Looks like our 4 eligible draftees fell a little in the draft. Murray at #7 dropped a couple spots but he should do good in Denver. Skal just made it into the first round by the skin of his teeth. I believe after the trading he will be with the Kings along with Cousins and Cauley. That's 3 big guys on there from UK. If they make a trade I wouldn't be surprised. Ulis dropped into the 2nd round but will be making it an all UK guard system at the Suns camp. Wow! four UK guards on the same team. They may just decide to make a trade somewhere. And I heard where Poythress ill be playing with the Magic's summer team. Wouldn't surprise me if he catches on with Orlando next year.

I have never felt Alex had the work ethnic to be in the NBA and still feel that way. I was not suprised he was not drafted. He may bounce around in a D league for a while but I don't see him ever playing on an NBA squad, hope I am wrong. Ulis going to the second round did not suprise me but Skal going all the way to the end of the first round did. It just goes to show you the NBA guru's from Bilas, Ford etc quite often do not know what they are talking about or writing about after the first few picks. No one had Brown from Cal in their top 10 picks, let alone third. I think he was the biggest suprise on the first round, at least to me.

I have to agree. I think Brown was a smart move. The foreign players are sure stealing a lot of the 60 spots now. I wonder if some of the 1 and dones will start making that a part of their decision process when deciding to come out. I doubt it.
