Round two suggestion



As for our second round pick....

There is this guy from AUstin Peay University that probably none of you
have heard of... Bubba Wells.  He led the nation in scoring a year ago,
and if it weren't for him being sidelined in the beginning of this
season with some knee surgery, he would have led the nation again!  The
night he returned - he scored 40 something, and continued to tear up his
conference for the remainder of the season. ...and never missed any of
his game after returning from his injury... he's an incredible scorer.

I saw he was rated 53rd on ESPNET  - but he could be much more valuable
than that.  This guy is a sleeper - and deserves a chance!

Keep in mind that the Ohio Valley conference has a tradition of knocking
out the NCAA powerhouses in the big dance, and is generally considered a
decent hoops conference.

Quote from S.I. - 
		Bubba Wells
                 6'5", 235 lbs. 
   Wells is truly a man of steel: the explosive and emotional "Charles
Barkley of the OVC" (as he is called by some fans) had a steel rod
implanted in his right leg last summer after injuring it in a game. But,
Wells bounced back in time to become the nation's second leading scorer
with 26.7 points per game, a fieldgoal average of 55.6% and a 3-point
field goal average of 45.3%. A consistant, reliable and exciting
low-post player, this guy might be the post-season's Superman. 

Of course - at 6-5 he'd be a stretch to play low post, but look at guys
like Barkley and Anthony Mason... not to mention Larry Johnson and
Clarence Witherspoon (another OVC guy)

just some thoughts...
