      The player he mosts reminds me of would be Russell Westbrook. Many of the same questions surrounded him when he came out in 2008. However, a big difference between the two is Westbrook was a SO who played only 9 mins per game as a FR whereas Knight is a freshman who led his team to the NCAA Finals.
      He's not an athlete like Westbrook though. Russell improved his stock dramatically in 08 by having tremendous workouts.

      • Why are we not concidering Jan Vesely? (but Irving if we can get him of course)

            Why not he has just as much if not more potential then anyone else that will be available and fits a need.

              Let's see what happens after the workouts. I like Vesely. His ceiling is a lot higher than other SF's in the draft.

              • Unofficial Early Entrant list: NBADraft.net

                http://www.nbadraft.net/2011-nba-draft-early-entrants

                The date says updated on April 20th but there are guys who declared just on Friday (the 22nd) who declared, namely the trio of Longhorns.

                Deadline for underclassmen to withdraw from draft and retain NCAA eligibility is May 8th.

                • I'm really starting to like the idea of picking up a later pick or trading down for one of these center prospects. Val would be a steal if he goes where some draft sites are predicting (teens), Biyombo is a very impressive player who has massive defensive potential, and I kind of like Lucas Nogueira who is another center with a lot of potential if he can put on some weight. One of those three should be available in the late lottery and all three are excellent prospects. This draft is weak in terms of NBA ready talent and impact players but there are some nice bigs and point guards in the lottery that could make some noise somewhere down the line.

                      • Found this on SI.com:
                        None of the executives polled by SI.com sounded pleased with this development, though. In fact, the reality that these [Foreign Prospects] are on the rise is seen by some as an indictment of the American-born crop as it currently stands.

                        "I guarantee you, if this was next year's class, with the guys who are going back to school and the incoming freshmen, nobody would feel the need to spend months of time in Kaunas, Lithuania [Motiejunas' hometown]," one general manager said. "But you start staring at Kemba Walker and [Kentucky guard] Brandon Knight and [Kentucky forward] Terrence Jones and Kawhi Leonard in the lottery, and you start going, 'Oh, my God, I'd better get on a plane and go find somebody.' "
                        Rookies don't get paid for the first time until mid-November, meaning a short lockout would not affect their early earnings. What's more, most agents offer to loan their new clients money while the waiting game drags on. The absence of actual games and general uncertainty of the situation, though, are surely reasons enough to make prospects pause.

                        "I think the lockout is definitely coming into play," the personnel director said. "All year long I've been asking agents what you think is going to happen with guys, and the consensus is: 'If guys don't need money, then why would they lose a year of development sitting at home doing nothing?' It's the guys who need money saying, 'Well, my agent will loan me the money, so the fact that we're not getting paid is not an issue.' "

                        As for the always-important talent level? It's nothing short of a global issue.

                          Reggie Jackson, dude to watch. If we do trade down I'd certainly be ok with the raps drafting him.

                            In the first round?

                            In my opinion, Jackson, Charlie Jenkins, and Isaiah Thomas are guys to watch with the idea of being a third string PG and obtaining them through a) buying a 2nd round pick or b) hope they don't get drafted and sign as an undrafted FA.

                            • He has the size, ball skills and shooting touch to be a lotto pick, much less a first rounder.
