[rocket surgeon]

don't see the diamond dude showing up much must be the grades-Eyn'A

[GoldenDieners32]

I'm not a big NBA fan but I'd be SHOCKED if JFB got invited to the green room on draft night.   Was the idea once 'anyone that could go in the first 2 rounds should be present'?

You get invited if you could go first round.

So far the MU Scoop poll takers are accurate. Henry the first to be taken of the four listed.

Was that your poll question?

Brice Johnson goes 25th. Deyonta Davis not picked in the first round.

[Herman Cain]

Here is how it ended up.
18. Henry Ellenson
25. Brice Johnson
31. Deyonta Davis
51. Ben Bentil

[wadesworld]

Smart of Bentil to leave early, but Hank's foolish for doing so.  Look how far he fell, ai'na?

[Herman Cain]

Some commentary on picks. Davis story very interesting.

A very good article describing what happened to Deyonta Davis.

Listened to the agents too much.

The two guys who dropped big time - Deonte and Skal - were also the two guys who played the least in college.

In other words - it was unknown what they will become. They were not able to beat out much less "talented" players for minutes in college, so how will they be able to compete once they have to go against pros every day.

Bentil was released by the Celtics. 

[Cooby Snacks]

Bentil was released by the Celtics.

Bentil was a fun college player, but ultimately his pro upside is something like a poor man's Marreese Speights. Not surprised by this.

Good call. Just a worse shooter than Speights and gives up about 3 inches and 100 lbs.

HE rockin' da blue and red, hey?

Bentil was released by the Celtics.

an easy $250k-he had a guaranteed contract.  celtics also released 2 of their previous years first round picks-james young(#17 in 2014) and r.j. hunter(28th in 2015)  might want to release some of their scouts too, EyN'a?

Bucks would be smart to cut JET or Novak for Hunter.

Young is still on the roster. They only released Hunter. I don't think you fire your scouts because they didn't nail a late 1st Round pick. Check out the 2015 Draft, it's not like there were a lot of strong options still on the board at 28.
