    Lonnie entering the draft

    Washington Post noted this morning that LW might be the Wizards choice. Noted, as a negative, was that he comes from a system "with no ball movement." Now, where have I heard THAT before?

    BB may not go in 1st round. Looks 50-50.

    Lonnie entering the draft

    From NBADraftNet: Weaknesses: Lacks defensive intensity, especially off the ball, as he has a habit of floating around the court instead of remaining engaged ... Looks lost at times on offense when the ball isn’t in his hands ... Needs to have the ball in order to be a threat offensively, but...

    From everything I've read, seems to me that LW is very highly regarded in NBA circles but -- as a player who will definitely need a couple years to reach his high potential.

    Either that or he'll be a bargain later in the first round. He didn't help himself as a Cane; I guess the Combine may negate his somewhat disappointing UM season.

    SI has LW going to the Wizards with the 15th pick. "The hope would be that he becomes a capable scorer and rotation piece in a couple of seasons." HoopsHype has him going #20 to the TWolves.

    Total BS. Center was a position where the skill level in the 60s was VERY strong and, with fewer teams, the talent wasn't watered down. Wilt faced guys like Bill Russell, Nate Thurmond, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Willis Reed, Walt Bellamy, and Clyde Lovellette.

    I'd still like to know more details on what the allegation against Coach L is. What was his involvement, if anything? I know he and the AD have denied any involvement. But ... that still leaves the burning question of how UM's and Coach L's name somehow magically appeared in the Feds case. It...
