Hassan Whiteside

I have him going to New Orleans

I think if he can convince teams 8-12 that he has the right attitude, he won't fall that far. Guys with his skillset usually don't drop that far unless there are serious questions about their character.

I don't see him falling past Toronto, if he works out, he could finally move Bargniani to the PF

I think Utah is going to pick either him or Aldrich. I hope we pick whiteside honestly.

I guess Toronto won't pass him up, since Bosh certainly leaves and they would get pretty thin up front.
And they finaly could switch Bargnani to the four.

I can see him anyywhere from
10-20
Toronto might not draft him, really if he's drafted at 13 his stock didnt fall or anything

i think houston will move up a few spots (perhaps trade with the clippers) so they can make sure they get him

Im so happy that he is not performing in current Draft Combines because his stock would for sure increase if he came to the Combine and performed.

I hope so badly the Raps draft him at 13

The Pacers seem pretty interested too: http://www.1070thefan.com/mg/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10116145

Whiteside has been getting pushed around and really bullied by every other big in team workouts.IDK how much teams like him anymore.Toronto has a workout today with Sanders, Orton, Aldrich and Udoh but Whiteside is not participating.I have a feeling Raps are currently going..
Cousins
Favors
Monroe
Aldrich
Udoh
Orton
Davis
Patterson
Whiteside
Sanders

Im assuming Monroe, Davis, Patterson and Whiteside will come in for workouts

The reports are that Whiteside is performing terribly in workouts vs. the other big men.

He's looking confused, backing down and getting bullied.

Could be another Saer Sene with a worse attitude.

I wouldn't risk using a lottery pick on him.

He got pushed around by most of the good big men he faced in college, did everyone expect that to change in workouts? I don't see that as being a big concern. His attitude is the biggest concern and it will be the reason teams pass on him.

If he could play PF- I doubt he slips past 10.

..

Do you really think it's that bad? I feel like its more of one reporter mentioning it, and now that's his story. I think there are bigger risks in the draft than Whiteside -- Cousins, Favors, Orton? But he's just young, a player to be developed.

I mean you guys are acting surprised that he's getting pushed around. He got pushed around by every NBA-level or even near NBA-level big man he faced in college lol. He's weak and the other thing he brings to the table on D is shot-blocking. And that can be neutralized if you get in his body and go up strong at the rim. I think he goes to New Orleans (could be Tyson Chandler 2.0 for Chris Paul) or Toronto (where he'd allow them more lineup flexibility).
