I just don't see how you can go through the system like high school and college and not lift. I know it's not football but come on

Whereas Rose never lifted a weight before he got to Memphis, Evans has been training with Lamont Peterson for practically all of his teenage years. Whereas Rose's famously bad diet included copious amounts of Twizzlers and Gummi Bears, Evans regularly consults with a nutritionist.

yeah this draft class is def a fragile bunch, but for specialists, mainly 3pts and rebounders its not a big deal, mainly need these guys for energy bursts

Regardless of draft class, if they can pull off a move where they land the #1 and #2 - that's huge.

would love to see Marshon in a bobcats jersey

i still hope we tank the season for next year draft though

If we finish outside the top 14 then chicago gets our pick from the Tyrus thomas trade.I hope we trade jack and Diaw, then find someone to take Diop and carroll even though I know that isn't happening.Also whoever said Gerald Henderson suck didn't watch his progress this year. All he's lacking is a 3 point shot which he's working on. He. Could be a 15-20 ppg player in the next 2 yrs.

Damn Duke's track record is horrible even if I excuse injuries and give them Hill being a star at one point.

Now I see why Coach K wouldn't coach the NBA.

No substantial champions have ever come out of Duke

Gerald Henderson - Sucks

Shelden Williams - Sucks

Battier - Role Player

Deng - Role Player

Dunleavy - Role Player

Maggette - Injury

Duhon - Sucks

Boozer - Scumbag

Brand - Injury

Hill - Injury

Jay Williams - Motorcycle

Reddick - douche bag

Langdon - Cut

Laetener - White

I don't see how Irving will break this cycle. Coach K. don't breed superstars.

The fact of the matter is that none of them are really winners.

What criteria are you using to evaluate whether a player is or isn't a "winner?"  And define "winner."

And if/when you do... remember that the past 20 years have seen only 7 teams win the title (Bulls, Rockets, Spurs, Lakers, Pistons, Heat & Celtics) with those teams only being led by a handful of players.

Boston Celtics: Ray Allen (UConn), Kevin Garnett (High School), Paul Pierce (Kansas)

Chicago Bulls: Michael Jordan (UNC), Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas), Dennis Rodman (Southeastern Oklahoma State)

Detroit Pistons: Chauncey Billups (Colorado), Rip Hamilton (UConn)

Houston Rockets: Hakeem Olajuwon (Houston)

Los Angeles Lakers: Kobe Bryant (High School), Pau Gasol (International), Shaquille O'Neal (LSU)

Miami Heat: Shaquille O'Neal (LSU) & Dwyane Wade (Marquette)

San Antonio Spurs: Tim Duncan (Wake Forest), Manu Ginobli (International), Tony Parker (International), David Robinson (Navy)

Finals MVPs: Chauncey Billups, Kobe Bryant (x2), Tim Duncan (x3), Michael Jordan (x6), Shaquille O'Neal (x3), Hakeen Olajuwon (x2), Tony Parker, Paul Pierce, Dwyane Wade

But all on the same team in their primes they would beat everyone but
Uconn and UNC.
Maybe Florida.
Thats the weird part.

How? What makes you say that before anybody's even drafted?............is it because of the lack of "possible" star potential?

Saying this might be a weak class is one thing, but the worst ever is OD
