TLDL:

CM let TB go through the NBA draft process while staying out of it.

Really excited about Kanter. Wanted to add to the front court with Gaston leaving. Got a guy with experience and a different skillset from OMara and Jones. Can make some 3s, pass, and handle the ball from the perimeter. This could allow XU to play 2 big guys at once when needed to match up against other teams that do like UC.

CM thinks Ed will get drafted second round. Teams will "redshirt" him next year and allow him to heal, getting a first round talent in the second round.

CM talks about how good of a guy DWest is.

CM talks about Dante being a great motivator even as a player. Being back in the midwest should help him.

CM thinks Ed will get drafted second round.

This fits with everything I've seen in mock drafts.

[D-West & PO-Z]

This fits with everything I've seen in mock drafts.

Yeah I've seen as high as the 3rd pick in the 2nd round.

He's the perfect player for the new draft-and-stash rule. NBA teams are also far more likely to get long-term production out of him than most second rounders.

I hope like Hell he falls to my Pacers in the second round. Let him learn, work on his jumper then take over for shitty Jeff Teague. I am still mad Larry Bird got rid of George Hill for Teague. Thank god Bird was fired errr resigned this year
