RE: More on the draft, now Diop.

[OzerskyJA <OzerskyJA@cmog.org>]

I know that one of the main things that is scaring
people off him is he seems to have some kind of foot
injury, and that's why he's not working out for people.
People hear "300 pound big man" and "foot injury" and you
can't blame them for being scared.  Hell, I'm scared.
Still, after seeing what Dikembe Mutumbo just did to the
Bucks with his offensive rebounding alone, I'd take a chance
on the guy...that's the beauty of having two picks.  Boy,
this Gasol better be good if we trade two picks for him and
Diop is available at ten.

I don't follow enough college  or HS! bball to have an imformed opinion.

But the "numbers" on this kid make me agree.  It sure seems like a pretty
good risk for the center of the future.  If he really is dropping to the end
of the lottery...

Anyone know of his background/family/agent?   <Jim
