Re: Back to the draft...
Camden, you very well could be right about Randle, and if we do pick him, I hope he's a not David Lee on defense. I don't think Flip would take him, but I could be dead wrong on that, it's just a hunch. I could see Randle being a bust or pretty good. So we'll see what happens.

Here is Flips's thoughts. Do Boston trade. Then:
6 McDermott
13 Stauskas
17 Adreian Payne
6 McDermott
13 Stauskas
17 Adreian Payne

I'll cry if we trade with BOS and pick McDermott or Stauskas over Randle/Embiid/Smart/Randle/Vonleh they could be had at 9 and 10

How did Stauskas do against Oladipo last year (2012-13)? I'd be curious if there is footage from any of those games? Maybe VO was guarding someone else? Cam, I'm sure you can help us here.

Just from the box scores, Nik played/shot bad in the first game and was ok the 2nd game. Don't know who Indiana threw on Stauskas though. Then from Trey Burke highlights of those two games it looks like VO was split on him or Hardaway with one of Indiana's other guards on Stauskas.

Re: Back to the draft...
It's worth noting that Stauskas was not nearly as developed a player during his freshman year and a lot of that change was physical. Though looking at matchups vs. nba players from his freshman year is interesting I'm not sure it does justice to the player he is now.

Anybody else find it kind of creepy that Stauskas would have put this together??? I like him as a prospect, but from what I know about him, he's kind of a peculiar guy.

This game is a business you gotta market yourself. If. Nothing else that's the kind of stuff you should make up and send to every team to show you have improved physically look the part etc. Is it a little creepy? Yeah it kinda is partly cause of the before pic. Lol

Re: Back to the draft...
I know people want to make this pick, but would anybody be on board to trade it to the Bucks for John Henson? Ford's latest mock had the Bucks dangling a few guys to get back in the lottery and Henson is one of them (Ford thought they would try to get back into the 7-10 range). If their guy is there at 13, would you trade 13 for Henson? He would be a great defensive compliment to Pek. He's still only 23 and would either be a good backup to Love or an interesting replacement to him with his rim protecting skills. He is efficient and for whatever reason just hasn't gotten that much burn for them even though they were bad last year. I would much rather have Henson over Payne, so it would come down to who is left at 13 when we pick. They want a PG so if Payton drops, they could be willing to make the deal.

Re: Back to the draft...
I'm not understanding how it's creepy, LST. Stauskas is one of those players that tweets with the fans, does YouTube videos for the fans. He probably posted that pic to show fans that he was putting in hard work during the off-season, and rightfully so. Seems like he's just a good guy. I'd also add that pretty much everybody takes before/after pics when they're in a workout program. Pictures show the biggest changes on the body, even better than a scale can.
