What about drafting Josh McRoberts from duke? he is 6'10" and some compare him to weber?? I have seen a couple of games hes pretty athletic nice finisher. i can see us sliding in the draft alittle near where he will be.
Whoever is comparing him to Webber must be on crack. The dude is not that good, and will not be a difference maker in the NBA. Webbber was dominant in college from the minute he stepped on the court. McRoberts hasn't even been dominant at the college level.
I read the Webber comparisons and stuff about how McRoberts is a pretty athletic big man before I ever saw him play. Then I saw him play and was really disappointed. McRoberts is about as quick up and down the court as Webber was right before his knee went *boom* and he can elevate about as well as the post-microfracture Webber.
I see the kings drafting him anf bobby brown from cal.
I dont think we will draft before 10
His stock has been slipping, might make it into the 10-15 range given the talent of this draft.
The Webb comparisons BTW were NEVER about the athleticism. In fact the comparisons were normally to a "less athletic Webber". It was to his great passing, inside outside game, court smarts etc. 5 tool player. Just maybe not athletic enough to be a huge factor in the NBA.
I can't believe some of the stuff I am reading here. McRoberts is freaking TERRIBLE. I wouldn't even take him in the 2nd round. Just awful. Have you actually seen the guy play? He sees the court pretty well. But he is slow. He has an awful post up game. He can't finish. He is the homeless man's Tyler Hansbrough. If Tyler played for Duke, Duke would be a Top 5 team. Instead, they are not ranked and have lost 5 of 6. Oh my god. I am getting angry even thinking of the Kings drafting McRoberts. Please. Stop reading retarded websites and watch the guy play. If you watch him and think he has a future in the NBA, I have a real nice bridge I could sell you.
I think he should've gone somewhere else- NC Tarheels, maybe- instead of Duke. They don't have much of a tradition for turning out unorthodox players.
