If he drops 30lbs and gains a hell of a boost in lateral quickness maybe

Why would Cleveland take Bennett? He seems like Jamarcus Russell 2.0

Because Cleveland.

It's a shitty draft anyway. I'd go with the safest pick and from everything I'm reading/seeing....that wasn't it.

Or go with the highest upside, and imo, this was it (or McLemore).

The weight thing would turn me off immediately. No excuse for that.

They're going to be regretting it though when Deshaun Thomas goes 45th but ends up being a top 10 player in this class.

Why, Zeller is a good player and a good prospect.

He wont be bad. Fucking Crean never letting him shoot the ball. But he has range and quickness. So if he can play the 4, he will be solid.

Mark Titus ‏@clubtrillion 1m Your one and only reminder of the night that Tom Crean couldn't get out of the Sweet 16 with 2 of the top 4 picks in the draft.

Have to think the Suns take Noel but I don't even think he's better than Marcin Gortat to be honest.

I want Indiana to take him so badly lol.

They could use a guy on the bench who can erupt at any moment.

Indiana would be a great fit for Thomas. Think Boston, Memphis, and Oklahoma City would all be great options as well.

I saw at least 1 mock that had the Pacers taking him. I think it is a real possibility.

Don't look now, but if Bennet pans out to be a great player, along with Wiggins next year, I think Canada will have a competitive team for the Olympics, LOL.

Noel slipping big time, New Orleans doesn't seem to be a fit based on need either.

This.

If it's such a bad draft, why wouldn't you try and hit a homerun?

No such thing as a safe pick either. I could easily see Oladipo sucking.

Am I the only Hoosier fan that is just getting depressed tonight remembering that Tom Crean couldn't get us out of the Sweet 16 with 2 of the top 4 picks???
