Following potential 2013 draftees

Everytime a player goes down, I'm reminded of that scene in Friday Night Lights and it's scary. Scary, scary, scary. And painful to watch or even think about.

Nate Wolters now one of ESPN's "Nations' Best Mid Major Players".



Sorry Orange, your hope (my hope too, if I'm completely honest) of picking him in the 2nd round just took a big hit.

The success of Lillard and other players like Curry only help the case for Wolters. I still think he goes in the second round.

Anything to add PKM?
 
IMO, there is no doubt that WCS is the best pro prospect on UK's team next to Noel.. Even though no one has him higher than Goodwin or Poythress.

Right now, subject to change, I'd take Noel #1, WCS around 13, Goodwin around 16 and Poythress around 23.

What a difference a season makes.
 
Apparently some Milwaukee Bucks fans want to draft Trey Burke this summer. Not a real story, just that the Bucks want a new back court.

It would not entirely surprise me if the Jazz picked this guy with their later 1st-rd. pick. Seems like the kind of back-up center the Jazz would love.

Kelly Olynyk

I like him. He reminds me of Scola only taller. Just plays like a pro... is skilled, smart, and not just a stiff. He's not going to be a go to guy... but he'll be a good role player who could potentially be a starter down the line. I could easily see Mansap and/or Jefferson leaving after this year and then picking him up to help add depth in the front court. Interesting that our GM is formerly from the Spurs... because Olynyk reminds me a lot of the type of big they always seem to have as a complement to Duncan in the post.
 
Noel's x-rays from last night came back negative, which at least rules out any bone fractures/breaks.. which is good, but the real story will come from the MRI. The MRI is scheduled for 11:30am (est) so he's going in now. That will give us the info on the tendons and muscles, etc..

I got this info from Kenny Payne (asst coach). The general 'feel' around the team is that it's not career defining, but may very well be season defining. There are only about 15 or so games remaining so it just may not be worth rushing him back .. to which I completely concur, depending on the MRI.

The good news is the kid is known to be tough as nails, never gets hurt, never misses a game, so I don't see him slamming his knee into the goal as hurting his stock.

This also gives WCS some room to grow .. and he's going to be very good. He's showing some Cousins type moves but with a super high motor and a total athlete.
