    I've never heard of either of those websites..... I stick to ESPN and DraftExpress for my mocks...

    We could use a center. Zeller is supposedly a decent one in that range.

    Zeller is white, he's not a Euro, and has average at best athleticism. Why do we want that in the lottery?

    I would not take Zeller either. He looks to have enough skills to play 10 years in the NBA, but at 11 I would rather roll the dice on someone with more upside. He does have a nice little hook with either hand though.

    Exactly. I'd love to take him with a purchased pick in the mid to late teens

    Why? His ceiling is something like Jeff Green -- a TWEENER.

    No thanks.

    Perry Jones reminds me of someone.... nbadraft.net compares him to Anthony Randolph..... I guess that fits. He's just so skinny.

    I don't foresee us picking up a center in a trade, but we could probably get a ho-hum one.

    I didn't say we want one, but that is all I see as a realistic trade/sign option.

    Greg Oden is black, is an American, and had excellent athleticism. That didn't work out very well, did it?

    If Zeller is a legitimate 7', I wouldn't hate that pick at 11.

    If Zeller ever reaches half of Oden's Per when he played I will be shocked. Stupid to bring up Oden. We are talking about talent by itself
