This guys averaging 16.4 and 6.9 for Partizan Belgrade and hes 22 years old plus taller than Scola. I'd say he probably does pull a Scola/Oberto and come over later on in his career assuming he continues to play well and get better. </div> He has a contract with Panathanaikos where he'll make as much as the #1 overall pick on the rookie scale. He's also made comments where he's flat out said he just doesn't like the NBA.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Big Frame @ Jun 18 2008, 09:05 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Drew Neitzel bitches!!!</div> Neitzel has no place in the NBA. In fact, he barely had a place at MSU. If Izzo played Lucas more, the Spartans would have had a much better season. Neitzel just fell off his senior season much in the way Maurice Ager did, taking too many shots and not hitting enough of them. It was like he did a complete 180 from his first three years.
Went with Luc even though he is a raw talent, as in he's shown potential to be an okay scorer for now, but the reason I brought him in is for some more athleticism and defense. This guy hustles and plays good defense, something that fits well into the Rockets system of playing good defense. Also this athelticism he brings with my first pick of Walker are steps to transforming from a lumbering defensive squad, to a faster defensive squad, I think it adds more dimensions to the team's overall defense.

Will there be a grade report for all the teams from this mock based on the picks we made? I think that'll be cool.

I'd probably go with Koufos because I think that's what Ferry would do.
