I wouldn't touch WCS. No skill set to speak of.

My Top 4 would be:
1. Okafor
2. Towns
3. Russell
4. Hezonja

And yes, I've seen less of Hezonja than Mudiay. I just don't think Mudiay will translate like people think he will (next John Wall).

Oh I don't want Cauley-Stein either especially not at four. I just would prefer him on the team to Mudiay.

Those other names are much better, for sure.

Yep, I don't see anything resembling Wall in those vids. Wall had a ton of critics in his year at UK but he was electric in terms of his athleticism, explosiveness and ability to finish. Mudiay, in his most recent games in the playoffs in China, looked absolutely nothing like 2010 John Wall.

Some crazy sh*t involving ex-Knick Chris Copeland. Glad to hear he and his girlfriend are in stable condition.

4AM in a nightclub? Don't these NBA players have morning practices/walkthroughs? You would think they'd want to be at least a little bit awake or alert for them.

Makes me wonder all the nonsense that JR Smith was doing while he was out here.

It's the same thing I said to my girlfriend.

Yes, no one should be stabbed. But what the heck are these guys doing out that late at their age when there's a game the next day?

Sometimes I think it's no secret why some guys never become better than they are.

Probably one of the many reasons JR is doing better in Cleveland.

Reminds me of when Melky Cabrera was traded away from the Yanks. Robinson Cano's batting average went up significantly because him and Melky weren't at the salsa clubs.

As for Copeland, apparently he was thinking about returning to the Knicks. Wonder if this would change his mind.

I don't think morning shootarounds really exist anymore. NBA plays sleep in very late, there's no point in coaches trying to wake their players up early. Might as well let them rest and not try to fight the situation.

If you have a 7pm game, you're out of the arena probably around 10:30-11 and you're still wired and wide awake. Go get a late meal, try to unwind, etc. You're not falling asleep at a reasonable hour. That's the cycle they get into. I think most guys are up until 3-4am on a regular basis anyway.

I have no problem if they're out late and being responsible but if they're hammered then yes, it's a problem. I'm not delusional enough to think that millionaire 20-somethings aren't going to go out and have a good time, especially when they're in NYC.
