    Royce White can ball

    He's got a little Anthony Mason razzle dazzle in his game.

    Royce White is a Spurs pick if ever I saw one. But then again (as I said in another thread), he really needs to go to an East Coast team where he can take the bus as much as possible. Unless his team uses the ol' BA Baracas tricks:

    Kyle O'quinn as a late 1st early second IMO is loking as a very attractive pick for a backup PF/C. His standing reach was right at the top of the all the guys measured and was only 2 inches shorter than Drummonds huge 7' 6.25" wingspan. Also his ATHLETIC ability, which was a knock/concern seems pretty darn solid with a 30.5 standing vert which was in the upper tier of the bigs, also his lane agility time was very good for a big. He has a good motor as well. This guy IMO later in the draft could be a great pickup

    I give up! 109 pages on this thread alone!

    I'm just going to wait and watch the frigging draft.

    He's going to have to get over that fear either way so I don't think it really matters where he gets drafted.

    I'm just glad the team is doing their diligence. It sure sounds like they are interviewing a working out all the right candidates. Also, interesting that we had trouble in the past with players working out for us if they thought they would go higher. This year, so far, it sounds like everyone is willing to work out. If they make a wrong pick it won't be for lack of information.

    Um, maybe not to you, but I think it matters to the team that drafts him...

    he has to know that hes going to have to deal with it, i mean im sure he is saying that it was overblown, or not a big deal, but if it is, they would likely be able to void his contract

    I think he means where in the country he gets drafted.

    Workout test. I would be tempted to add an extra element to player workouts. Put them in 3 on 3 or something similar, and have a ref there who calls cheap or wrong fouls on them and see how they respond.

    Chris Littman: More from @Chad Ford on the #Bobcats: Says Michael Jordan "isn't sold on Kidd-Gilchrist." about 5 minutes ago

    Interesting. When players fall from their expected draft positions, it always creates chaos. This could be something to watch.

    I like his potential. If I'm the Bobcats, I'm sold on nobody right now, and I'm exploring every option/player. That's what you do when you're the worst team in the league, by far.

    But as I said, to me, it's simply interesting because as players fall from their expected draft positions, it always creates some chaos over the next several picks.

    I could see MKG being very effective if you want to run and put Batum at the 2. I like his leadership, but I'm not sure he would look good in a slow half court offense.
