Just To Lighten The Mood

[oldmangrouch]

If you prowl enough mock drafts on the internet, it is amazing what you will find.

One site, I believe it is called "Hoopsworld", had a great prediction for the Blazers. Did you know the Blazers traded up in round 2 so they could draft "Tiny" Gallon?

Never heard of him? I sure hadn't. He is listed as 6'8" (or maybe 6'9"). He played last season at 320lbs - but he buckled down and "only" weighed 302 for try-outs. He is described as a potentially good defensive rebounder, with the offensive game of a SF.

A 300+lbs SF? No wonder KP invested $2 Million of PA's money to move up. Especially since most mocks predict he won't be drafted at all!

I guess the Vulcans and Woj aren't the only KP critics. I want some of what these dingbats are smoking!

hoopsworld has about as much credibility as kingspeed's "sources"

haha, that did lighten the mood.

6'9.5"
302 lbs.
15.1 body fat%

He's huge but I'm sick of face-up PFs.

Tiny Gallon had a better body fat % at the combine than Cousins.

Beast.

Actually he is going to be drafted in the 2nd round, I don't know where you saw him being undrafted, but I have seen him pegged as being a 2nd rounder on most draft sites....

As for POR, they are looking for a physical 4, which he is...so I think it makes sense...Samardo Samuels could possibly be another player they take...but I think both are fall back options, if they can't secure another 1st rounder....

Since he won't allow any motion, McMillan's slow system needs size to get to the basket, instead of all the skinny guys Pritchard gets.

Tiny Gallon's name should be Giant Half-pint.
