[Mr. Body]

I can't imagine he drops past Houston if he lasts that long.

[Horry For 3!]

McRoberts... not so good

[RobinsontoDuncan]

got loads of talent, just never seemed to put it all together for some reason. Is too passive with the ball in pressure situations (although there were times late in the season where he was aggressive looking for his shot). It seems like all duke players play excellent defense. I think he'll be a pretty decent NBA player one day, but i don't think he'll drop to 28

[Mr. Body]

The guy has great size. And is skilled - on Houston he'd be excellent, since he won't need to score much. Other teams, not so sure.

[ggoose25]

The guy doesnt come through in pressure situations. You can always count on him to make the right pass though. Low post moves are weak, and his lack of quickness hinders his rebounding numbers against fast teams. For the most part he's in the right spot defensively, and gets the majority of his blocks through weakside help D, a la Robert Horry.

[Mr. Body]

I think he'll surprise some people. Houston could pass on him if they really like Fazekas, but I don't imagine he'll survive the teens.

[mardigan]

I hated this kids game in college, but for some reason I have a feeling that his game will translate well to the NBA

[itzsoweezee]

he's garbage, especially considering all the hype i've been hearing about him the last two years. say o to the next shavlik randolph, cherokee parks, etc.

You bet me to the punch .. I would go on with SOFT Duke Forwards .. I think the only strong players I have since from Duke that were Forwards were ... Elton Brand.. And Maybe Shane Battier.. I could go on for bad and SOFTduke Forwards ..

Mike Gminski,Danny Ferry,Shelden Williams and Do I have to Bring Up .. Chris Carrawell for Busted SPURS picks for the past.
