why not?

I'm biased against players that stay 3 or 4 years but mostly because they beat Kentucky.

Like Willie Cauley-Stein who will be a average NBA player at best?

That's your opinion. And he could have come out last year and been a first round pick so it's not really the same.

Instead he came back and hurt his draft stock. It's clear he's a maxed out player.

Yes. I respect Ancelotti. Juve and Real Madrid have a good relationship.

I would have came out but I think he wanted to try to win a championship. It wouldn't suprise me if he stays another year. He has a different personality than me. And it's your opinion that he is maxed out and hurt his draft stock. But again I think he stayed because he wanted to win a championship.

Dekker.  He just took that game by the balls, lol. ;D A step back 3 to break the tie at 60, followed by taking a charge in the post, and he capped it all off by beating an excellent defender and getting to the line.  I think he had a driving layup from a post up, as well, before the game was tied at 60.  He also shut down the smaller Harrison, although I can't remember which one right now, by using his length.  If Wisconsin had opted to get him the ball inside when one of the Harrisons was guarding him, he could have finished with 20-25 points, but they were dumb for a stretch there, lol.  Regardless, me likey. ;D

Dekker is a better fit for the C's.

At worst, he's just a role player.

At best, I think he could have a similar growth as Klay Thompson has shown in the league.

Kaminsky for me, even though I like both. He's been the better player all year, and he's a 7 footer. Dekker has been a March Madness hero for sure, but Kaminsky has been every bit as good. He just outplayed the Kentucky bigs!

I think Dekker is becoming a bit of an emotional pick

Dekker has the better athleticism to compliment his skill-set, though, at least imo, while  Kaminsky looks like Nolynyk 2.0 to me.  No thank you, lol. ;D

I like Kaminsky. But I would have to say Dekker.  Clutch after clutch shots

Dekker or Trey Lyles with our own pick

Dakari Johnson with the Clippers pick (a little reach, but I like the kid)

No part of Kaminsky or WCS

Whoever falls to the Sixers' second rounder

Willy Hernangómez with our second rounder (stash him)

If Washington picks 50, use the selection to stash another prospect.

I've been hoping for Dekker with the Celts pick if they make the playoffs, but he might have played himself into the lottery now. He's got the athleticism to be a real NBA player. I don't think Kaminsky will be anything more than a backup.

Kaminsky will at least be as good as Luis Scola, no?

Dekker deserves a lottery selection...not sure what kind of player he will be in NBA.

It will be interesting to see Dekker vs Winslow in the final. Great litmus test for Dekker.
