Danny interviewed nerlens noel and other lottery picks. He is working out  tons of projected 2nd rounders as well even though we dont have a 2nd round pick. Danny has his poker face on, not letting other GMs know if we're trading up, trading down and what not. He didnt interview shabazz even though it would have been a great way to get to know the guy with the most personality issues and highest upside in our draft range, which leads me to believe he is shooting to get this guy by not giving him any attention.

I think Shabbazz's tourettes will make him drop like a stone.

Teams will run away from Shabazz because of what happened to Royce White. If White would have been a contributer for the rockets, Shabazz would be a top 5 pick in this draft no doubt.

Tourette's is totally different from anxiety disorder, and teams know this.

more info on it here: http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/tourette/detail_tourette.htm

It won't affect his performance. I don't see it affecting Shabazz's draft position at all. I still expect him to go in the top 10. If anything hurts his value, it will be his workouts and his age issue.

On a different note, I thought we might take Saric at 16, but NBAdraft.net has him going at 10 to portland. I'm surprised, I thought we would be taking him a bit too early at 16 to draft him.

I don't trust nbadraft.net. Draftexpress has Shabazz at 9 and Saric at 24, for example.

nbadraft.net also has Nogueira at 18 and Tony Snell at 19, and Rice and Withey at 34 and 35. Odd.
