NBA Draft thread

Brandon Rush returning to Kansas after he injured his knee.

 

LAWRENCE - Less than a week before Kansas' Brandon Rush was scheduled to take part in the NBA pre-draft camp, he injured his right knee and decided Friday to withdraw his name from the draft and will return for his junior season.

 

Well, another year of letting him have it when he comes to Columbia. Hopefully this has negative implications on their recruitment of Releford, although I don't know why it would.

I wonder if Bill will take back the mean words he had about him now. Time for all the Jayhawk fans I know who badmouthed him to forget they did it.

 

may be a torn ACL. Don't know how that will affect his NBA future.

 

It's a torn ACL. Timepoint of return could be anywhere between six months to a year.

Well not surprising but Oden tested as the strongest player in the draft. However Kevin Durant tested umm a little weak. Durant couldnt bench press 180lbs 1 time wow. I knew he wasnt that strong, but 180lbs? not once?

 

I'd bet Scottie Pippen had the same issue when he came out. He'll get stronger.

 

I think that comparison doesnt make a whole lot of sense. Durant is a big man where Pip wasnt. Durant is going to have a lot bigger people guarding him, and vice versa than what Pip had to deal with. But yes he will get stronger.

Yep everyone should pass on him until the9th pick. :P I am sure this won't effect him one iota.

Ok you get the other 8 GM's in front of the Bulls to agree to this, and I will forget about him being a pansy :wink:

Done and done. I don't think this really matters too much though. They can get that fixed this summer.
