    I don't know if he was that good of a draft pick. He has no shot and he is very undersized at 6-9. I saw West this year against Maryland and I thought there were three or four players on his team that were better than him.

    First of all, West is stictly a PF.............He cannot play SF, nor Center.


    And Spartan, at the NBA measurements, West's wingspan was measured at 7'4 1/4".

    Bosh(who measured as 6'11 1/2" with shoes) wingspan was measured at 7'5"
    Milicic(who measured as 7'0 3/4" with shoes) winspan was measured at 7'5"

    West's standing reach was measured at 9'0 1/2"
    Bosh's standing reach was measured at 9'1"
    Milicic's standing reach was measured at 9' 3 1/2"

    So West has a freakish wingspan and standing reach.....both which make up for him being 6'9"

    West was a good pick by the Hornets.....

    I think West was a good pick. Mike Sweetney is 6'8" and he went real early. I think West was a better college player than Sweetney also. He isn't going to do alot for a little while.
