D.J White is so much better than Taj Gibson. He should at least be ranked 18 .

Hey Rob Ski in any arena numbers dont lie sports, business etc. it’s like the old saying goes it is what it is. However I will agree with you (rob ski) Tyrese should not enter this years draft due to the depth at the PG position he should come back for his Senior season b/c if he does he will be a top 20 pick in the ’09 draft hands down. I am not a BC fan I just give props were props are due and the man is a beast. 1st team all ACC 4 votes from being a unanimous pick. I know the scout personally for the boston celtics (his name is Jamie Young) him and my cousin went to college together and they want Rice this year!!! In the 2nd round Doc River’s loves Tyrese’s game so go do your research before you start talking about unbiased scouts because obviously your opinion is a bit biased. .

What teams have not realized is there is a beast potentially in this draft. JOHN RIEK. The guy can can touch the rim standing coz of his 7’2 hight and a long wingspan. The next Dikembe Mutumbo. .

Thank you Rob Ski. People keep in mind the name DeMarcus Nelson in the NBA Draft. Mock drafts have him getting drafted in the 2ND Round eventhough there was talk about DeMarcus as player of the year. Expect DeMarcus to be a slasher, defensive specialist, rebounder & taking care of the little things. Oh and steals...he will have many of those. On the offense of end he will not be a 3point shooter. NBA range is to long for the way DeMarcus shoots. He kind of cups the ball when he shoots. Most of his points will indeed come in the paint. Can anyone challenge me on those points? .

UHH PARDON ME BUT RICE WAS ACC PLAYER OF THE WEEK (NOT YEAR). WITH THAT SAID, IT WAS AN EXTREMLY IMPRESSIVE SHOOTING PERFORMANCE BY TYRESE... BUT REFRAIN FROM INSULTING TY LAWSON, IT WAS HIS FIRST GAME BACK. I AGREE THAT HE HAS NO HELP, BUT THAT IS FAR FROM THE POINT... AND THE JAY - Z METAPHOR DOESNT APPLY TO SPORTS BECAUSE IN SPORTS NUMBERS CAN LIE DEPENDING ON YOUR POSITION. IF YOUR A FAN YOU TEND TO SHOW FAVOR. BUT AN UNBIAS NBA SCOUT WILL SEE THE FLAWS OF HIS GAME IF TRANSITIONING TO THE NBA... ILL PIGGYBACK THAT GUY TO EMPHASIZE MY POINT, AND AS MUCH AS I DESPISE DUKE, DEMARCUS NELSON ISNT A MORE PURE SHOOTER THAN TYRESE , HOWEVER HIS SKILL-SET IS BETTER SUITED FOR THE NBA THAN RICE’S...AND TO FURTHER AMPLIFY MY POINT HERE IS A LIST OF PEOPLE WHOSE NUMBERS HAVE LIED...1.THOSE THAT I STATED ON THE PREVIOUS ENTRY... 2.KWAYME BROWN, 3.SEBASTIAN TELFAIR,4. MILES SIMON,5.-11. ALL DUKE PLAYERS (EXCEPTION TO GRANT HILL) AND THE DISGRACE OF TARHEEL NATION...12.JOSEPH FORTE...NOW THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO SHOW YOU GUYS (va2up2down & atkshun12) THE LIGHT, IF NOT YOU ALL ARE JUST BEING NAIVE IF YOU EVEN THINK THIS KID SHOULD EVEN ENTER THIS YEARS DRAFT. HE BETTER GET HIS DEGREE. IM OUT. .
