I wasn't ripping Redick, his numbers do that for him. Injury or not, Duke players (other than Carlos Boozer and Shane Battier) are not so great in the NBA. Ok, I will give you Mark Alarie but that is as generous as I get.

Hilarious.....laughing for minutes....I hope they give him a GIANT shoe deal....hahahaha

Duke players are notorious for being flops in the NBA with the exception of Boozer and Grant Hill for a little bit. But in Coach K defence many Duke players play the game right and play with the best intentions of the team (Battier), and not for individual glory. Unless your Lattner and you think your game tight because you hit a game winning and were charity on the dream team. Him, Starbury, and hopefully not Randy Foye go down as the worst first round picks in T-wolves history. So if the wolves draft him I might throw a few eggs at Kevin McHale's house.

Dukes dont always prove to be superstars...but look at the team with players that stay the longest in the NBA

1. North Carolina - 8 yrs.
2. Duke - 6 yrs.
3. Uconn - 5.5 yrs.

You guys are forgetting the good dukies ....Deng (chi), Maggette (clips), Duhon (chi - he's a d stopper and back up point...thats what was he in college, so your getting the same thing)....

I agree, duke's players arent necessarily superstars, but they are solid and consistent...

Look at Lattener...look at Hill - theyve been around forever

WRONG!!!!! ... EBI????? losing 3 number ones due to Joe Smith....Felton Spencer, Luc Longley, William Avrey (Duke), Paul Grant???, trading Ray Allen for Starburry - this franchise is like the Devil Rays of the NBA, I hate being such a big wolves fan....

KK, I throw eggs every thursday night...come with me, McHale lives in Muzzy's parents neighboorhood....

One of you may want to email Chad Ford and let him know what's up. Maybe Billy King, too, although evidence suggests he's a lost cause...

PICK TEAM PLAYER VITALS

#21 Philadelphia
(via Denver)

Josh McRoberts Position: PF
Height: 6-10
Weight: 230
Age: 20
School: Duke

The skinny: Sixers GM Billy King loves Duke players, and McRoberts has a lot more talent than his box scores at Duke suggest. He's tall, athletic and very skilled, but he played most of his career out of position at Duke.

He's not a go-to type player, but he should be a better, more athletic version of Luke Walton.

oh that billy king. he's a smart one. he drafts well, never overpays mediocre players, and always gets good deals back in trades. sike.

Horn,

Yes there are many bad draft picks in T-wolves history, but those 3 killed our frachise. Lattner by being baby, Ray Allen ROY, Bradon Roy ROY.....Killed us....Ebi was a bad pick but there s only 3 other guys I would have picked besides him, Luke Walton, Jason Kapono and JOSH HOWARD!!
Here is a website to check out every draft from 1983 to 2003......http://www.sportsstats.com/jazzyj/drafts/index.html

T-Wolves draft Corey Brewer or Mike Conley at 7 and I will finallly be happy...they draft McRoberts or Noah....Bye Bye Bye McHale Finally....

[horn17]

I have a good source in the front office for the wolves .....there WILL be a trade come draft day for the wolves....who and for what has not been mentioned, but there were some pretty extensive meetings taking place today, and are scheduled over the next two weeks....

so all you bulls, portland, laker, mavs, and hawks fans...look out, there might be a KG sighting in your neighboorhood...

Foye was a good pick, he was unguardable earlier this year...I look at Whitman's misuse of his players to show that Foye didnt flash like he could...McCants is extremely overrated....Foye will be steady for the next two years - but my concern is why they gave Whit an extention today if they werent focusing on REBUILDING (meaining trading KG).....But McHale cant judge talent so everything he does comes and no shock value anymore....Cough, Cough, Rick Rickert, Cough , Cough.....

1 good year since 89.....ouch.....

Pistons star Rasheed Wallace was asked what he thought of the league moving Game 2 to Thursday to avoid a television conflict with "American Idol." "It's all about money," he said. "You all know what it is -- this is the WWF out here. I ain't got to say any more about it."

You guys watch too much sports center.

[anklebreaker]

If KG goes to the Hawks, I will NEVER watch basketball again!!!!

Here's a new question!

KG for the #1 pick?
KG for the #2 pick?

Jailblazers fans feel free to chim in........

[FlockOfSeagulls]

a) as a mavs fan, id trade dirk and next year's number one for KG and a number two....

b) is zach randolph gone if the blazers pick oden? or is aldridge gone? again, id love either one as a mavs fan....

c) did i just go through a whole thread ripping on dukies in the nba without a single mention of the single best duke grad in the nba - Elton Brand? if so, yall are slipping...
