Looking at some of the mock drafts I wouldn't be surprised to see a 
last minute deal. Like every year someone drops far from their 
projected lottery pick. This draft is filled with so many "projects" 
that I'm sure there will be a frenzy atmosphere draft day. It's good to 
see Danny doing the leg work out there going to HS games and doing his 
homework. Once a project drops to the middle of the first round, and 
the c's are sitting there with 3 of the next 8 picks Danny will be in a 
position to broker a deal. If the freshman from Minny, Humphries is 
available at our first pick I hope Danny snags him. He's a scorer and 
not a pushover in the lane. I doubt he'll be there though.
