      Nice one. I've always said he's not 5'10" as SOOO many have been saying. Its ridiculous.
      There's a reason he's listed at 6'1" on UConns website.

        I probably could have put this in one of the general draft threads but I'm a rolling stone

          Not bad size, but I am still keeping my options open.

          Any link?

            Was off chad ford's twitter. There'll probably be a article or whatever a little later on I can link to.

            That Morris pg out of Michigan has intriguing size. Didnt see many Michigan games though, no idea how he plays. Apparently he's tearing up workouts.

              I followed him a bit throughout the year, he needs to improve his range but he can fill up a stat sheet. Good passer and shows confidence in his teammates.

                Extremely capable defender as well

                Edit: wait you're probably talking about Morris

                  That puts all the rumours to bed. However, how much of an upgrade is he than Bayless? While I slowly warmed up to what Walker brings to the table - I do like his intangibles, that size of his and that jumpshot worries me. He'll have to work hard on that jumpshot. If Colangelo selects him, I'll back it. But if Williams drops and Kanter is around at 5 and Walker is the pick, I will admit that I'd be disappointed.

                    Fully Agree.
                    I do not think that Kemba is necessarily the IDEAL pick for us, but I wouldn't be against it if we picked him.
                    I think there are other players that will fill a more apparent need, and as you said, if Kanter is available, then there shouldn't even be a question as to who we take.

                      Yeah I'd certainly take Kanter over him but it certainly makes the selection of walker a hell of a lot easier to stomach. He's a champion, and that's the type of guy we need.

                        If Walker is indeed the pick, you know that the selection would be welcomed by at least one of the members of this team (DeRozan). Calderon would have to be gone and I guess if you go small, you could always used Kemba at the 1, Bayless at the 2 and DeRozan at the 3. That would be a shitload of speed and athleticism on the court.

                              To me its Kanter or nothing and BC knows that too.
