Who would've thunk I was right about this one (that he'd be available
at our pick), having traded down to 41st.

What are the odds on this guy actually making the team? Could he be
worse than Brezec?

Dunno if BryCo is done dealing yet. The stuff I read suggested that the
Raps might leave him to develop overseas. Maybe they could stash him in the
NBDL?

Unfortunately, it seems like every player nicknamed "Baby Shaq" has turned
out to suck. With maybe Eddy Curry being the least sucky of those. There
seems to be at least one "Baby Shaq" in every draft. lol The worst one I
think was some Greek dude nicknamed Baby Shaq - Shortsniches or something
like that.

If Jawai has any toughness to go with the physical presence, then he would
be super welcome on a team of nice guys... Just to royally beat on people
that rough up Bosh would be a reason to keep him around.

Oh, you mean the one that swept away the US frontcourt at the world
championship, right?
Well, that's Schortsianitis...

Sounds like he is going to be in Europe or the D league to develop,
that is what they did with Slokar and Roko Ukic and we are still
waiting for them to make an appearance.

No.. I think they'd sooner get him to play in Europe. He gets better
development there than the NBDL.

A lot of guys perform well on the world stage and the blow chunks in
the NBA. It's a different game.

Nothing new to say here..

I'm not sure if we still have rights to Slokar?
