, until I saw the low block numbers. I thought he was higher than that.

    Re Jimmer-to-Jazz? Greg Miller admitted Corbin must improve as a defensive coach. You think Jazz really want a guard who can't play NBA D?

    As others have, hearing Zeller is being strongly considered at four by the Charlotte Bobcats. Len could slip a bit if he doesn't go No. 1.

    Rumours have been that it is Cho who really likes Zeller...Question is can he convince MJ after Biyombo pick?
