Have you ever thought money isnt everything to these kids? Maybe they enjoy college life? Maybe they enjoy playing for their college team? Maybe they enjoy getting an education? Maybe they have enough confidence in themselves to improve their game and their draft stock? Maybe they dont feel they are NBA ready yet?
South Dakota?
I just tried the mock draft on ESPN's website and it had us winning the lottery and taking Kyrie Irving at #1 and Jimmer at #12. Both are small guards, but I wouldn't be disappointed at all if that happened. https://espn.go.com/nba/lottery2011/mockdraft
Seems like the 2012 draft is shaping up be much much stronger than the 2011.
So, I just heard that if Washington wins tonight, we are in a three way tie for the 4th worst record. Is this true? (And please say it is, so I can stop dreaming (wrongly so, I guess) of Alec Burks, and dream of a big time player to go with Favors).
If we fall to #7 we seem to get Kemba Walker. I really hope we don't end up with Valanciunas. There are likely better players than him in that range and we'd be known as the team that picked a Jonas Brother. How sad

Chad Ford saying Barnes is staying. It's eurobig time me thinks. Kanter, Jonas, or Biyombo. The good thing about drafting the latter two is they can improve their skills overseas while the lockout is going on.
After tonights world game it might be looking like if we want this Biyongoongo kid we'll have to take him with our first lottery pick.
