    It's not, my sleeper isn't a sleeper no more! Great pick by Milwaukee. Fits their M.O. when it comes to reaching for long, lanky, athletic players with skill.

    Because he's not, at all. Maybe if you watched a real college basketball team in Gonzaga instead of Oregon State you would understand.

    I'd be super impressed. CJ and Dame can't do it, so if Collins can then it was worth it.

    Tj leaf at 18 is such a KP pick. Low upside white guy.

    Lots of good players available at 20....

    Calipari, love him or hate him, has a nice model.

    So Gary Payton wasn't a real basketball player? I mean, I know you mean now, but maybe he watched them back then too?

    Exactly. People can't get over the tint of his skin though.

    Maybe, Meyers comparisons are just extremely unintelligent and solely based off the likeness of their skin. It pisses me off.

    So OG is still available with 6 picks to go before our turn.

    CJ and Dame don't play his position. Collins does.

    Then why are you comparing them for reasons other than their skin?

    Collins was one of the best defenders in the country last year. Meyers is awful. Collins knows exactly where to be and has great timing on blocking shots. Meyers is that opposite of that.

    If we can grab OG or Giles at 26 I'll be thrilled. Then trade Vonleh for a second and grab someone else.

    Coach K wants to stop that sales job even if it costs him some prospects. He's getting his ass kicked by Calipari. So he wants to get rid of the 1 and Done. That is Calipari's meal ticket, baby. Coach K knows he wouldn't lose as many raw prospects as Kentucky because Duke will always be desirable to kids as an educational fall back option.
