This was actually from the Summer league play by play guy last game. I've been looking at the three picks more and more, but the fact that a non Celtic announcer said it gave it some more credence.

 The kicker is getting Mickey at 33, I had to go back and look at the draft to see why he fell so far. Conclusion  was just a good draft overall.
 RJ Hunter will be a starter in the NBA, maybe not here but he's starter material no doubt. His foot speed on defense is great, super fast hands to knock the ball a away from you, fantastic length, and he's hard to screen because he's so skinny and agile.
 Downside is what I already know. Can't explode once he gets to the rim.
 And Rozier is as advertised. BBIQ slightly above average, he's lightning fast, much faster than Smart, he's a willing drive and dish guy, and an aggressive scorer.
 NBA body strong, long, great tools for defending, and gets after it on both ends. We drafted three future NBA starters, I don't know how many will start here, but I'm so glad the Winslow trade didn't happen id much rather have these three plus multiple draft picks over Winslow.

Time will tell about Winslow.  Always rather have one superstar than 3 above average starters.   He certainly looks like he could be a special player.   But I agree that our 3 are looking solid (and Thornton looked pretty good yesterday too!!)

I like the draft class but if your going to give merit to what the anouncers have been saying you also have to hear the part about, "C's have a lot of NBA talent". C's are the probably the most NBA player stacked team in SL. This means they are going to look much better than other teams and their players as most of their guys are not going to make it. Let's wait till preseason and first NBA month before we say special players.

Stan the man was my guy, he's gonna be big-time. Winslow is only 6'4" he needs a lot or work to make it at SF.
