    I see that you're a big fan of the NBA/Bobcats, and I'd love if you could stop by a site that I work on and make the Bobcats (or any team you'd like) pick for them in our fan interactive mock draft! Thanks!

    Brett, sorry about deleting your "per-36" references and consequently changing your stats in your slide show. Yeah, there are 48 minutes in a pro game so I don't know what I was thinking. I'll make sure not to do that again.

    I have been hearing that Andrew Wiggins may go to Ky: but I am not going to get excited about that unles he does.I mean we have a great class,but any one would be blind not to want a grea player like that at there school no matter how good the class already is.I have a feeling Brett that that we have got to waite this one out,but hopefuly he wears Ky blue.

    Brett I do believe that is a strong pos- because he did not get to finish the season.In my mind I am sure that Noel would be no31 hands down with a finished season,but do to the injury no matter how good he is Cody has had a great year and has been good all season.I would not be at all suprised if he is 1st and I hope that Noel gets to be 2nd but im not sure on that I am sure he will top 5.

    Hey Brett,
    Just my opinion here, but when a player puts his heart and soul on the court, goes off to puke, puts in one of the most dominating performances in NBA history, and then collapses in the arms of his right hand man fellow player, he has a serious bro-mance with that player. I thought that this was the only group missing from your article. I am of course talking about Jordan and Pippen. It's not a poem but this quote is definitely bro-mantic "After MJ's epic performance, Pippen would say, "He's the greatest, and everyone saw why tonight.""
    Other than that, absolutely loved the article.

    Hello Brett

    Alex Kennedy sometimes can not make his own mind up what he thinks lol but I am with him on this one and I do not think that you are along way off on that normaly speaking you are right on this one,but this season is different year from many others in that the truth is even with his injury not more than 2 big men comapre to his stat no# on defence and he is close in offence and was improving constantly right before the injury and the draft this season os not last year or next years in the whitch if Noel was in or had been in with the same injury he would most likely have went top 20-25 I think it is due alot to the fact of the realy good big men that he overshadowed as a freshman on a not so good of a year for strong big men...

    Best Brett.

    Brett I totaly disagree with your post on Will Carrols Noel and the draft here is why

    Never is always a word to be broking how many nevers have been proving to evers in our time alone ? Many nevers have become evers in my 46 years and Noel will be top 5 and still a very likely no# 1-2 and I know you are right about that never happening before but that is what I mean it is time for that never to become a ever but hey I might be wrong lets mark this and when the draft is over come back and post to this again ok.
