DraftExpress: Lorenzo Brown=big time stud, huge get for NC State. Big PG with athleticism and a great feel. Makes right read on pick&roll every time. Wow

DraftExpress: Watching #1 prospect in 2012, Andre Drummond. Can see where that's coming from, even if he's obviously still a baby. Need to keep following.

DraftExpress: RT @kpelton: Great, great, great article on the pick-and-roll's importance in the NBA from @jpdabrams: http://tinyurl.com/ydt9s4o

DraftExpress: @hoopshype re: AI to NYK- Don't like AI, but this is a no brainer. No draft pick, no PG, hopeless situation, so what do they have to lose?

DraftExpress: If Marcus Ginyard keeps hitting shots all season he's got a nice chance of getting drafted. Lockdown defenders who can spotup have value.

DraftExpress: One of the goals of tonight was to get a better feel for Deon Thompson. Came away a bit underwhelmed, and sounds like most scouts did too.

DraftExpress: Ohio State doesn't have a single player on their team that can put the ball on the floor besides Evan Turner. That's a major problem.

DraftExpress: Evan Turner's reluctance to shoot the outside J is probably the main thing holding him back at this point. If he improves here, watch out

DraftExpress: Not an overwhelming game for Ed Davis, but I'm impressed by his passing ability and overall unselfishness. Seems like a great teammate.

DraftExpress: William Buford cannot get to the rim to save his life. I know your jumper is pretty and all, but try to make things just a little easier...

DraftExpress: For both himself and others. His agility and dexterity with the ball makes him so dangerous, especially w/better talent around him.

DraftExpress: This won't end up being a very good night for Evan Turner, but I'm still really impressed with the way he moves,passes, handles and creates

DraftExpress: Would love to watch a free throw contest between Arinze Onuaku and Dallas Lauderdale. Wow he has ugly form.

DraftExpress: Dallas Lauderdale is one long dude. Some scouts here talking him up. Doing a great job man to man on Deon Thompson and protecting paint.

DraftExpress: Ohio State offense is a travesty, 11 points in 13 minutes. Carolina doing a great job crowding Evan Turner. Ed Davis has been active so far.

DraftExpress: One guy here has a laptop he busts out at every timeout, but most don't write anything. Some don't even seem to be watching the game

DraftExpress: Always interesting for me to see how the scouts at these events go about evaluating guys. Some take notes w/pen & paper, some on blackberry

DraftExpress: Main event, North Carolina-Ohio State about to tip off. Excited to see how Evan Turner handles the waves of def about to be thrown at him.

DraftExpress: NBA scout sitting next to me says that Wesley Johnson is a "probable lottery pick" in his opinion. If he keeps playing this way all season..

DraftExpress: Patrick Christopher hasn't done much to change anyone's opinion of him. Great college player but lacks physical tools. Next Henry Domercant?

Blog: LeBron James Skills Academy Recap
by  Jonathan Givony
With the 2009 NBA Draft in the rearview mirror, it’s time to start thinking about 2010 and beyond, which prompted us to spend a few days at the LeBron James Skills Academy in Akron, Ohio. We were able to take in a number of top high school and college prospects, many of whom will be featured prominently on this site in coming years. In this initial report, we talk about who made it out to the camp and what they worked on, while our second report will feature evaluations of those who stood out the most.
Has the High School Class of 05 Doomed the 2009 NBA Draft?
by  Jonathan Givony
The 2005 high school class was chastised right from the get-go for being one of the weakest and shallowest groups of players ever when it entered the college ranks four years ago. Now that four years have passed and the dust has settled on the recruiting rankings, we take a look back to see how it really panned out, and what effect that might have on the 2009 NBA draft.
