Brandon Rush on Gary Roberts Wedneday

If Rush somehow drops to My Toronto Raptors thanks to some prototypical NBA stupidity, I will be overjoyed.  Heck, I’d be happy with Chris Douglas-Roberts at 17th, and you’re telling me there’s a chance we could get the man who will bring the high fade back to Canada?

This year Rush was rated the number one small forward in the nation by Rivals.com, selected as a Wooden All-American for the second time, given the MVP award for the Big 12 Tournament, and crowned an NCAA Champion!  Not too shabby.

He possesses great athleticism (don’t forget that his knee surgery from last summer may have held him back this past season), along with the unselfishness necessary to fit in with an NBA team.  He’s a consistent scorer that can step up in big games, as he proved by scoring 25 against UNC in the Final Four.  He’s everything you want in a pick outside of the top five!  He’s awesome, baby!
