    The dude should take the first half of the next season off considering how many games he has played.

    My friend, who scouts high school basketball, saw him when he was at a school(Westown, PA. i think) and said he'll be a high draft pick for the NBA. I don't remember if he thought he would be good or bad, in the NBA. I do remember him saying he had some skill and that he was TALL(and that's why he would get drafted by a NBA team).

    When we look back to this 2016 draft , in a few years, how will it be remembered? Right now it seems weak.

    Next year's draft is suppose to be really good. I know ther are a lot of Freshmen to be this year, that will be in next year's draft.

    I read yesterday that it was better for him the next year draft, cause there are no centers..
    he was playing for my team (Panathinaikos)..now we are looking for center..lol..

    Center is a little bit of lost position these days with the Golden State fad... but after the lack of rim protection post-Bogut, maybe the game will shift back a bit. But I agree... weak draft overall.

    He may not play in the NBA next year for the Kings as they already have 4 Centers. Kings may want him to stay in Greece and develop his game. Unless, they trade him?

    Weak draft. When the Greek guy that no one has heard of takes center stage you know it's bad.

    The 2000 draft comes to mind. Prove me wrong. Please...

    Some of these contracts being given out are absurd. Mike Conley gets 5 years, $153M?!? Mozgov got 65M for 4 years and Evan Turner got 72M for 4 years. Mediocrity pays big in the NBA!

    That it does. That said, I will always say I'd rather have the money go to the players over the owners
