    I’ve liked Billy Richmond all year. I made a post awhile about this guy comparing him to KCP. Every time he’s out there, he’s making back breaking plays on defense and offense. I think he covered up a lot for Acuff and Meleek Thomas’ deficiencies. Sign me up if he declares for the draft.

    I agree on Bidunga, he blocks a ton of shots and is a great lob threat but I think he’s not big enough for the 5 in the nba. And his offense is too raw for to play the 4 right now. I see him as a project. Not sure he’ll be better than Hayes. I’d be happy if he proves me wrong though also I think he transferred to Louisville for next year?

    bidunga looked substantially undersized to me, but i did watch him in some games against really big front lines, i guess. i wouldn't have taken him in the first round, though.

    i just keep remembering that jj said the reason he benched hayes against minny was for offensive reasons. this tells me a lot about how jj thinks.

    6’10 235 at 20 is big enough with room to grow in strength and weight.As you said offense needs work
