Atlanta: (I’m torn) Chris Kramer - Purdue was my franchise in college hoops 2k7 (best game ever) and Chris’s last game as a senior was one of the saddest virtual days of my life.

Indiana: Tweety Carter - Love Baylor, Tweety’s been my boy for years.

Memphis: Larry Sanders no question. Length, ups, D, played with Eric Maynor for years…one of my favorite guys to follow when I check the box scores at night.

Milwaukee: Despite my recent infatuation with Lazar, I gotta go with DJ here because I have actually been in love with him since his freshman year when KD and Augustin were hogging the spotlight. If he left as a sophomore he’s a top 10 pick.

Minnesota: Jerome Jordan - another one of my box score guys, I dig the alliteration as well as the upside for the Tulsa kid. And I mostly want to murder Brian Zoubek with my hands.

New Jersey: This is also a toughie, but I’m gonna go with Tory Jackson. When he was a freshman on that team with Colin Falls, Russell Carter, Rob Kurz, Kyle McAlarney, and fellow freshman Luke whatshisgody, I fell headfirst for the kid, cornea abrasion and all.

Thank you for this Scott, and I hope I’m included in your internet friends crew. Almost as good as America’s Best Dance Crew. And better dancers, anyhow.

First off, he’s working out in Minnesota despite the fact that his own teammate’s agent (Greig, Cousins’ contract rep) has held DeMarcus out on the grounds that there are too many bigs on the Wolves’ roster. Anything that gives me cognitive dissonance is a good thing.

But the guy’s a big who declared despite little NCAA playing time, and he’s eloquent and seems like a good egg. If he makes a 6-year NBA career that may be something of an outlier…. Or maybe he’s just made of awesomeness. Or maybe he’s Chris Richard.

Just so you know, even though I don’t comment every day, I do read your loveliness every day, and besides, the majority of all blogs are perused by way more people who just read than comment and furthermore, people are much more inclined to comment when they disagree than when they agree. So, don’t be too hard on yourself about the lack of comments and in order to make yourself feel better, I think you can safely assume that the lack of comments is an indication that people just agree and that you are a wonderful writer. : ) — (if you are even serious about the "sad about no comments" thing?)

To be a good sport and play this fun game, and since I’m a UK fan and all, I guess I too should probably go with Orton. Early on in the season he was definitely a UK fan favorite, I think he has a great NBA body already, very fit and all that, and well, a prospects body is certainly one of his best commodities, but some things did come to light in the last few months that made many of us UK fans back off on giving him totally unabashed high praise.

I won’t go into it here because he wore the blue-and-white and I will never intentionally say something totally negative about one of "my" boys, but I will say that the issues I have with Daniel are more personality-wise than skill-wise, so there is that. And, I will go on to say that I think he has some skill, certainly, and if not for DeMarcus (who is my overall, outright favorite ‘Cat and person in this year’s draft, but sadly not on today’s list) he probably would have started for us last year and his numbers would have been more indicative of a first rounder. I really do hope he goes in the first round. It would be good for him and also good for the University of Kentucky.

Also, I was at the NCAA South Regional in Houston this year and I can say with clarity that Baylor’s Ekpe Udoh and Tweety Carter are also awesome. I really loved watching them play and I hope they both do well in the draft, as well.

Whew. That reply got a little long, didn’t it? Well, you asked for it, I guess. Keep up the good work. Very excited for draft night.

I am surprised that he was invited to a pre-draft workout. I thought the Wizards would be the only team that might give him a look and that’s only because he is somewhat of a local product. Crews wasn’t even the best player in his Division II conference (CIAA). I guess his agent is well connected.

…Just because I know everybody hates him (I’m looking at you, Brewhoop)
