    I'm guessing this is the reason Olshey might be interested . . .

    That would show Olshey agrees with me regarding Leonard

    I am not convinced about that. I was pissed last year on draft night when we took Leonard. I wanted a SG. This year I still want a SG, but I can also see the logic of taking another project at center. We have room for 3 centers on the roster, and I would prefer if we had 3 of them. Even though all three won't play.

    So if we had Adams and Leonard and an older vet (i.e O'Neal) it would makes some sense for next year and the future. I certainly would not be going to bed on Thursday all amped up , (Other than the fact that I will be in Vegas that night) but I guess I won't be pissed if it happens.

    Perhaps Olshey believes that two young centers fighting for playing time (i.e. Adams and Leonard) is the best way to see what each can do, and decide which one we want to keep.

    Not to mention the fact that Adams apparently knows how to play defense and protect the rim, which Leonard doesn't.

    Adams is just as bad as Leonard IMO....They both look the part but are relatively clueless when out on the court (ie low bball IQ\feel for the game)....

    Both are project players with solid potential.
