watching the cavs this weekend i saw a similar skill set with z. granted kof is smaller by what 3 inches?

That web site is predicting that the Cavs will take a kid by the name of Thompson, 6'10", Rider, who has a very nice skill but who knows where Cleveland might be drafting.  This talk should probably be on Cleveland's thread.

The NBA's one year rule was an absurd compromise. It does college ball no good, and just adds to the NCAA's enforcement headaches. Personally, I think they should either go with the three year rule as in football, or just go back to drafting high school kids under a system similar to hockey or baseball with a proper minor league.
We'll have to see how the two year system works out. In this case, a forced second year would have been a benefit to all involved -- player, college team and future pro team, although I think that in KK's case he'd have still left to go play in Greece for a few years.

I really don't see this comparison. Chandler leaps very well and is a fine shot blocker, but doesn't handle the ball or shoot very well. I know he has a great shooting percentage, but that's because CP3 sets him up for a lot of alley-oops and putbacks.

Actually I can see it happening. Any big man the Cavs pick at #19 will not be needed to contribute right away. | |
