Then you've obviously never seen, heard about, or talked to Luol.
I went to a camp with this kid, he's one of the nicest guys I've ever met. Extremely level-headed, he was the best player at this camp (by far) and was convinced that he was out of the running for MVP because he only went 3-10 from 3, and scored 15 points in one game (he averaged about 25/10/7 for the camp).
He is truely a great person, a great unselfish player, and an incredible athlete. This was before his senior season at Blair Acadamy.
Also, his family is extremely academic based. He's a big reader (I've never been to a basketball camp where someone could actually discuss American Literature), and his family is pretty much set on him getting a degee; as is he.
He'll probably follow the Emeka Okafor/Jay Williams/Carlos Boozer road, and graduate in three years. But his family is REALLY pushing for him to get a degree.
He's well worth a franchise pick, though.
