Knicks used pick No. 48 in the NBA Draft to select Kostas Papanikolaou from Greece.  A 21-year-old small/power forward combo who has already proven himself on the biggest stage in Europe against NBA level competition. At first I was a little shocked by the pick.  I thought guys like William Buford, Kyle O’Quinn, Drew Gordon, [...]

NBA Draft day 2012 is finally here.  After all the build-up and when the dust settles, one of the deepest drafts talent pools in recent memory will have found themselves a place to play at the highest level. Every year there’s going to be guys who fulfill their expectations by working hard, learning, and staying [...]

Arnett Moultrie out of Mississippi State most-likely isn’t going to end up in the lottery as once projected during Thursday’s NBA Draft, but instead will be a steal for any team picking from 14-30. Moultrie led the entire SEC in rebounding last season with 10.6 per game meaning he played in the same conference as [...]

Barton was the Conference USA Player of the Year averaging 18.1 points per game, 8.1 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per [...]

The ping pong balls may not bounce your team’s way tonight, but there will be no losers in the NBA lottery because of the stacked draft class that awaits. The prize is Anthony Davis out of Kentucky and the most likely recipient is Michael Jordan’s Charlotte Bobcats, but say the ‘Cats don’t win the lottery [...]

The point guards that Calipari has had in the last five years set the bar high for Marquis Teague.  Coach Calipari has had guards like Derrick Rose, Tyreke Evans, John Wall, and Brandon Knight, but none of them were ever able to hang a National Championship banner. The poise that Teague showed throughout the NCAA [...]

6-10 220 UK freshman phenom Anthony Davis is the prize of the 2012 NBA draft.  You can argue Harrison Barnes, Andre Drummond, Perry Jones III, Thomas Robinson, Jared Sullinger, and even fellow UK freshman Michael Kidd-Gilchrist as the top pick in the draft but any team that doesn’t take Davis is going to regret it.  [...]
