Hello, is this President Clinton? Good! I figured if anyone knew where to get some Tang, it'd be you.

I mean I assume he’s open to whoever offers him the biggest contract*

Could end up in Utah. His dad is a scout there. I don't think Memphis likes him. I think Peterson is going to be the best player in the class by a lot

I have not seen a second of his HS tape but I was wholly unimpressed with what I saw at KU

Those that know way more than I insist he’s the most talented player in the class but I as well would be very scared taking him

My hesitancy has nothing to do with his talent. More to do with his bizarre season last year.

I keep hearing that scouts aren’t concerned with maybe the strangest set of injury circumstances/availability questions I’ve ever heard.

Just doesn’t seem like something you’d see out of 1) a player that will go onto not have health issues or 2) a player that will be a winner at the next level.

When KU and BYU played, it couldn’t have been more obvious that Peterson was better than AJ…

for a half. But then he didn’t play most of the 2nd half.

Still, if you’re drafting at 1st overall in hopes of finding a guy to be the #1 guy on a title team, I think Peterson is stylistically the most likely to become that in the modern NBA. AJ and Boozer are much safer bets to be long-term All-Stars, but the upside of Peterson is going to be too tantalizing for him to fall to #4. Much more likely that he goes #1 overall than drops to #4, IMO.

I’d be happy with him of course, but I’d also take Acuff or Flemings. *

RUMORS that Mikel Brown might move up to #5, and Wagler canceled a workout with BKN (#6).

He might slide to 7 if the Bulls want to move up to take him.

Unless they truly think that no one is worth getting in next year’s draft…

and are willing to trade away next year’s 1st with no (or very little) protection, I just don’t see how they’d have the assets to trade up.

Even Giddey apparently isn’t viewed as the type of asset that can get you from #15 to the 5-7 range, at least based on some stuff I’ve read or listened to, so their own 1st next year is probably the only card they have left to play.

And if a guy like Philon or Carr could potentially be there at 15, I don’t see it being worth giving up that asset to turn one of them into Wagler/Flemings instead.

When something is happening, young people like to say it’s “lit.”

They've also got a lightly used 19-year-old first round pick in Essengue.

Apparently 7' tall now too.

I'd love to move up for Wagler but understand it will probably be a tough sell. Hell, I'd love for them to move up from 38; this draft is awesome.
