    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">:Are you nervous?

    Bosh: Yeah, I’m a little nervous but I just try to use that and turn it into positive energy. I’m more excited than anything else.

    Q:If the projection for you was more like 7-12, as opposed to top five, would you be sitting here right now?

    Bosh: It’s kind of tough to answer that question. Probably not. I have to be honest, probably not. Just to know that I could move up a few spots, I probably would have stayed in college.

    Q: Do you plan on going back and getting your degree?

    Bosh: I’m going back. I’m definitely going to get my degree. I’m not quitting school. Most people, they get the wrong impression, just because you’re stepping to another level in basketball, they think you’re quitting on school, which is not the case.

    Q:How do you feel your individual workouts went?

    Bosh: I think they went well. Each one was challenging. I worked out with great players. All in all, I think I had good workouts.

    Q:There’s talk about many teams wanted to trade up for you. How does that make you feel?

    Bosh: Well, there are a lot of rumors. I’m not aware of all of them. Whatever happens on draft night, or after that, is okay with me. It all depends on the GM’s involved, the coaches and what they feel their team needs.

    Q: Do you feel like you can come in right away and have success?

    Bosh: That’s up to the coaches. I’m going to work as hard as I can to be able to play right away, and if they don’t see that I’m ready, that’s fine. I can accept that.

    Q:Are you flattered by some comparisons people make between you and David Robinson, in terms of talent and character?

    Bosh: That’s okay with me. To be compared with someone like David Robinson, he’s one of the great players in the history of this league. Why wouldn’t I want that?

    Q:Are there any players you like to compare yourself to?

    Bosh: So far, I’ve modeled my game after Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan. Just as far as skills. Kevin Garnett brings the face-up game. Tim Duncan, he does more back-to-the-basket, and he stays composed. He didn’t show much emotion, but at the same time, he does well.

    yeah I know..I'm just disappointed in the early Bosh comments, and the lottery I guess.
