    Which one? The small high schooler, or the 2nd-round pick?

    That's why he held his press conference unannounced from his guerilla cave, so we couldn't watch live. CIA voice experts will analyze it for bin Laden's voice.

    I can barely hear Casey Holdahl when he's in front of the microphone....nor Joe Freeman in the back...the guy I can always hear is Jaynes...he has that cat meow.....it's simple to have a stage monitor mixer and balance the question answer levels but for some reason...nobody does it...quality sucks..they pay big bucks for so many things, why not the sound at the podium?

    Gees river, doesn't you talking screen have a volume control thing-a-ma-jig on it?

    That was a real cat. Do not insult fluffy pussies by confusing them with Jaynes.

    Neil's the one that said the 2nd round pick would be getting some run.

    you raise the volume of the journalists and the podium speaker will shake the walls...there's no fix for that on your computer sound controls...

    The volume control works both ways. Turn it to max for the questions, and then down for the answers.

    I'm not really sold on any of them being sure things. Lots of good potential though.

    I thought he looked comfortable, confident, and relaxed. Maybe the difference is he was less of a jerk than I've ever seen him. He seemed genuinely friendly. Maybe a little tired.

    I got the same vibe. He seemed less defensive as usual.

    you must enjoy white noise and shuffling feet with muffled questions more than I do...I'm not getting paid to be their sound engineer

    I like both picks, didn't like giving up two 2nd rounders but Trent looks like a good player, intelligent and a good shooter. Simons is exciting. Summer League will be interesting

    I would agree but even if only two of the 5 hit then that is enough and they are going places, sadly.

    Neil was pretty straightforward with the presser - no snake oil salesman stuff. But, he did seem quite tired.

    We got a huge upside guy and a super hard worker/super good shooter guy. Seem like very reasonable gambles.

    I don't know if you're right, but I love your optimism!
