But the kid is legit.
I still think we land Stephen Zimmerman, especially considering that UK already has a 6'11" center, and Zimmerman is all about putting himself in the best position.
I see a class of:
Newman
Bragg
Zimmerman
Dorsey
with the following players leaving:
Oubre
Alexander
Greene
I think Greene will get enough looks from NBA scouts that he'll be a first round pick. And once that kid can get out of college and play professionally, he'll do it. I think he could come back next year and be absolutely dominant, but someone will get in his ear. And truth be told, a 6'7 SG that can drain threes at will has no business not being drafted. He'll be the next Kevin Martin.

Hmmm, not sure I see it with Greene. He needs to learn to play man to man better defense before he's considered a 1st rounder.
