Maybe if they supply the donuts...

Actually Derrick Williams is very fond of sweet tea, but his nutritionist/trainer told him he had to lay off it. If we promise him sweet tea HE WILL COME!

Agents don't want their clients working out for teams lower than where they're projected. I think an interview however, even if it's something like a teleconference interview, could be arranged.

There is a small, but reasonable chance that Kanter or Knight could somehow go #2, or that the Jazz could swing a trade for the #2 pick.

I saw Derrick Williams play 5 times last year. Maybe it was just the games I saw, but he was spectacular in every game. He is making me nervous showing up at the combine with 10+% body fat, and evidently, didn't put out every game. If his agent blows off his workouts, he could drop a few spots.

If the draft was stronger I would agree with this, but there's no way in hell Williams is dropping this year.

Does it help that his agent is Rob Pelinka---the same Rob Pelinka who represents Carlos Boozer? The Jazz went out of their way to be nice to Carlos durring that last difficult year.

Nope

This draft is so turrible.

This draft is so turrible.

You are going to look like an idiot when Jimmer and Kanter lead us to the Finals next season.
