    Geez! I would have never guessed there were people in this forum so damn uninformed.

    My reaction the first time I saw Sabonis play was to suppress the thoughts that this might be the best center I have ever seen play the game. By half time I could no longer suppress the thought. This was 1985 in Germany I think.

    Last night, to ease the pain of the Dallas loss, I watched my recording of the Gonzaga-SF game.
    I am really impressed with Sabonis. I already want to draft him. He is tough, has a nose for the ball and seems to be a tireless rebounder. Uses his lower body really well, great footwork, and seems to have great basketball IQ/decision-making. (wonder where he got that) It doesn't look like any team wants to guard him 1-on-1 in the post where he has pretty impressive moves. I'm not sure he couldn't do well right now in the NBA and he's only a freshman. It's going to be fun to see what he is like at the next level, hopefully in Portland.

    Love his game. Tough as nails and gritty. Not as finesse as his Pops was as an NBA'er (I never really got to see his dad in his prime other than highlights). He needs to put some muscle on still though, he's strong now, but a wiry strong. Talk is that he's loving the college experience and in no rush jump to the league. He's real young for a college frosh.

    I would love to steal him in the draft. So then I can bump this amazing thread.

    He will be top 7 pick (maybe even top 4) when he decides to come out. Very hard to move up in the draft that high to snag him.

    Arvydas watches some of the games from the same feed I sometimes watch the games from and posts from Lithuania. The moderator admits the IP address is coming from Lithuania.

    You think its really him? He doesn't say too much. I think it might be him.

    You guys keep killing me.... Lots of you complain about Batum playing for France every season but want this guy on your squad....

    Sabonis has committed to playing for Lithuania EVERY summer.

    He's been playing real solid in the tournament so far. I bet by the time all is said and done he ends up being a lottery pick, if not hes a steal for who ever gets him.

    His draft stock will go up as the Zags keep winning.

    He looked like an inside oriented Detlef Schrempf.

    I see his stock going up big time.

    The Blazers are ready to go after more veteran players but he is the only player I wish the Blazers could get in this draft.
