To be honest, I don't think Noah will have a successful NBA career.

And from all the videos/tape I've seen of Splitter, he seems to be a better inside scorer and a worst defender. Something like B- inside, B- defense?

[WillC]

Two things...

- Everything I'm reading (and seeing) of Splitter suggests he's an elite defender in Europe. I appreciate that isn't saying too much, but I think he'll be a good defensive big man in the pros. His offense, however, is still raw.

- At the time of the 2007 draft, I fully expect Oden to be a better defender than string-bean Noah. Theone853, I can only assume you've never even heard of Greg Oden. Perhaps you pay as much attention to high school basketball as you do to your PM box?

That right there, is gold.

[theone853]

No I know about Oden, the so-called "next big center." I never really believe the hype until they prove it in the NBA.

It's always wonderful how he avoids the PM issue.

[theone853]

I don't deny it... I'm not the best at answering PMs

[insaneradical]

And damn, Wright and Durant are two skinny bitches

Good point. Will, do you follow their high school weights or will you add/subtract pounds to your discretion considering that they've undergone a year of college?

It shouldn't be difficult really.
