    Hey this is the guy we are projected to draft, hes french and he reminds me of vintage tmac when all he did was dunk, he looks tough and agile i think he could be a good contributer for a rookie, or do you think we will try for douglas roberts? Nicolas Batum check out his videos on youtube

    He would be a steal I think at #25 in this draft. He was projected to go top 5 in a couple of previous drafts.

    Its worth it because he adds size and athletisism

    LOL. The NBA comparison is Rudy Gay. Finally, W22_Streak may get his chance with Rudy Gay, or a copycat.

    Who cares about chicken legs? T-mac still has chicken legs and he's is a star player. If Batum can play half as good as T-mac, it won't matter.

    Anyone else think DeVon Hardin is gonna be a bigger, more intimidating Carl Landry? He's quite a physical specimen.

    He doesn't have the skill set that Landry does, but has that size and athletism I think that the rockets should covet. I wouldn't be upset if the rockets drafted him.

    I saw him playing the Euroleague as it is transmitted here in Argentina, he has been choking at the big stage year after year, i don´t know if he is ready, i would trade him but to let him stay overseas for one or maybe two more years.

    He is big and tall but he plays soft,that's why he is a first round bubble pick.

    who else would you take if not this guy ? I dont see anything good besides him after around the 15th pick. is it worth packaging this pick and some players for someone?
