No. He didn't enter the draft last year because he had the stress fracture in his foot. He played well this year, but didn't really improve on his sophomore season. I think the upside for him is questionable, stress fracture injuries are always a red flag for 7 footers, and most of the reason he was ranked as highly as #4 in the first place is media hype owing to his playing three years at Kentucky. Most of the players in the top 10 are one-and-one teenagers. To pick a 22 year old with injury history in the top 10 you really have to believe in his upside. I could be wrong, but I always thought 10-14 is where his actual value is.

That's just not true.

At this point both DX and NDnet (haven't changed theirs in 6 hours though; I assume final change is coming) both agree on:
1. KAT
4. 'Staps
8. Stanimal
18. Tyus Jones
25. Jarell Martin
This was as good as called by commissioner last year this late in the process.

I am not sure about Winslow, but I guess he could be a good SG. We need to rid ourselves of the last two 1st round picks.

DX probably will update once or twice more before the draft. They did the last couple years. If I am not mistaken they updates like 25mins before the draft last year.

Yeah for some reason Winslow just doesn't excite me.

Two more alignments:
1. KAT
4. 'Staps (apparently there's a big possibility of trade between Knicks and Hornets)
8. Stanimal
9. Kaminski
12. Lyles
18. Tyus Jones
25. Jarell Martin

I stand corrected, hadn't seen that before!

It's cool, I didn't see it either until yesterday. :) But it makes sense. Noel was injured before the draft a year earlier and still got drafted in the top 10, but he was regarded as a potential #1 pick at that point and slid all the way to #6. A mid-lotto guy like Cauley-Stein might have slid even further so he decided to come back and improve his stock.

Napier:

Mario Hezonja may be available; he may not be on the board if Orlando takes him; if so, Winslow will be there at 6; if Hezonja and Winslow are on the board at 6, one will almost certainly be named by the Kings. WCS behind the other two...some feel Knicks take Porzingas; then there's Hezonja and Winslow; thinks Mudiay is a darkhorse.

I'd be ok with Hezonja, Winslow, or Mudiay because they all have the potential to be two-way players, but Hezonja is my favorite.

We are clearly the laughing stock of the league right now.

It's sad crooked agents and mf'ers like PDA just walk all over our team and our city like this.

It's getting worse. Now there is an ESPN report that Vivek is considering firing Karl. We're going to the a clown show that no team has seen before.

If the choice of the top talents left is Winslow/Mudiay or reach on WCS or Frank I hope we go with Mudiay or reach. I'm not sure what Winslow brings to the team that we don't already have. He's not big enough to play SF, can't handle enough to shift to 1. If you draft him you have to dump either Ben or Stauskas. Maybe I haven't done enough research, but he seems like a similar player to Ben only a couple years younger so I'm not sure why you spend a 6 on something that's redundant at that point. I'd rather go Mudiay since he brings something we don't have, or just reach on WCS.
