I have some sad news to report, Action News' Gary Papa has passed away! Rarely do I watch local news, but when I do, I would tune to Gary Papa at 11:20PM on the weekdays! He will be missed! http://www.philly.com/philly/news/breaking/20090619_Gary_Papa_dies.html

If Curry falls to 17 (which won’t happen) but if it does, the sixers need another shooter and would obvioulsy help us out there. I like Lawson because he fits our fast-paced offense. Je was the quickest guy with the ball his entire career in the NCAA.

Hollinger just did his draft rater on ESPN (his formula that predicts NBA success based on college stats, age, and some other factors) – he had Lawson #1 overall.

Greek - Not to disappoint you (or me) but read this:

After publishing the Tiers story this morning, I got some interesting feedback from several NBA scouts and executives. A couple of players out of Tier 4 threaten to crash the top-10 party. Who are they? North Carolina's Ty Lawson has taken some abuse during the draft workout process, but it sounds as though teams are starting to come around. Lawson was, without question, the most productive point guard in the draft. Teams are skeptical because of his size and his style of play. But he's been great in several recent workouts according to sources and apparently is in the mix with the Knicks at No. 8 if guys like Curry and Hill are off the board. Lawson also is still on the board at No. 10 to Milwaukee and the Pacers at No. 13 and the Sixers at No. 17 are also giving him a serious look. If Lawson ends up crashing the top 10, that would probably push either Holiday or Flynn out.

Look like Ty might now be getting the due he deserves. Bad for us though.

Dannie could you tell us about Lawsons on-ball defense?

All I know is lawson was a lottery pick the whole season. He was named acc player of the year right? Then while still hurt he goes out and plays great during the tourney, his team wins the championship. Then about 3-4 weeks ago his stock starts taking a serious nosedive, at that point I said that I wish that I could just fast forward to June 25 so that he will be there for us. Well with a week to go, his stock is still in the crapper. Great for us, now lets just hope that the teams above us don’t get any smarter within this next week.

Dannie, every which way I tinker with a mock draft, Lawson is always there for us,question;is he a better N.B.A. player than Curry down the road,is he as good a fit for us,if he can be a good spot up shooter, and why is he slipping down to us at all, when Flynn, to me does nothing better.

Suton is a good fit for our new offense, he showed good high post passing ability and sets a solid screen. Shipp seems to have gotten better athletically, we discussed him last year,remember, and could play 3 as much as 2. Rivers is also interesting, can he play some p.g. .
