Message: [QUOTE="Hunt for 7, post: 4968216, member: 12414"] He said “very good chance” so he was uninformed or just making stuff up. I guess I would expect better reporting as I noted I tend to like most of his analysis and I think he is fair and does not outwardly root for Duke. So I just don’t get why he would make such a strong comment without knowing. Look my take is that the top two or three teams in the draft have made it clear to Donovan’s camp that he is their guy, or it seems that way to me. I mean if you have a chance to go #1 you go. I don’t get how someone as plugged in as Bilas did not already know that he was in that type position. It may not be his job specifically to do mock drafts etc. But I do look for credibility in some of the analysts. Bilas was/is one whose opinion I have respected and he seemed credible for telling it like it is. I would never consider anything a Charles Barkley says but some of these guys have street cred so when they say something it makes you think. Anyway we can agree to disagree. It all good….he was more than likely going no matter what and I hope he goes #1 and kills it next year. Actually I knew he had a long wingspan as it was obvious looking at him but it is 7’7” he is going to be a rim protecting machine at the next level. Physics dictate that call. I also think he has more offensive game than a Rudy Gobert. I hope San Antonio picks him and they bring back the twin towers. Big men as stars have always been good for the nba. [/QUOTE]
