Castle draft status?

[TheChamps990411]

Yeah this is the current #1 pick. I guess all 7’ Euros just move like KD now. That’s a thing.

Looks like a jump shooting Kevin Garnett. Guy plays in the post and on the perimeter. Crazy what the game could look like in 30 years.

He talked Rip into coming back.

He tried to convince Thabeet to stay another year but did not succeed at that.

Good grief. What athleticism and talent.

UConn players are putting winning over statistics and hoping the NBA will notice

Top-ranked UConn doesn’t have a superstar on its roster and is instead being carried this season by a group of NBA hopefuls who are banking on the idea that winning will do more for their draft prospects than putting up big individual numbers.

Would Rip have been a lottery pick in 1998?

According to JC, yes he would have been. He was all American as a soph.

This seems quite feasible and in all candor I would love the landing spots for all. I do wonder (especially if you factor in how important education is to his mother) if Karaban leaves after his sophomore year for a second round projection.

Regardless, I'm confident they all will turn out well.

Imagine someone telling you before the season that in February vecenie would be mocking Spencer ahead of Justin Edwards

Would love to see Cam get drafted, no smarter or tougher player in college basketball. Not the most athletic guy, but his defense is solid and underrated. His offense is obviously very good.

If he gets drafted or even gets a shot as an undrafted free agent, I think he’ll make the best of it.

The Spurs would be a great landing spot.

Reed shepherd has really gotten noticed.

My guess is with his RS semester and the summer classes he’s probably close to getting his degree after this semester. Nothing he prob couldn’t do with a few online classes that should stop him from trying pro ball

No Newton? He’s been a 2nd rd picks in a lot of the mock drafts.

Clingan would make a great Knick, would be a Thibs guy right away, a nice transition from Hurley to Thibs. Mitch and Hartenstein are upstanding vets to learn from, and can’t keep both of those guys long term.
