Hmmm

That’s dumb . We’ll possibly have 4 NBA draft picks next year .

I'm pretty sure that's for this year's team and not next year's

That appears to be the case. I would say Pons and James as very long shots, but I doubt either leave, and I'm not sure either would be drafted at this point. Agree with the other poster that there are a minimum of 4 or so potential picks next year. (Pons, Fulk, James, Springer, and who knows about some of the others)

 

[Special Ed]

I'd love to be able to bolster our post position with a steroid version of Uros Plavsic who plays with the gusto of John Fulkerson.

I would be shocked if anyone goes pro before '21. rating was what I expected. wouldn't rule out makuing it to elite 8

 

[goldvol]

Fulky's good, and he's our big man, but i dont think of him as a Center in the traditional sense.

 

[Vol49er]

Need to find some rebounding help somehow, then I’ll feel confident in being a top 15 team
