Are you guys really serious about drafting this guy?...

yesterday against Albany, he scored 8 point and only got 4 rebounds in 28 minutes...Is he seriously a guy that you want to base purely because of his "potential"?...I mean c'mon before anybody gets serious about drafting him he needs to atleast prove he can play at the college level...I mean c'mon Albany?...The guy disappears and I think a team could make a monumental risk if they take this guy anywhere near top 5 in the draft...weak draft or not...

I'm also hearing Calhouns trying to talk some sense into this guy and telling him he really needs to come back...I'm hoping he listens, because Calhouns usually produces some good NBA players and Calhouns can form him into one with time...but right now it would be a huge mistake...

People I think we should draft....

#1 if he comes out, Aldridge
#2 Morrison

based on tourney performance thus far (one game), gay is not the guy you want. Aldridge or Brandon Roy would be assets, and Morrison would fill a role nicely.

Gay should stay in college another year he isnt ready

Gay I think will be a star. But he does need another year, or 2 in college. But if he comes out, do you blame him? He'd be taken top 5. That's hard to pass up.

I'd draft Brandon Roy or LaMarcus Aldridge if he comes out if you can.

I am not so sure he will be top 5 come draft time. People will be remembering Marvin Williams on draft day.

If Gay doesn't step it up, people are more likely to remember Darius Miles athletic ability and promised potential, but refusal to put it together for big games and consistently.

But in terms of lack of rebounds, Morrison only had two, so you can't really complain about Gay's 4.

Marvin has been coming alive in the past few weeks. Watch a few Hawks games and you'll see he'll be a star. So if a GM thinks Marvin with Gay he probably will be top 5.

No doubt. Marvin Williams is doing just fine, considering he's only 19 years old.

Basing where a player should be drafted on a single game, as zags is predictably doing here, is silly. Gay is no less skilled or big or young because of his failure to excel in the first round matchup.

That being said, I wasn't speaking from merely a first round matchup perspective. I have seen Uconn play several times this year and the best I have seen from him is an non inspiring 18 point performance. He needs more time in college, definitly.

Check the "Brandon Roy" thread I got #1 Morrison #2 Aldridge #3 Roy...I am not sold on Gay at all.

Bargnani, Aldridge would be my top 2 picks.

Roy should not be taken in the lotto. Maybe late lotto, 17ish. Isn't he kind of a tweener?

Roy has perfect size at 6'6 for the SG...good athlete, not a track star by Rodney Carney standards but no slouch

great handle and now that he has added a solid college 3 point range jumper he is that much better

Roy will be taken #6-10 IMO

Didn't know he was 6'6, sorry about that. Idk, I just don't get a real good NBA player vibe from him.

I just hope we get Morrison or Aldridge.

I've never seen him listed at 6'6" before. I've seen him at 6'8" and, at espn.com, at 6'9".

He's a practical lock for the top 5 if he comes out and a probable top 3 pick.

They were talking about Roy with the 6'6".

And sorry to nitpick zags, but it's Calhoun, not Calhouns.

He'll go top 10 at worst IMO...suppose that's what makes the draft fun.

I know what his name is, it's called a typo...
