Reminds me of a rawer version of Jalen Rose.

Pryzbilla's long gone before the C's draft especially with 
the latest Tsak and Mihm difficulties.

Moiso may go to Houston. his stock is rising.

Miles, no chance in hell. MJ has already annoited him as the next
Garnett. Alexander's a bad boy, bad boy, what you going to do, what
you going to do, when they come for you. Miller, a slight, iffy,
perhaps chance of being there. With the two center falling down -
Tsak and Mihm, and not getting up, the SF/SG types are going to
be in demand.

DerMarr who can touch 12.5 feet is another hot commodity.

5-9, 200-pounder going in the first round.

He could go in the top ten. He's the designated pre-draft camp
superstar.

Playing well at the Bible Belt to reclaim a spot in the first round.

They both could go in the first round.
