TT and Hammy

His take on Tristan….“He doesn’t jump out of the gym”- I would disagree, he’s a Tyson Chandler type of athlete.
“Thompson doesn’t have any glaring weaknesses in his game” – free throws, lack of go-to post moves.
With that said TT has a ton of potential and I see him coming off the board really early. The new coach of the Raptors stresses defense so with that said.
5. Rapters – TT
20. T-Wolves – Hamilton

I had seen a lot of lower projections for TT

But recently I’ve seen him as early as #4, and some people saying he’s now a lock for the top ten. I won’t pretend to know the NBA draft dynamics very well right now, but I think he’s looking like a likely 8-12 guy, and Hamilton toward the last ten picks of the round.

This is like O. Henry and Alanis Morrisette had a baby, and named it "This Exact Situation."

Jordan Hamilton’s crazy shot selection is coming back to haunt him right now.

Wonder if he regrets leaving early.

just benefited from being a teammate of Spurs GM R.C. Buford’s son, Alexis Wangmene. Picked 29th.

Probably wasn't a "terrible" decision.

Hey, they’re both gonna make some good money either here or overseas doing what they love – and not having to go to school. However, you are dead-on right in thinking that, if they had stayed at UT, it’s highly likely they woulda worked themselves into top 10 position in the draft at a later date. The college game is so much different now. Your (& my) perspective is that it’s not a good decision for these guys to leave too early. But that’s just it: It’s OUR perpective as UT fans. It sure as heck ain’t good for the Longhorns winning. This year, especially, since Kansas just had a mass exodus of talent, Texas coulda run the table in the conference, had eveyone stayed. I, for one, am gettin’ sick of this consistent lack of upperclassmen talent.
