Who is this guy? Nas? Bucket?

Shit, I had to edit this three times to get the spelling right.

I'm not sure but in the chat room some of the guys were really high on this guy and happy to get him.

Yeah, I see Bucket had him going to Portland at 30. He describes him as Darius Miles with basketball smarts and defensive skills. That's very interesting.

I went to that draftexpress.com site and they have a 2007 mock draft up complete with 60 picks.

I find that a little disturbing.

I wanted Brewer, but I'll trust Pax on this one. If anything, I take comfort in the fact that he took Sefolosha ahead of both Brewer and Carney. If he took Thabo after those two, I'd probably be crabby that they just missed out on my guys. At least now I know he wanted Sefolosha the whole time. Pax has a good track record, so I'll be optimistic until I see otherwise.

Actually, I wasn't comparing him to Darius per se, I was suggesting he'd challenge for his job if he were drafted by Portland. Different body types. Miles is long, athletic, but not very strong and not fundamentally sound. Sefolosha is a bit more compact, probably not as quick, but a more solid all around guy. The pick didn't excite me necessarily, but I'll reserve judgement until I see him play at the next level. He was obviously Pax's guy, so I'll go with it.

Also scary that their mocks can be pretty close, they've had us getting Thabo for a while now, at least months

We are of a like mind on this one. You know Brewer was my guy. However, if Pax feels strongly enough about Sefolosha to trade a high 2nd round pick for him, I'll have to trust the expert opinion.

Any amateur who says they know much about Sefolosha is just blowing smoke. I don't know anything about him, so I cannot get excited either way.

Just reading up on the guy he sure sounds a lot like Doug Christie.

I like him because he is big and plays great defense. So no longer will Chris Duhon or Kirk have to guard T-Mac or LeBron. I like this pick and I trust Pax to find good Euros. Like Songaila and Nocioni.

Songalia was a veteran who played at either Georgia Tech or Wake Forest. Nocioni is from South America.

That is correct but he's from Lithuania and Nocioni is from Argentina but I think I meant foreign.

Watched Tape on Shepo the night before on NBA channel. Studio guys really liked him and said he could be a great fit for the Bulls because he can Score and his Defense isn't lacking where Skiles would sit his ass.

I was the one who wanted him in the chat room

Brewer's shot isnt good enough for the NBA. He is a great scorer in college and a Bench NBA Player
