rving didn't do the trials because... well, why would he? He's guaranteed of going at #1, and as pointed out, this isn't a strong class. Any failure on the physical/skills testing would have been blown all out of proportion.


Well according many sources actually hurt his self skipping the athletics, since he has to answer lots of questions considering that he lost the most of the season because of an injury. Medical tests will be a key for him.

I think Donatas Motiejunas will be the steal in the first round.Not much is being said of him as of now.Projected to go from 9-13 in the draft.

Has good height, athletic, sweet jumper. Unlike Bargnani he has some post moves. Could be the next Nowitzki.

And does he have a contract in Europe still? And possibly a buy-out? The way I understand it Valuncianas might not be ready to play this season.

And does anyone know something about Vucevic? Could he be the #3 Center in the draft? (after Kanter and Valuncianas)

Crunchy! If you eat fast enough

He has plenty red flags...like being soft, and not good at D. He is much more Bargiani than Dirk. If he turns out to be as good as Bargiani i will actually be surprised...

Yes. But if he lands in the right situation with the right coach and system I think its possible.
Dirk was drafted by Milwaukee but traded to the Mavs which played a jump shooting style under Don Nelson. Perfect fit.

I hope Suns take Donatas at pick 13. Don't trust the Warriors to develop players.

Not sure I understand what you're saying... you're talking about the injury he had almost a year ago?
