He averaged 30.9 in seven NCAA tournament games. Had 30 against Maryland as a freshman in the tournament, 40 against Gonzaga, 30 against Georgetown, 33 on Wisconsin, 25 and within one shot of beating champion Kansas, 44 against Oklahoma and NC St., 29 against Duke. The guy is legit.

which is nice but meaningless when trying to fit him into a NBA team. He is a bulk shooter who isnt good enough to be a bulk shooter in the NBA. Lets face it, the guy had to score a ton of points on that team. But how does his lack of lateral quickness, size, strength against NBA guards help him? Can he reinvent himself into a role player? If he comes into a game and misses a few will he press because unlike college he cant just keep missing and hope to stay in the game? What if opposing teams put pressure on the balll? Can he create while being hounded by a bigger, stronger and faster player? How will he deal with opposing teams looking to post him up? Can he cover quicker guards?

Jesus this is boring. i'm going to sleep

Is there a second rounder that Bilas doesn't think will make a team? Sam Young in the second round is a great pick.

I am so happy that my favorite team drafted Lester Hudson. Telling you guys, this guy is a player.

[-BT-]

didn't watch the draft at all, but i can't see a pick by the wiz

also, rubio slips to 5 where the wiz were, but instead they have foye and miller to show for it..... worst drafting team in the NBA year in year out the Washington Wizards

Spurs did pretty good with no first round picks coming away with McClinton and Blair. Usually if a 2nd round pick just makes the team you are happy but both guys could turn out to be solid contributers.

When Matt Bonner is your starting Center there is room.
The Spurs are dead dog old. King Glorious would have a chance
to play.

Seriously though...
Jefferson helps a great deal.
Jefferson goes with the Spurs because he is with
Mil. going nowhere. The Spurs still have Parker, Duncan,
and Ginobili. After this, anyone can make the team.

BTW. Drew Gooden does not get it. I thought Kansas turned
out smart basketball players. They took the kid from Miami
because he is supposedly a light's out shooter. Finely, Bowen,
Udoka, all who can hit 3's, are either gone or on the way out.
Ginobili will get hurt so we need a shooter.

The kid from Pitt. will work the Kurt Thomas mug them game.
We got 6 hard fouls with that move. If Blair can learn to set
a screen properly without sticking his legs out, he might get
7 minutes before he fouls out.
