Greg to Sactown
He’ll be the first interesting pick though I’m looking forward to the Cousins draft interview

Greg Monroe to Utah IMO
too much BS reasoning out there on Monroe, so seems like the type of pick people will sleep on undeservedly.

gtown has bad luck at #9… sweetney…

Anyone want to set a line on the number of times
these words get used:
upside
wingspan
motor
Really need some big things from suits this year – Joakim Noah was the tops in recent memory. [Note that I would throw in a casual photo or 10 but the SBNation overlords have a concern about “copyright infringement” or some such nonsense.]

- Greg Monroe is among 15 prospects to receive Green Room invitations for the 2010 NBA Draft in The Theatre at Madison Square Garden
- Monroe would be the third first round selection from Georgetown in the last four years, joining Jeff Green (2007) and Roy Hibbert (2008) * Should he be selected in the first round, Monroe would be the 12th first round pick from Georgetown
- Monroe would be the fifth player selected in the NBA Draft in the last four years under Head Coach John Thompson III (Green, 2007, Hibbert, 2008, Patrick Ewing, Jr., 2008, DaJuan Summers, 2009)
- Georgetown has had more players selected in the NBA Draft (4) in the last three years than any other team in the BIG EAST Conference.
- In 2001, there were 11 Hoyas playing in the NBA and over the history of the program, a total of 56 Georgetown basketball alumni have either been drafted by NBA teams and/or have had playing experience in the league.

DATA DUMP

- During the BIG EAST Tournament, he averaged 19.3 points, 9.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game, while shooting 54.5 percent from the floor.
- Monroe was also selected as the Pete Newell Big Man of the Year by the National Association of Basketball Coaches and earned Third Team All-America honors from that organization.
- Monroe had 14 double-doubles during the season, including a 12-point, 12-assist effort at Providence this year.
- He reached double figures in scoring 30 times and had 15 games with at least 10 rebounds. In addition, the 6-11 center led the team in scoring 13 times, in rebounding 30 times and in assists 15 times.
- Monroe scored a career-high 29 points and tied a career-best with 16 rebounds against Villanova. He had previously set his career-high in rebounds with 16 against Harvard. In a win at Providence in February, Monroe scored 12 points and handed out a career-best 12 assists. The 12 assists were the most by a center in BIG EAST Conference history and tied for the 10th-best single game performance in school history.

From the genius Chad Ford...
“So the draft should be fun. And the mock draft? It’s hard to pinpoint whom teams will take when they haven’t decided yet, but we’re going to try. And then try again later in the day. And then try again right before the draft. In other words, check back often for versions 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 as we continue to collect information about who will go where.”
“It’s hard to pinpoint whom teams will take when they haven’t decided yet”? For a man who runs a mock draft, he doesn’t seem to understand the concept very well. I’m sure he’ll still be releasing drafts after tonight’s festivities end.
Why so Syracuse?
Monroe pluses and minuses
Pros:
Fantastic passer for a big man
Good Defensive Rebounder
Speedy, Agile and Talented Post Up Player- can move right past most big men defenders
Good Defender
Cons:
Can be Careless with the Ball: Turnovers
Not a Great Defender: Specifically in providing help defense
Not as Good moving to the right
What do you guys think?

greg is going to get some GM fired.
for passing him over.
also Cousins will follow in the steps of sweetney and eat himself out of the league.
Here's what we need
WWGW? What Will Greg Wear?
Casual suit and hat?
The Rifleman tux?
Skinny tie and tight pants?
Classy pinstripe?
The no-button coat?
The possibilities are endless

feel like theres going to be a lot of wheeling and dealing in this draft
Especially since 4-5 teams are desperately trying to shed salaries

if this holds true, Monroe will go where he’s expected, i.e. 7th to Detroit

Notice the difference...
Calipari sits in the vip area table pimping himself more than his players. JTIII sits in the stands, supporting his players, but letting them do their thing.
reunited with summers...

Ditto.
People wonder why I hesitated to jump back on board after Isiah was gone. Getting rid of one piss poor decision maker wasn’t going to stop the rest of the lobotomized lackeys from making stupid choices like Rautins. Freaking Rautins?!? Ugh. I give up.
i now actively hope they don't get LeBron
because then I’d be tempted.
Damn it.
I grew up on Ewing, Houston, LJ, Charlie Ward, etc.
I guess it’s another season of rooting for the Thunder/Sometimes the Celtics/Anyone but the Lakers
I can have oodles of charm when I want to.
and of course
we got to see that goddamned tattoo again. Just piss off to Serbia or the D-league already.
