Too bad I'll miss this.

The last Nike Hoop Summit is on youtube, for those of you who haven't seen it. Wiggins, Shabazz, Noel, Saric, Bennett and so on are all in it. Really good game.

When do you leave?

Honestly would you even consider Brandon Davies in the second round?

Wouldn't even cross my mind.

Yep. Looking at that list, I'll just say (even though at this point it's become somewhat cliché) this Hoops Summit roster would demolish that one. Way too much offensive firepower and strength.

Experts are saying this '13 class is better than the '04 and '07 .. which are generally considered to be among the best ever.

I started to yesterday. I have been ashamed to show my avatar over there because my fantasy team has been such a disappointment.
