But I think the fact that one of Oden's legs is longer than the other probably should have been paid more attention to. But he seems like he's a good guy and I hope he has a better season next year.
It depends on how long it went unnoticed and what other problems developed because of it. I knew an olympic skier from Austria, who broke his leg as a kid. The two leg bones didn't grew equally afterwards, and he ended up having hip and spine problems.Can't that be solved with specially made shoes or is it more complicated than that?
Man I wish we had tanked last year, Derrick Rose is so sick.
Well Rubio has declared for the draft. Pray that we get the first pick in the draft. Its time for good fortune to smile on the Kings....
So you think they take him over Griffin? My gut tells me (maybe wishful thinking on my part) that the Kings wouldn't pick Griffin if they had the #1 pick and if Rubio wasn't in this draft.

Those of you who want Rubio better pray for the 2nd pick. I doubt Petrie will pick Rubio number 1 nor will he trade down to get Rubio.

Oh well since you doubt it I better get on my knees and start praying right now.
He better not. Can you imagine had the Bulls traded down for Michael Beasley because they already have a PG?
Forget the trading down thing! If we're lucky enough to land the #1 pick, thank the Basketball God and pick the best player! That's all there is to it.

The draft just doesn't work like that. The Bulls didn't trade down because they thought Rose was the better player who would have a bigger impact at their team (so far they were right). Hinrich had dropped off considerabley and wasn't getting any younger...all the more reason to draft Rose. They had a choice to bench or get rid of a older declining PG and Draft a new PG or get rid of a young rising PF and draft a new PF... We are faced with pretty much the same situation except the "experts" have Blake Griffin being the overall better player right now, which I don't necessarily dissagree with, but I think Rubio or another PG is just the better fit for us.
Wall could declare? He's going to be 19 right?
Thats true. I'm still interested why he would be considered eligible. I know its not age because Mayo was 19 when he graduate high school, not really pertinent to this draft or Walls but still interesting.
He is not-post graduate (last year's class was not his "graduating class"), so it appears this year is his graduating class, making him not eligible until next year. Wall himself said he is not a post-graduate 5th year.You have to be 19 and one year removed from your graduating class. Wall is a 5th year senior so some have speculated that he might be eligible for the draft, Mayo was actually int he same situation as well. We don't really know if he's actually eligible or if this is a true loophole because it hasn't really been challenged yet.

Last year's class is not his original graduating class, because he was apparently not eligible to graduate with them. You can't be considered a part of that graduating class, if you were not eligible to graduate at the same time as them. If it took me 6 years to be eligible to graduate from college, my graduating class would be the one graduating in that 6th year, not the one eligible to graduate two years ealrier than me. That's why he's not considered a "post-graduate" 5th year student.The rule states that he would have to be one year removed from his graduating class or, one year removed from the year his class would have graduated. Which was obviously put in for those that for some reason couldn't graduate and then dropped out.
So the loophole, if there is one, is what if he decides to forget school and just apply for the draft. Whereas he still doesn't have a diploma, and his original graduating class graduated over a year ago, is he elligible? Hell if I know, but that seems to be the point of contention.![]()
