I think that having Randle and a legit shot to add a free agent big man is also making us look hard at Russell.
Absolutely. He carried a team that didn't have another NBA caliber player. This is going to be a long day. Lol
Yep. He had a lot of that"it" factor from minute one. He was a clear leader as a freshman.
I think Okafor is still probably our pick but I'm not sure this is a smoke screen either. I think there is a vocal group on the staff that prefer...
Yeah. I think we have an uphill climb back to the playoffs no matter who we pick.
I am good with Okafor or Russell at this point. I agree with the thought that drafting Russell probably means we are definitely signing one of...
Some scouts questioned his work ethic and Coach K stated at one point that Okafor would have to step up his work ethic at the next level. I think...
I've been in favor of Love this entire time for pretty much the reasons you laid out and still feel like he ends up with us if he leaves...

I understand what you are saying. And maybe its because I have been following him a while but I've read things about Russell having a high bust...
I have always been high on Randle. I think a lot of teams are going to regret passing on him.
Yeah. He is going to have to develop a NBA mindset as far as conditioning. Coach K pretty much flat out said that about him in college. I think...
In Okafor's defense, I think he will eventually be able to completely dominate most of these smaller teams and is crafty enough on the offensive...
Me too. I'm hoping Randle ends up having the shooting touch I think he has. There were also some questions about his defensive ability coming...
Agreed. I think Okafor will be a good and maybe even great player for us at some point. But I can't pretend I don't understand what the critics...
...or we could take the true best player in the draft. [MEDIA]
Also, I just don't really see any bias toward Okafor. Every prospect has been picked apart. I think the main thing is that a lot of people on...
If West said that it does make it tougher to pass on Russell. I remain a huge fan of his game.
Given some of the comments Carroll has made, I still like our chances of grabbing him. I'm sure Atlanta will try to keep him, but I don't think...
