Thanks for posting. Very interesting.

Hammons is interesting. He sounds like a guy that needs to land in the right spot.

Bleed, by "right spot" do you mean heaven over hell? (check out the bio information on the right side of the linked page...this has got to hurt his draft status :) )

If we pass on Bender I will puke. I don't see Dunn going to Boston unless they have a trade worked out with 76ers.

I don't agree with Ford's picks. He's got Bender and Hield too low. There would be some major drooling if we got our choice of Bender and Hield. I'd be pumped either way and I'll just have to trust Thibs to pick the right guy.

I don't put much stock in Chaf Ford in general but what in the world would Boston do with Dunn?

I think Bender is gonna be low on draft board for a few days till he comes and does some workouts in the States that I saw somewhere on Twitter were happening a week or so before the draft.

I wish Ingram would say this.

Thanks for putting that Tweet into more context. I hate to some extent how these young guys try and steer their way towards or away from a team but it's hard to blame him for not wanting to go to The Suns which is pretty much the land of Guards and they have even traded a couple good guards away.

It sounds like part of the Ford thinking (and others also) of Dunn at 3 is Boston could certainly move it for a big from the 6ers. #3 and maybe something else small for Okafor might make a lot of sense for both teams.
